Friday Night Sew In

Friday night's sew in consisted of me sewing together these knitted bed socks.

Making plastic bag holders.

Angus's school is having a Autumn festival and we are going to have a stall so I am making a few things, so I am going to put my own sewing on hold for a few weeks.

Friday Night Sew In

I started this project months ago, over the last week I have spent all my spare time making more squares.  On Saturday night I started to put it together but I still need some more squares for the length so I will be back in a few days with the finished blanket.

Another project that has now been finished thanks to Angus's help he got to use my sewing machine for the first time .  I spy quilt.  another Ufo finished and is at the quilters as I type.

I am enjoying getting ufo's out of the box and finished.  I am so tempted to start something new but then I think of the pile that I already have sitting there.

FNWF

Last night was the first Friday night with friends for the year so I pulled out another Ufo to work on.  My plan this year is to get most of my Ufos finished before starting new projects and keep up with my blog.

I started this I spy quilt about 18 months ago, I had a few blocks done but last night and some of today I have been preparing more.

Tonight while the boys are watching a movie in bed I will be sewing these blocks into lines and working out how many more I need to make it fit Angus' bed he has already claimed this one a he has helped sew some of the blocks.

This week I also finished another UFo Birds of Feather bag By Melly and Me  this was a project from a sewing day back in 2012.

Ufo's

Well it's the start of a new year, so this year I am going to concentrate on my huge pile of UFO's.  Mum asked me before Christmas if I could make some bed socks for my Aunty so I  made 3 pairs.

Next was this bag that I only need to line and put the handles on.  It's a great size to take to swimming lessons with some hand sewing in it.

Tonight's finish is this beautiful baby set from Melly and Me called Baby Bug, I was trying to work out when I started it, I think it could have been 2 - 3 years ago.

Well I'm off to finish another UFO I am trying to stay focused and strong and not start anything new this month.

More finishes

I have been working on more Ufo's, some of these didn't take long to finish wonder why they got put to the side.

Binding on this quilt.

Now you may be thinking that I wouldn't have any Ufo's to go well  here is the first pile in these boxes some contain more that one, so I will be at it for a long time.

I have lost some info so I decided to look in here.  Guess what its not there.

The grey box on the floor is overflowing , It has patterns and kits waiting to be done. (one day)

This is the after photo, I have filed all the patterns back into their right folders and made this space a bit more manageable.

Well I'm off to do some house hold chores now.

Happy New Year looking forward to a productive and more organised 2016.

Ufo's are getting done

Now I have finished off the last of my swaps it's time to get back into finishing some Ufo's and Angus teacher's gifts.

I made these for Angus teachers and before school carers.  Gail Pans reindeer mat with Chocolate Christmas trees, they couldn't believe that I made them.

Flirt layer cake quilt that only need the binding put on.

Owl Christmas stocking and owl soft toy.

Been a busy week but I will be back next week with more finishes.  Is it too early to may a new years resolution to keep up with my blog............

Santa Sack Swap

I am still around, I have been working on a lot of swap's lately so haven't been able to post pictures.

I was very lucky to be paired up with Anorina.  Angus and I opened them up together (what 7 yo doesn't like to open gifts.

Angus found a gift for him so he had to open it first.

Of course the Lego got made in record time.

Here are my goodies.

A bag, some fabric, a table runner, a bee mat, hand cream and nail file, a notebook, a sewing caddy, pot holders.   I have been very spoiled so thank you Anorina for the beautiful gifts.
