Update August 2018

It has been quite a while since I added anything to this blog.  I have been busy doing hexagons for my current project.  However, I needed a break and while waiting for the repairs being done following an unfortunate 'flood' thanks to the washing machine, I have been doing some crochet.  Beanies (large to very small for premmie babies), a small dilly bag (from string) and a tea cosy.  The tea cosy was very easy to do although it looks complicated. 

Almost Christmas

The Christmas tree is a brooch.  I have made some of these for CQs to sell at the November fair a few years ago, but never one for myself - so here it is.  The stocking is for our annual Christmas swap.  They are both quite small.

GRUMPY CAT

I received Grumpy Cat fabric for my birthday early this year and I have finally used some of it to make a craft bucket for myself.  I make these to sell at the CACA fairs and they usually sell.  This one is 10 inches square each side and base - fairly big (I'm sure I can fill it) and I have used foam interfacing on the lining to give it stability.  The second pic is with Bertie - some help you can do without!!!

Mini Tree Swag

Made this for Christmas and for small gifts for friends.  Very cute and a quick and easy project.

ANOTHER BAG - TWO FOR ONE

Raining - good day for sewing.  I made this bag, pattern loaned from a CQ friend.  It is two bags in one, handy if you buy more than you expected!!

Hanging Storage 'Bag'

A friend at CQs loaned me an English quilting magazine with this bag in it - a useful storage idea.  I made this one for my grand-daughter.  I have also reduced the size of the pattern, however I have yet to make a smaller one.
