Panda Panda

Jess requested a felt panda and so I've spent this afternoon making him. He's holding a little heart. He was going to be holding a miniature toy version of himself but I didn't much feel like cutting and sticking teeny tiny panda features.

Also, I've worked my last shift at Debenhams until after we get back from Paris and David is safely returned home. Yay! Also also, I've got a hair appointment tomorrow that I must remember to go to. My hair's a bit long and straggly :| This evening I'm going to play pool in 147 with Harry, Will and his visiting friend. I'm quite looking forward to it because I've been sat on the sofa all day watching rubbish on iPlayer and I feel so very lazy.

Poppy

Today I made a red poppy and sewed it to a hair bobble, just for funsies. It's quite cute. I was supposed to walk into town to make a hair appointment this afternoon but just as I was about to leave it started pouring it down with rain. And typically now that I'm about to leave for work, it is bright sunshine again. Psh. I'm on the kids section at work for this shift, which is way better than the home department, but still so very boring. We did book our Disneyland tickets today though, so I am happy happy happy :D

[Damnit, I was on home again. And some crazy idiot high up in an office somewhere decided it would be a good idea to increase the price of every single pan ever by £1 and guess who gets to re-price? Fun times.]

Die zweite flower

So here's my mum's one. She wanted more leaves.

Gym Flower

So I joined the gym. *amazed face* You get a key thingy to use the machines and everyone's looks exactly the same. Since my mum, dad and brother have all got one, it was getting pretty hard to tell who's belonged to who, so I made a flower key ring for mine :) My mum has requested (demanded) a key ring of some sort too, so I suppose that'll be next. In other news, I went to see the new Harry Potter film (twice) and it was magic-tastic :) Also, I've gone back to Debenhams to work for the summer, so that's probably my excuse for not having made anything in ages.

An attempt at dinner

This afternoon I drove my car (!) to Aldi with my mum to buy ingredients for my cooking efforts. (After going to the leisure centre to join the gym, might I just add!) I chose barbecue chicken skewers out of my cookery book to make, because they looked pretty easy and tasty. Well, I made them (with a large amount of help from my brother) and they tasted entirely of lime, but at least they look nice. Besides, with some soy sauce they were edible. Meh. I really don't enjoy cooking meals very much because it takes ages and it never goes wonderfully and there's always a big mess at the end. At least with cakes and stuff, it's always tasty. Oh well. I'm going to have to learn at some point, I suppose.

Keble Keyring

I made David a little Keble college crest keyring to go on his room key. It's quite small, too small for my sewing abilities, so I just glued all the bits down. I hope they don't fall off. It was especially fiddly to do those tiny stars. My star cutter was too big, so I had to use scissors. Anyways, here it is.

Fortune Cookies

Tonight I made two little fortune cookies, one with a red heart fortune, one with a purple star. (The pattern is here.) I planned to make lots and fill a cute little basket or something, but I got tired and went to bed instead :)
