Well, the fox clock I showed you a peek of a while back is in the latest Craftseller magazine (issue 37, in the shops 8th May) - I love the colours in this one. It's always good to see a project professionally photographed, too.
And in the same issue are a couple of my cards, made with their free papers - very summery!
And in Quentin news...
not sure why he was licking his lips, but I love the picture!
stuffing falling out of bought toys
I've realised the toys I've bought for him are generally much less robust than the toys I've made for him, so with that in mind I'm planning to make a few more!
The first ones I made were put together in a matter of minutes from old jeans - the one in the picture above is his favourite, which is just two denim plaits joined to a square of denim in the middle. Really simple, but he loves it - it's great for tugging, running around, chasing and just chewing. And it's more robust than any of the rope tug toys I've bought.
So there will definitely be more of the handmade toys to come. I need to put together some patterns and tutorials, too, I think.

Congrats on having your beautiful creations featured in the magazine. Quentin looks as cute as ever!
Your magazine articles look great as usual. Our dog used to have a pink hippo toy that he liked to de-stuff. He got so much fun out of doing it that we would simply push the stuffing back in for him to pull out again!
Now lets see if I can just post one comment this week :-) Facebook page is a great idea, I've joined and shared, so some of my friends have joined too.
Your puppy is just too cute, thank you so much for supporting Guide Dogs in this way. x Joan
Oooh i love your foxy clock! The colours are fab, it would be really fun in a kitchen i think.
love the ice-cream card too, isn't it lovely to be on our way to ice-cream weather again! :)
I'm sure little Quentin will come on in leaps and bounds with his training. as he gets older, just the process of maturing seems to help a lot :) x
Oh, I do have a bit of a soft spot for black labs!
Lovely makes that you have done and in the magazine. Foxy is going to be a hit. Quentin is a little cutie.
That clock is awesome! I love it! Can't believe Quentin is so big already! Have a good week.
Your foxy clock is gorgeous, and I love the ice cream card too. Glad to see Quentin is enjoying his toys.
Quentin is gorgeous, my brother has a golden lab and his reason for life seems to be destroying cuddly toys - but only those he is given, he leaves other people's cuddlies well alone!
Congrats on getting the clock in the magazine, I often look out for your makes :-)
Have joined the facebook group and hope to be back posting regularly on Handmade Monday
Your fox clock looks lovely. Can't wait to get my hands on the magazine.
