Pixie-Crafts round up from the last couple of weeks!!

Oops!! Didn't realize how long exactly it had been since I blogged!!

Lots has been happening with several new creations along with several departures of some of the longest serving characters!

I have been keeping the Lalys busy with various chores, one of which was cleaning the pixie wagon...didn't think it through too well however!  >.<

I was asked by a lovely lady to create an elf for her (Edwin the Elf). She writes books about the adventures of Edwin the elf and wanted a 3d version of him to help her further with her stories!
I was unsure at first as to how I was going to do this, but I have to say I am so happy with how he has turned out! He's a proper cheeky chappy!

We then said an emotional farewell to Dora Dragon...Mini Dirk was inconsolable with grief but was happy she had found a new forever home. 

A newbie then appeared in the form of Lupo Lamb! He's a right cutie and is one of the larger dolls measuring about 18 inches tall! 

He is available over at the pixie shop :) 

A very sad day on the 17th as we bid a very emotional farewell to Fibi Fox and Fly Toadstool as they both headed off to a new home.... They did stay together however and have stayed in touch since leaving and have sent pics of their new furbaby friend! 

Another new appearance from a completely new doll, Mici Mermaid. She is available still in the pixie shop! 

I absolutely loved making her and was so happy with the Riot Knits yarn I used. She turned out more stunning than I could ever imagine! 

A new Panda also appeared. She was sent to a special someone as a gift from myself, and it appears that she has been spoilt rotten already and been taken of various trips and has also made a furbaby friend! 

I then received the most gorgeous bunch of flowers from this lovely lady as a thank you. Mini Dirk helped me say thank you! 

Talking of Mini Dirk!...he was up to his usual tricks but had somehow managed to drag Rhubarb Custard into his games in the form of swinging from the washing line!! 

This however was unfortunately Dirks last piece of mischief at Pixie Towers as he has been re homed and now has a new bunch of friends to create havoc with! 

A very bitter sweet day indeed :'( , but we have heard from him and he is having lots of fun. 

 

Mini Bina Biscuit bear then arrived and caused a bit of a stir. She sold in a record time of 3 minutes from being posted online! She is still available however as a made to order piece :)

Almost finished!!! phew! 

Lastly, we welcomed Mini Dirk Von Dirkinberg from Minidirkinstein. One of Mini Dirk's distant cousins from a magical far off land ;) 

Made from gorgeous Ice Yarns wool. He is available in the pixie shop now. 

That, my friends, is the latest round up! Apologies for leaving it so long! I will promise to update more often! :D

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine whereever you all are

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!!!
