samX 4 Xmas
Time to think about decorations for the holiday season at the office, and since George has left I took the chance to make samX (Xmas backwards :-) )
samX is a red and green dalek with extra sparkles and a bit of glitter to make him stand out from the rest of the yarn daleks.

George Felt like Helping Out
www.felt.co.nz has opened a temporary shop to donate handmade items. The proceeds are to go to the New Zealand Red Cross, who are doing loads of fab things in Christchurch to help out those affected by the big earthquake. George felt like he wanted to help out, and here a few of the loads of other fab people who also felt the same.

The Photo Story
You remember that scary looking Dalek (he's decided he's called George) - well I had to do a photo story for him for the competition. Though I might share it :-)
George looks fluffy and camp looking… probably why he tries to prove that he’s tougher than the normal yarn Dalek….he is taking over his new realm with great enthusiasm.
No visitor dare have more than their fair share of biscuits at morning tea time
George is taking over any and all earth technology
He’s even practising hold up procedures so he can take control of the cash holding in NZ
George is taking delight at making sure all the earthlings complete their training as required
Learning of other Yarn Daleks out there George has commandered the photocopier to ensure all of mankind know of the Daleks demands 
(thanks go to my fab group of Course participants this week that agreed to being photographed :-) )

Yooo-hoooo... Exterminate Sweetie
Be prepared to quiver behind the couch.....
Though I'll bet you're quivering more with mirth than fear :-D
I had to have some help with the eye stalk and the whisk and plunger arms, the crochet kept curling, so I got some assistance from pipecleaners and wrapped them with silver ribbon yarn to make them a bit more sci-fi - apart from the whisk arm I wrapped that in more fluffy stuff :-)

Into the groove
Finally, after months of change I feel like I'm getting back into the groove.
I had had some not very flattering feedback about the pictures of my tea cosy's in my Etsy shop, so I spent some time yesterday having a play...
I've also started to sort my shops out a bit:
Kitsch for your home at Etsy
Everything granny squares & scarfs at Zibbet
I've also joined Ravelry which is a crochet and knit community where I'm hoping to learn more crochet techniques.
My first assignment I signed on for is a 'Dalek a-long' - knit or crochet a Dalek during July. The 4 pages of instructions were doing my head in and were a great help starting the fire yesterday and so I'm winging it.
The story so far.....
I think he might turn out a bit camp with all of this fluff....
