Holidays Means More Crafting

Last weekend was Easter weekend and for the first time in a few years I didn't have to

work it.  My industry is 24/7 and we have to work 3 holidays a year. I was glad to have

this one off finally. I got quite a bit of sewing done.

I used up some left over scraps and made a small baby quilt pad.  Changing pad if you 

like.  My hubby gave it to his co-worker who just had a baby.

I finished up a bag I had started.  The outside is crocheted and I sewn the lining to fit, 

added the zip and assembled it to the crochet outer piece.  Now I just have to decide 

and get the handles to suit.

Looking back on these photos I had started the crochet stripe back in May 2015.

Wow time flies.

And I finished this panel, quilted and ready to hang. 

I also made this pixie cup I saved the pattern for a while back. 

Mostly to hold my sewing stuffs on my bench.

And this weekend I found this musical note fabric, a co-worker plays in a band

so I made up this box pouch for her.

Despite now tennis elbow pain for weeks, I still find it hard to give up

any crafting. First it was tendinitis in my left shoulder now it's in right

elbow.  I've been going to physio for a few months now.  Just getting older I guess.

Happy Weekend all!!

Spring is in the air

Slowly but surely my aches and pains have been alleviating a bit enough to work on 

some crochet.  I pulled out this #c2c corner to corner project started a while ago.

I did manage to finish another row. 

Another birthday came and went, getting closer and closer to the 50 mark. 

It still amazes me that I'm in my 40's now being quite young at heart still

or as hubby calls me a big kid.  That's ok, it's better to be that way in my opinion.

We had the day off and I found a quilt shop in our area so I had to check it out.

I restrained myself and only bought what I needed at the time, some quilting interfacing.

I am making a small quilt for hanging from a panel I had gotten a while back.  It's pinned 

and ready to baste then quilt.

I finished my bike basket liner and managed my first right of the year this week. 

We've had a few days with near 60 degree weather.  It seems the cold winter air has 

lingered too long this  year.

I made some sewn eggs for Easter.  

I made this little patchwork pouch for my Etsy shop.  

I subscribed to this sew sampler box from @fatquartershop on Instagram. 

I made the pouch from the Moda fabric that came in this box.

It contained roll of moda fabric, silicon iron pad, some great scissors, 

spool huggers and some patterns. 

Well happy Sunday!
