Recents Makes ~ Dino, Octo, Spooko and Humbugo

'Recent' makes is a bit of a lie, I made the spooky bunting before Halloween and I started making the humbug brooches a fair while ago too. Maybe the definition of recent can apply to that. Who knows.
The dinosaur is Will's birthday present, he's been named Stuart and watches TV with us.
Pink octopus was a custom order for someone on folksy. The octopus' are something I already make, the colour was the custom part.
Don't ask why I have so many pairs of scissors. Nobody knows.
The spooky bunting I made just for us as a bit of Halloween decoration, for the letters I used the moogly alphabet pattern.
Some humbug brooches for that Scrooge you know. These will be at Clutter City with me on Sunday 15th Dec, they aren't listed online at the moment but if you'd like one just let me know.

Old Man Wilson

This is Will's birthday face last week.

One of many awesome presents was an anatomical crocodile model that has gaps in it's outside sections so you can see its innards. Pretty cool.

(I realise this isn't the prettiest photo of Norwich ever but it's a fact and topical so it gets included)
We went on an adventure and found lots of graffiti.

There's a car park that has all of it's walls covered. It's so bright. I have no idea whether the people that own the car park want it there or not but it makes for a much better looking car park as far as I'm concerned.

After all the walking we stopped for a coffee and a shared brownie which I documented with much skill.
Will loves it when I take photos of him.

Clutter City Yuletide Weekend

Just a quick post to say myself and Will are going to be selling our wares at Clutter City again this month.

We'll be there on the Sunday only but it looks to be a good weekend all round so you should probably check out both days, just be sure to save some pennies for the second day ;)

365 Update

Day 305 (01.11.13) Taking photos of light in the dark never gets old. For me anyway.

Day 317 (13.11.13)

Day 322 (18.11.13)

Day 323 (19.11.13)

Day 328 (24.11.13)

Day 330 (26.11.13) Will got a year older.

Day 333 (29.11.13)

Day 334 (30.11.13) Making humbug brooches.

A few pics from my 365 challenge over the past month. I gave up on the weekly updates seeing as this project is always the first to get pushed to the side when I have other things going on (therefore making for some boring photos) but I'm not giving up on it. Almost finished now!

Spooky City Parade

This year was the first Spooky City parade in Norwich. We didn't dress up but went along to have a look at everyone that did (and to take lots of blurry photos that kind of work because it's spooky...). The parade started up at the castle, we joined it just below and it went through to The Forum. There were performers along the side of the route, the best of which had to be the bats. I love their big furry bellies, best bat costumes ever. Also she was making the oddest bat squeak sound which was just brilliant.
Then we came home, ate sausage and bean cassorole, lots of sweets and watched some classic Hammer Horror.
Our Halloween always lacks in trick or treaters but I don't really mind, more sweets for me :)

All Hallows' Eve Eve

We're big fans of Halloween so obviously we had to go and see the giant pumpkin being carved in The Forum the day before.
It was so big it didn't look real. I thought it looked really soft because of how it's kind of splooged out at the bottom but obviously it's not. (carved by Ray Noakes)
Then we came home and made ghost biscuits. They may well look like they were made by children but they were in fact made by two adults that bake like children, children that bake awesome tasty ghosts.
