Super Saturday

What a great day. Lots of creative stuff. Lots of fun with my boys. Lots of smiles as I watched my boys with their daddy. Lots of lazy weekend happiness.

 

Naptime Friday, I did a little bit of tidying, with the intention of getting the whole studio spotless. Then I came across some fabric that the toddler picked last time we were at the fabric shop. I already had a project in mind, so thought I may as well get it done, and then I could pack away the sewing machine as well. (Gotta love the logic of the eternal procrastinator!) So Not only did I get it done, but it even got a test-drive this afternoon.

 

 

Lots of creative stuff happening – keep an eye out for some cards to be blogged soon!

Sunday Sewing…

I was all inspired to do some sewing on Sunday, so I dug out the fabric I scored at the op-shop a couple of weeks ago, and whipped up a little apron for myself, for crafty things. I often come home from wherever I’ve been, and am reluctant to do five minutes here or there, because I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty, and it’s not worth getting changed for a few minutes. So, I made myself an apron so I have no excuse!

 

A very simple design of my own making, but it’ll do the job!

Aprons, knitting and Mother In Laws

I am a bit behind in blogging, as we went to visit my mother in law over the weekend. I finished the apron as DH packed the car, so the photo is a bit dodgy:

 

I was reasonably happy with how it turned out. It was my first go at making my own pattern, and there are a few flaws in it that I am assured only I notice.

 

While there, MIL also dug out for me an old knitting book:

Full of different ways to jazz up knitting, lots of challenges, now to just find a project to try some of them out!

 

Speaking of knitting, I finished Pooh Bear’s blanket. He is very grateful, and assures me it is very warm.

 

I’ve also been tagged, but that will have to wait for another post with more time!
