WIP

I am delighted to report that a fair bit of crafting was taking place over at Jemima HQ last week. It's not often that I have the opportunity to spend some quality time with the sewing machine. The conditions need to be right - comfy warm clothes, no distractions to lure me out of the house, and a nice acoustic play list or a good audio book.


I bought some gorgeous Christmas fabrics a few weeks ago so this was the perfect opportunity to get making. Can you guess what they are yet?? I'll be gingerly cutting some different fabrics to make some more today as I was unfortunate enough to come into contact with some peanuts over the weekend. So it's a slow day getting over the allergic reaction for me today. Plenty of hot tea and vitamin C and maybe a little bit of knitting will set me right again. :)

Help! I have been lost under a pile of granny squares!

I decided that I'd make myself a housewarming prezzie so I thought I'd make me a throw for my sofa (yes I do now actually have a sofa - no more floor for me!). I've crocheted 81 of these purple and cream squares and I've joined two thirds of them but have sadly run out of yarn! So this project is being put on hold whilst I scour t'internet for a match.

Maybe I'll pick up the dreaded shawl and give that another go in the mean time!

WIP Wednesday

Sorry for the blog silence last week. I moved! Again! They say that moving is one of the most stressful things you can do and I've moved 3 times in the past 4 months. But I'm settled now and here to stay. Phew! We ended up having to move from the last place so I went and got myself my own flat. Exciting! It is little more than a shoebox but it's my shoebox. :)

Somehow I have managed to blag myself every piece of furniture / appliance that's here. I haven't bought a single thing! And I plan on making most of the furnishings myself. Starting with these:


My light shade is dusty and bent so I thought I'd make myself a yarn chandelier! They're still drying 24 hours on but I'm itching to burst one of the balloons to see whether they keep their shape!


I actually really enjoyed cracking out the PVA and getting messy. Don't think I've done anything like that since I was a kid. Anyways you'll be seeing more crafty makes up here over the next few weeks. I have blinds, a throw, cushion covers and maybe even a rug on my list of things to make! Fun times!
