The Saartjes Bootie unveiling.

Well these arrived at there destination today.

How cute are they. Knitted in Moda Vera's - Luxor (100% cotton) And this pattern.
I changed a few things - they were knitted on 4.5mm needles and they came out beautifully. I will definitly be knitting more of these little beauties!

Elizabeth in her little Jumper

Just thought that I would pop a picture of Elizabeth in the little jumper that I knitted her - it looks even better on. And I am so glad that it fits and that she is getting lots of use out of it. She needed it in this lovely weather that we are having at the moment!

Work in Progress Wednesday No?

Ok - I have lost track of how many Wednesdays I have done this for. I know that I have been a little slack of late - sorry!It is a little sad in this house at the moment - as I am a lady without a sewing machine or an overlocker! Very sad indeed. They are both in getting serviced - but the saddest part is we may not be able to get the parts to fix it. Apparently Janome have a 10year hold on there parts and then after that time you are not able to get them. And our machine is 11 years - you would not believe it! I know that I should be happy as it means that I might be getting a new machine - but I was really liking my old one - we are great friends and will be sad to let it go.

Anyway - This is going to be the project that I am working on in the next two or so weeks.

Amelia recieved a Topsey Turvey Cideralla Doll from her Great Granny for Christmas.















Well our niece turns one in a few weeks and have been trying to work out what I could make her. I ended up purchasing a pattern off of Ebay and now just have to get knitting. (think that I will do Mother Hubbard and Little Miss Muffet)

I am also working on a knitted jumper for ME - more about that later.

Knitting in a Strawberry Field

This is one super cute little beanie on its way to Alison her her little one. (the pattern calls them a tomato - but I like the though of knitted strawberries)

The pattern is from here - try it out! And it was knitted in 100% cotton from Spotlight on 4.5mm double pointed needles. Modifation - knit until they measure about 15cm and then add in the green - otherwise you will find it too small and might look like a pimple on a pumpkin IYKWIM!

And I just could not help myself. I also knitted a little pair booties, they are the cutest things some spare wool as I did not have enough for two beanies. Hope you like them Alison. Will post a picture of them when they have arrived - cause they are a surprise!

Look what I found in the Letter Box

Look at this little pack that arrived today from the lovely Glenda - I was so thrilled as I knew that she was sending me one but instead I found four little books in the post. Including the most georgous little smocking outfits (I have already chosen which ones I am going to do for Amelia when the weather gets warmer!) And I will have to practice my smocking skills, I have not smocked since the small sample piece that I did at high school - might be something that I can do while I am without my sewing machines

And I purchased some material off of Helen! She was culling and not that I really needed any more fabric - but how could I resist this Strawberry Shortcake material. It takes me back to my childhood and my Miss Shortcake - I still have her - actually she is sitting here for Amelia.

Blogging Holiday!

Well I have had a weeks holiday from blogging - I had huge plans to get lots done and I did achieve some of them - but I think that my list is always to big.

Amelia Lends a Helping Hand

Just some pictures of my little munchkin! She is becoming a very good little helper of late and thought that I would share some photos of her.Helping Dad line Eme's kennel

In the kitchen cooking up a storm

And a little girl who should be in bed - but instead has a new found love of flanell! If she gives it back to me it will become a new pair of pj pants.
