Rub a dub dub

I've had this chap coloured up for a while it was just waiting for the right sketch and the one on Sketch Saturday was perfect for him.
The image is a Dustin Pike one from High Hopes and worked with the idea that he can work for a mans card, which is why there's not many embellishment. The papers are Kaiser and I used embroidery thread to decorate the side and the brads are fabric.
I'm really pleased with the flower soft and fun flock together it works a treat and you get such a good coverage, so much so I now have a pot already mixed. Love the sentiment which is also from High Hopes.
The furniture arrived yesterday and the new lampshades too, now I can slowly get the house sorted out and be in less of a muddle. I do have problem I broke the string in the curtain tape and needed to get some more to rethread the tape, the curtain shop recommended crochet thread from the Craft shop next door how convenient.
It happened to be The Art of Craft and Jane was over the moon with her new Crafts Too embossing folders, one of which is a 5inch SQUARE of dots, no more matching the dots up. She had some alphabet ones too and only another crafter can get excited about the forthcoming Christmas ones. A new punch fell into my hands too but I was hoping to get that at Ally Pally so I've saved my Sis from having to carry it!
