Couldn’t pass this up

Okay, I know this book is aimed at young girls but it looks to be right at my level :-). I had bought it thinking to give it to Amy for Christmas but I might just keep it for myself. Check out some of the things to make…

Isn’t it all just so yummy? For my fellow Aussies I got it in Woolworths last week – I think it was around $15. I think I might go back and get a few for Christmas presents. Oh, you can also buy Made By Me from Amazon.

You know the best part? If it’s aimed at young girls then hopefully I might even be able to successfully make some of these things 🙂

Hooky fun

I have a new addiction. After being inspired by Lucy at Attic 24, my good friend Sue finally taught me to crochet in June. She got me started on a lap blanket. It’s very easy and fun and I love watching it grow with each row I add. The only problem is that it’s getting rather large and heavy and not very transportable. When I finish this project I’ll try to learn squares so that I can work away from home.

I knitted something that’s not a scarf…

…and even more importantly used a variety of stitches. I’m so very proud of myself.

More sewing adventures

I feel like I’ve been a bad blogger lately but there really hasnt’ been too much exciting happening around here. I’ve been busy with cleaning and shuttling kids around the last few weeks so today I’m taking a ME day – it’s also A day in my life. Not sure what’s in store yet – shopping or scrapbooking or maybe some of both.

Anyway, I wanted to share last week sewing creation…. a table runner…

I’m just thrilled with how it turned out and how great it looks in the loungeroom. I’m now thinking of making covers for my cushions to bring more colour into the room.

This is my view now when watching TV.
