what in the world have i been up to? everything it seems...

My creative space has exploded this week...

lots on the boiler all at once and as usual not a lot getting completed.

hemming some curtains.

Got some new wool which i am going to try and make a ripply crocheted scarf inspired by the lovely Attic24 (pattern here) her blog brightens my day.

Another 2 English paper pieced balls in this cute fleecy fabric, one for the bubba and another as a gift for little Jim.

Image and free pattern from here
then these cute little guys as a wedding gift for some of Hubby's work mates... now just need to figure out how to read the pattern

some handles for my next bag..

Lets not forget the bigs and smalls blanket that has been rudely shoved aside for the moment (don't worry, i haven't forgotten about you)

and I've also got material to make a crib for bubba. Luckily my FIL is very handy and has already made the frame and now i just need to figure out how to make the hanging basket, but as bub is due in 13 days i REALLY need to get a wriggle on!

Finally... an update

Ive stopped playing bejeweled for long enough to turn lots of bits of fabric into a bag...
YES! a REAL bag!

I'm really quite impressed with myself.
just don't look too closely cause i still need to make the finishing touches ie: trim all those loose strands etc.

I even made a little decorative do-dat for it as well...

Next I'm up for a bit of hexing... i have soooo much pink fabric that i really feel the urge to get rid of most of it...

As pink is my most hated out of the colour spectrum, I'm making it into stuff and inflicting it onto others.. you have been warned...

English Paper Piecing Ball

At the Brown Owls Meeting I made a ball for bubba... its awesome.
As a finishing touch i added a little bell inside for a bit of extra goodness.

Benbow promtly fell in love with it...


and subsequently tried to eat it..

Glad he likes it.
