Happy Easter !!

Hello all,

Easter is almost here and I am sure many of you have wonderful things planned for the bank holiday weekend.

I have completed another bunny today, Rita Rabbit, who is now available over at the Pixie Crafts shop.

I just love doing the cross stitched bellies and have amassed a rather large collection of patterns which I am hoping to get good use of!

This week saw the giveaway being announced and 5 lucky people now have little pixie bits winging their way to new homes.

We also saw rather a lot of wind this week!
Mini Dirk Dragon decided it was a good idea to try kite flying in the wind but got more than he bargained for when he was very nearly blown away!
Luckily for him, Big Dirk, Loni and Panda were all close by and able to grab him before he flew away! Silly Mini Dirk! :D

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter break. I hope you all have treasured family time and eat lots of chocolate. I'm sure you will all also remember the meaning of Easter and how important it is.

Pixie hugs as always
 

Mushrooms, bunnies and Lightsabers!

Strange title indeed!
Needless to say, these are the latest additions to Pixie Towers! ....I'll explain light sabers shortly hehe.

Firstly we have a new Toadstool man who has joined us.... Fly Shroomy... he's a fun kinda guy (geddit?!)

 And then we have Cherry Bunny, my second lil bag charm doll. She is just sooooo cute! I am so happy with how she turned out and can't wait to get started on some more! The cross stitch was difficult due to her size but I think it worked really well :)
 

 Ok.... so lightsabers! Whilst browsing Amazon a few weeks ago I discovered a light up crochet hook!!! I know right!!!  Well, long story short, my finger slipped and I accidentally purchased it.
I had totally forgot about it until it turned up this morning and wow did I squeak!
Is it wrong that I have wandered around the house doing a zzhhuuu zzzhhhuuuu noise (like a lightsaber) today in my excitement?! I think not!
Only the sneakyness of crocheting in bed will show its true potential, but I have high hopes for it becoming my favourite hook  :D

For those of you that are envious of my new Star Warsesque light hook.... heres the link to where I got it from ;)

Super Duper Light Saber Type Crochet Hook!!!

Last weeks pixie update :)

Hi everyone!

What a week it's been at pixie hq!
We've waved goodbye to Lupo who is heading off to a new home.

We've welcomed new bunny Daisy...

And then promptly said goodbye again as she found a new home within 6 minutes of being put up for rehoming!! 

A new prototype, mini Bina Bear has been created and interest suggests there will be more of these coming! 

So here we are on Monday, half way through a new doll already and off shopping for new wool for giraffes!.... Phew!!! 

Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend.

There will be another freebie pattern appearing this week also.

Rita Rabbit

Hello all!

I have been rather busy over the past couple of days, working my lil fingers around a new girly, Rita Rabbit. Rita is a Lalylala mod which can be found for free on Ravelry.com, although you must own one of the original Lalylala patterns to be able to create her.
She has been made for a special lil girl who could do with something lovely to hug.
She took a bit longer than usual due to the rather intricate cross stitch. Some of you may look at it and think "that's not intricate!" but when you've never ever done any form of cross stitch, trust me, it's not easy!
I love the idea of the cross stitch on the crochet so much, I have been trawling through Pinterest for freebie cross stitch patterns so I can create more like Rita :)
Let me know what you think Pixie Peeps!! Is she a big yay or nay?!

Rose Brandysnaps

Hi everyone,

Popping past to share my latest bunny, Rose Brandysnaps.
She's available now over at the Pixie Crafts Etsy shop
www.etsy.com/uk/shop/pixiecraftdolls

It's been a tough week this week for me so sitting and creating has truly been a complete godsend. Nothing like letting your imagination fly away.

Enjoy your weekend you lovely lot xxx

Lettuce Thistlethorn

Hi everyone :)

Busy day today. I have completed a giraffe, which I haven't made in a while! She turned out well I think, I was relieved as she was a requested order.

My second make of the day is another bunny, Lettuce Thistlethorn :)
She's not as Xmassy as yesterday's make but she is wrapped up for winter.

Next I shall be turning my hand to some little elves :)

Stay warm lovely pixie peeps! xxx

Cranberry Snowtrifle

Hi everyone,

Well to say that I was shocked today is an understatement! 

I finished a lil Xmas rabbit today, Cranberry Snowtrifle ☺️

She's super cute and fluffy! 

Listed her on Etsy..... And she sold.....in 90 seconds!!! 😳

I'm gobsmacked! Hehe. 

Needless to say I shall be making more Chimbo bunnies!! 

New York... New Yorrrkkkkkkkk!!!

Hi everyone, 

I have completed another one of my orders which was a rabbit. 

This is Vicki and she will be heading off to New York this week to her new home... Not in any packaged box on a cargo plane either may I add....oh no.... This lil girly is going full on comfort mode in a Virgin Atlantic passenger plane! Lucky thing ☺️

So my Halloween plans seems to be going into overdrive also at the moment what with the very important question....what shall I carve onto my pumpkins this year?! 

Mr Pixie seems to have collected an awful lot of pallet wood lately also so I have decided to help him use this wood (even if he had other plans for it...) and have asked him to create a very special framework for a spooky project.... More to come on this later though!

Today's bit of pixieness will consist of a custom pixie being worked on and possibly another lil zombie, should I get time.

Enjoy your day you lovely pixie followers.

Hugs xx
