A Finish

I finished my wave/ripple afghan
Here it is in full...
I was dreading doing the tassels but they were done in under 2 hours yesterday afternoon after convincing my better half that he could wind and cut whilst watching the footy!!! haha it was like a production line...brilliant, I'm now waiting for my new wool to start my next one..

A First...

Finished my pouch for my latest swap over at PLPS4 I made a boxy pouch from a tute here (scroll down)
My first boxy pouch, well that's not strictly true, I had a trial run first and made this one
To be honest the zip is much better on the first one but I didn't use the fusible batting which made it easier.

The view from my window earlier today....

We all know around here that we have foxes because we see them playing on the gardens and road in the early hours and it's not unusual to find eggs that they've buried in your rockery when doing a bit of weeding!
But this little one (limping) must be very hungry ... or brave!

Caught up at last...

Up until yesterday morning I'd only done six of the Sew Happy QAL blocks tut tut, not through laziness, but other things take over sometimes!
I'm happy to say this is where I'm at now...

after a full day cutting and sewing yesterday, now to trim all the blocks and get sashing...

Quiet?....

It may have seemed quiet around here blogwise, but this is what's been happening here, we layed a new floor in kitchen/conservatory...


Excuse the temporary worktops, it's a work in progress, the new floor is luxury after living with concrete for months.

I've packaged my pouch up for the swap over at Mouthy Stitches


With a little parcel of scraps.

And a little doodling.....
