2017 New year

The last few weeks of 2016 were very busy.  I had a special 0 birthday and lots of Christmas events to attend.


I have started the new year doing some hand stitching.  Lisa's (Fig n Berry) Twas the night before Christmas bom from 2016.  I am now (6 months behind).  Lisa has a new bom starting Feburary so im hoping to get this one nearly finished before the next one starts.

The other night I felt like knitting so I made some more fancy coat hangers for my dresses to stop them falling off.

This year I plan on finishing a lot of kits and using up fabric that I have.  No more impulse buying  I need to use what I have and buy to finish things off.  I am feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of things I have everywhere.

This year is about clearing out things I don't use or need, making things easier to get to.  Spending more time with my boys and doing a lot of fun things.

Happy New Year  

Little finishes

Mum asked me for some more knitted socks for Christmas so I have made her 4 pairs.(hot pink, blue, red and purple)

I finished these bags a while ago but need to get the fasteners to close them.

Friday night I started this stitchery by Gail Pan designs a birdhouse home.  I am wanting to frame it but I cant find a nice white pattern frame so I think it will sit for a while.

Have a great week I'm off to do some hand sewing today.

Blankets blankets blankets

I haven't been doing much sewing over the last month because I have been finishing these blankets.  The first one was an order  so I need to get it finished quickly.

The second one was made for one of Angus's friends.

Lastly this one was made for Angus for when he is in the car for winter.

Tonight's project is to cut up some fabric for charity quilts for  Karen  Martin and do the ironing.

Slowly does it

Not a lot of crafting lately.

Mum knitted these squares and I sewed them together for Angus for Cubs/Scouts camp blanket.

Some Hand sewing 

First Zipper pouch will be making a lot more of these.
