March Finishes


How fast is March travelling. It is a very busy month for me - Miss B is turning 4 and I have decided to make all her guests a little woollen fairy dolls - I am 1/3 of the way and will show you them when they are finished but here is one completion for March some Easter decorations aren't they cute I wonder who they are for???? We have been away camping and the Clipsal 500 is this weekend so all in all not a lot of crafting time to spend on WISPing but I will get to it soon. I have been enjoying looking at all the very clever OPAM participants and seeing all the different projects being worked on some people are very busy.

Another finish and a Valentines Gift

Just touching base - this is my second completed block of gail Pans free BOM - I am so pleased that I have managed to stay on track for two months I might have to treat myself with something
Although my next photo is my little Valentines trea rom my Darling Hubby - Some patterns I wanted , some fabric I wanted and some pinking shears which will be very useful for dancing costumes I suspect. I could try to tell you how clever he is to put together this little bundle for me but I guess nobody would be fooled - he required some assistance.


And lastly a little finish for this month Sir TP needed a new library bag - the previous one was a freebie from the school bank and was very boring and disgusting after 12 months use. Sir TP drew the design of choice and I used his favourite colours to put together this - I am quite pleased with the result - although the photo doesnt do it justice. Still working on that stocking and now needing to find some time to work on my Easter swap. What have I got myself into

January Projects

Phew, I am so pleased to tick off that I have finished the playgroup library bags. When I do something like this I love to see them all piled up finished it feels like such an accomplishment. I am also pleased to say that my two little pictures are framed and up on the wall one is our family coat of arms and the other is my DH Head CHorister medal from when he was 13. It is making a nice little family history putting together these little treasures where they can be seen. But the real project for this month my Kissing ball well after a trip to get more fluff and the extra bits it too is finally finished yay. here it is hanging on my sewing table (please don't look too closely at the mess).














I must say how annoying it is now with no plastic bags here in SA when you go to Spotlight to buy a bag of fluff and leave with cottons, beads several fabrics for the growing stash etc and I have misplaced my handbag shopping bag (already)!! So I think a bigger handbag might just be on my list - An Amy Butler one takes my fancy.


I am really enjoying my blog - and so pleased to see I have a follower -Thankyou, Thankyou. It is nice to feel like I have friends. The week passed in blog land I have signed up for the one project a month, signed up for the Easter swap and I posted a comment on the new Reindeer pattern from Melly and me which is O so gorgeous. I will definitely be adding it to my list. I have also completed block 1 of the Gail Pan Christmas BOM I am so proud of my start to the year. All of this work has even startd to make my Blog look a little more homey. i cant wait to find out my swap partner for the Easter Swap I hope I dont get too attached to my Swap project - it can be so hard to give things away.
