NO COMPUTER EQUALS NO BLOG.....

 

But finally it has been fixed.  This is a project I began a couple of months ago.  It is still not finished.  I will take some pics of my progress soon and explain what it is hopefully going to be.

Spring is here and so are the September school holidays.  YAY!!!!  This is what the sea looked like at Barwon Heads last week.  Master O and I had a lovely stroll on the beach, a look at the shops and lunch with relatives.

PROMISED PHOTOS OF FINISHED BLANKET.....

Well here they are.  My finished purple and green granny blanket ready to go to my friend's new baby girl.

LATELY.................

Well I have finished my purple and green granny square blanket (photos soon).  So now it is back to working on this..............

I have also been working on these..............

Oh and I designed this....................

And with the scraps I made this.................  

Perhaps it might make a good mop of crazy hair for a little doll.  Hope you are all having some crafty fun.........

DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL?

In 2011 I bought myself a sketch book.  Not to start a journal but just to put in pictures of things that I found to be colourful and inspiring.

But then I started putting in pictures of things I had made.

And ideas for projects.

And then I started doodling/drawing.  Experimenting mainly with colour and pattern.

Oh and I seemed to draw lots of flowers.

I did this one last night.  The inspiration was the patterns on vintage sheets.  Still deciding whether to get out the pencils and do some colouring in.

And my little one added in his artistic expression too.

Anyway I don't profess to be a wonderful artist or anything like that.  But I find this book enjoyable and fun and I keep adding to it whenever inspiration strikes so I guess it is a kind of journal.  

IN THE DYE POT.............

I started a new job at the beginning of this year.  One that gives me the school holidays off YAY!!!!  So this meant I was able to spend a little bit of time dyeing some muslin play cloths that I had hemmed for the children I work with (and some thrifted crocheted doilies that I have been collecting).

The witches cauldron.............

Hanging cherrily on the line to dry........................ 

SO MANY BABIES SO LITTLE TIME.......

I am trying to get a blanket finished for a baby girl who is due to arrive some time in May.  Wish me luck!
