Slowly but surely indeed but I am still crafting as and when I can. Which really doesn't feel like much to be honest but I am squeezing in the odd stitch here and there between life and it's happenings! I did make some beautiful Christmas decorations however I feel naughty putting pictures of the up now as the Christmas moment has well and truly passed. I might pretend that I made them for this coming Christmas and boast about them in December. Shhh! No one will know...
I finished a lovely warm and snuggly knitted bobble hat for the other half, however it would was a bit too warm and snuggly due to the fact that is came out MASSIVE and covered his head, face, neck and shoulders. I followed the pattern to the letter - didn't even go wrong! But I guess ignoring that part about 'gauge' was going to catch up with me eventually! It is now keeping our penny jar warm :)
Another cushion cover completed, the only thing I ever manage to see through from start to finish! And after the discovery of Tatty Devine's lovely book 'How to Make Jewellery' I have branched out into a bit of jewellery making! I wonder what friends/family/colleagues/neighbours/acquaintances/passing strangers will be getting as gifts this year?!
I am desperately trying to get back to my old passion of personalised underwear, mostly bridal orientated but it used to do so well until I lost my underwear supplier. So I am looking at ways of how to become my own supplier! I have made a pattern, I have a sewing machine, I just need the right fabric and I may actually get there...one day!
