And look what nice surprise came in the post for me today!  Jenny subscribed to this magazine for me for three months, thanks!  So I sat on the sofa reading this today in the snug and warm!  

It came with a sewing supplement which includes 11 pretty craft papers that look like fabric up close and also a number of templates.  

I love the rose paper (1), green polka paper (2), pink butterfly paper (3), small butterfly paper (4) and floral patterned paper (5).

I have already thought of something to do with the rose paper (1) - Mark brought some clock mechanisms in the summer and I am going to get him to make me a clock for either the conservatory or kitchen using the rose paper, it is very pretty.

Buttons the Bear is finished!

Today we sewed his other leg on, sewed his back up and, stuffed him and finally sewed his head on.  
HE IS FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture of his heart being implanted (1) and the heart inside his body before we added even more stuffing (2).

Credit to Mark as he sewed about 75% of him together as it was very hard making sure the pieces were cut exactly so they didn't split while he was being sewn up.  Also when sewing him up the pieces had to line up exactly and the majority of it had to be done inside out and then turned the right way, just to make it that bit more confusing!

Anyway, here he is, introducing Buttons the Bear!  D.O.B 11/02/13 @ 9.15PM, weighing 0lbs 12oz.
 Isn't he CUTE!

Mark put one of Romans Blueberry minky blue camo nappies on him!

EDIT - Just noticed there is a greasy mark on all of the photos :-( Mark has just cleaned the lens as there was a FINGERPRINT on it :-/  (Thanks Roman!)
