I really appreciate all your wonderful comments on posts - recently finding out that many of you save your short ends - and some of you are going to start the addictive hobby!
I also relish those comments that set a challenge or get me thinking!
The fabulously creative Kate from Starfish Studio set me on a voyage to a galaxy far far away...
when she commented on the aliens made to decorate bras for my friends when they walked the moonwalk.

A smaller rounder version was created....
but she's a bit shy....
ah...that's better!
This little alien had a look around outside
...and inside...
... a crocheted sphere, some needlefelted features, fuse wire and wet felt for antennae and an (almost) invisible hanging thread...
the most unique element is the stuffing - oodles of short ends - a head full of memories of previous fun projects!
one more look around before she travelled in a recycled tomato box jiffy bag spaceship
all the way to the Scottish coast
where through the magic of the web I have seen her hanging around in Kate's workspace!
Kate has named her Ali - so I am very flattered!
She was made with 13g of stash.. if you include the stuffing!

The original aliens and their/my friends had a very memorable night raising money and awareness - they walked the walk, had fun and met lots of interesting ladies!
As a thank-you they gave me a beautiful brooch
and some amazingly delicious works of edible chocolate art!
I think the alien ideas may be here for a while...I may boldly go and hook some more!

Ali is cute! She has a pretty smile :)
Ali (the alien) is glowing with pride right now :)
She's hanging here above my laptop and I think she blushed a little when she saw just how famous she has become.
I love her Ali (the human). Thank you so much for sending her to me. I wonder whether she'll develop an Aberdeenshire accent or will she be a Brummie for ever...
This is such fun ... I WILL be getting my crochet hooks back out soon!
No he's too adorable!! I just love his little antennae!
You've finished lots of fun projects since I was last on here! :D
