Where has the last year gone? I began to write a blog in 2013 but after 3 entries seemed to give up so here I am starting again. This will only be a crafty blog and will not be a regular daily or even weekly event so it will just be a matter of watch this space.
I will begin by listing some of the crafty makes of the year so far:
Finished a baby blanket made from african flower motifs in a varigated green yarn and white yarn - a commission.
A baby's tank top with a cable up the front I beige - another commission.
8 head bands to use up the many oddments of Pampas left over from the neckwarmers knitted before Christmas - for Lynne to sell.
2 pairs of fingerless mittens with matching headbands, using up Galaxy yarn - for Lynne to sell.
4 pairs of epaulettes for Simon to wear on his parmedic unifoms.
A knitted felted bag using one of my own kits - for my own stall
Finished bright coloured crochet flower blanket, the paatern was n a copy of Mollie Makes- will keep this for myself.
Made a pair of armcovers for Mike's sofa where the kittens have ragged the fabric
Experimented with my new melt pot - rather unsuccessfully
I have finished the patchwork part of a jelly roll quilt but still have the mammoth ask of the quilting to do!
At the embroidety guild we had a workshop on designing without a pencil and I then continued to develop this in a workbook and started a Zentangle design which I intend to work on fabric.
All in all not a bad start to the new year.
So what is on the plans for this next week? Well I need to-
continue with my Zentangle tree of life.
Stitch my quilt
Alter the fasteings on julie's jacket - this may involve making my own frog fastenings
A baby jumper in cream - commission
Finish the grey and white fingerless mittens- started last week
Experiment with making crochet necklaces and brooches from left over ladder yarn.
