Well, I can hardly believe it's been nearly 2 weeks since my last post! I have been flat out lately, getting on with my study and doing the odd bit of crafting here and there, but completing nothing. I kind of felt like I had nothing to blog about, but a day with my boy today changed all that. First of all, I HAVE to show you how cute he's getting, these photos taken today. Not that he wasn't darn cute to begin with, he just gets even CUTER every day!
And, what's more, a parcel came for me today! A gorgeous bag made by Michelle from the
I am still up to mischief working on this little baby knit for a surprise gift for someone I know, but have about a thousand ends to darn in so am taking my time! Same goes with Austy's little jacket - I HATE stitching things up, but as soon as it's done I get to see him wear it and quite frankly it looks very boring unworn but I think he will look super spunky in it, so I'd better get it done before summer.
And another sneaky project - the EB Quilter's doll/teddy quilt swap is well underway at my place. For lunch today, I made a quilt sandwich and right now it is screaming out to me to get some more quilting done - my favourite part of building a quilt! I nearly DIDN'T use the hand appliqued panel (you can see just a SMIDGEN of it in the corner...) but was convinced by a couple of quilty girls in the know that it was the way to go. I have something extra planned for the bonus block I made to go in it's place. And below it, the cutest little button I found today to go on it. Some red mods to do to it first!
And last but not least, a flashback Friday pic. I haven't forgotten them, just haven'thad much time to hunt through them and scan one in lately. I have no idea what the theme is this week so this will have to do. Eeek! Problem with the scanner... I'll be back!
