IS IT REALLY WEDNESDAY AGAIN

Ok WIP Wednesday.

Well for all of my followers - you will possibly have worked out taht I can't just work on ONE thing at a time.

Sometimes I wish I could - I know that it would take alot of stress out of Tim's life with not having craft all over the house (apparently I have it in every room of the house!)

So this is what I am going to do - I am having a break from blogging for a week - this should give me time to get some of the things that I want to get done completed. To make a start I am making myself a few lists - So here goes - Hopefully I will be able to get some of them crossed off of the list soon (and some WIP's completed)

Get wool so I can finish Amelia's Jumper

Pull out jumper for me that has been shoved somewhere since June 2004!

Make something for MIL for her birthday

Make Amelia some new pj's - she has sprouted legs in the last few weeks

Make something for friends new baby - come on kid - you are cooked - show us your face!

Embroider cherrys on jumper for Amelia

Clean house

Spend time with Dh and DD on the long weekend!

Sort out wool piles and sort into projects

Get mothers day gifts finished and sent off - I know I am a BAD daughter - but it is the thought that counts (right?)

Ok - I think that is enough for one week - wish me luck - have a great week and I will be back with lots of pictures and to update you all soon - I promise

A FOGGY MORNING AND TWO LITTLE BEANIES

Look at what I woke up to this morning! FOG

And here is a picture of two little beanies completed and ready to send off to there new owner! How warm and cuddly do they look. If you are interested in a set to keep your little ones heads warm please contact me.

World Environment Day

Today the 5th of June is World Environment Day. Saving water - it has become my past time for the past 6 months - I save all of our washing water and we bath in a bucket (it is a very big one) and then I bucket this all out on the lawn and the plants around the house. A little different to this time last year when we were in Darwin and I could turn the tap on at what ever time I liked.

And a little trivia for you all today - did you know that at 12.34pm the time, date, month and year lined up to read 1234567, that will not happen for another 100 years so I will not see it again!

Knitted Beanies

Just thought that I would show you what I am working on at the moment! These are for an order - Alison I hope that this is what you were after.

I have managed to cable - why have I boycotted it for so long - it is lovely and not that hard at all - I am in love with these. The one almost completed will be have tassles on it! To cute for words and I can not wait to see pics of her 10month old in them!

The wool is Cleckheaton, Angora Supreme. It is a blend of 70% Lambs Wool and 30% Angora. I think that I could wear a jumper in it!

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons

I am pleased to report that Amelia's little pinni is complete - Yes I have finally managed to put buttons holes on it. Now buttons holes are not that hard - well usually - but would you believe that it took four machines before I could do it. Mine is playing up, two friends did not want to play the game and then Jodi came to the rescue - and I was able to do it in a flash (Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!)

And a few of Amelia wearing her new dress!

Grandma's been sewing!

I thought that I would post a few pictures of bits and pieces that arrived from Granma the other day (AKA: My mother and Amelia's Grandma - or JO)

She made me a bag out of Pet Mesh. Yes you read correctly! Did you know that it comes in funky olours, I could just imagine what Tim would say if I bought it to put on the screen doors! The patterns are called screen play and there is a pattern available for a zippered version here.
( You would never guess that I have a thing with zips at the moment). And Punch by Judy has a range of colours - will see if I can find the shop online that Mum got hers from cause she had them in all colours of the rainbow.
And Amelia recieved an apron - although very big I love the material. Thanks Grandma.

One Little Zipper in a Dress!Well I did it! I managed to put a zipper in a dress and I think that it passes and will be wearable - I am so excited.

Now only the buttonholes to do! My machine needs to go to the Dr's and is not playing the game with me at the moment! (NOTE TO SELF - take it to sewing machine Doctor!)

(Sorry about the picture being so dark - it is raining here today)
