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!

Time Flies....When You're Crafting

So last week I finished a few things I had been working on.  Above, the knitted chunky cowl that I listed on my Etsy. 

I also finished one of two owl stuffy orders.  I should finish the other this weekend.

And with the yummy yarn I got a few weeks back, I started a knitted hat for my honey.  I will also be using a darker a lighter colour in this hat.  I was going to try a cable knit hat but I couldn't find the right pattern. And when I did, it was to knit in the round and I had already started the ribbing edge. I was just going to knit then sew up after. I didn't want to take it apart as the ribbing process is boring enough for me to have to do it again. 

I finished the other Earphone pouch last weekend and delivered to the new owners.  Hopefully these youngins will show their friends and request more.

I made a trip to the fabric store today to see what holiday goodies they had in and above is what I got. I found those cute scissors that look like a bird for 1/2 the price. I fell in love with this snowman fabric.   Now to pick a project for it.

More lovely holiday fabric.

I also got these panels from Ebay.  They will make an adorable wall hanging.

And for last weeks nature walk.....

There is a few areas where these cute chickadee's land right in your hand.

Yes, I'm starting to be one of THOSE people, the bird watcher.  

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!

Happy Yarn Day

Yesterday was International I Love Yarn Day.  It would be nice if such days fell on a weekend to really be able to enjoy yarny things.  

This is my morning crafty scene.  Cup of Joe via Hello Kitty mug. A new project underway.  Clearly Christmas themed. 

Received a gorgeous pack of fabric this week from E-bay. I am becoming a fabric junky too.  Now the next step is to get making things with them.

My honey was eyeing a mug online that he had as a kid. Vintage Yogi Bear cup.

I found one on E-bay and put a bid in and I got it.  It's a bit pricey for an old mug but you pay for nostalgia I guess.

Not in perfect shape but better than another one I found online. 

I hope he likes it. 

It's getting cooler and I got out my ripple blanket I finished last year.

I love it, makes me want to make another. LOL

And for those fellow Canadians, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

It is on Monday for us. I volunteered to work it. 

Honey and I were invited out to my aunts for dinner today.  Yum

Crafty Chaos

Oh how I wish one could go to Yarndale.  Seems like an amazing event going on this weekend in the UK.  We need something like that here. 

Anyway, this is my circular ripple progress for this week. 

My work table.  I got a yarn ball winder from Etsy this week.  So nice to make those messy bits and skeins into a neat tidy yarn cake. 

Hexie progress.  Now I am starting to make some plain white to go in between.

And a new fat quarter from E-bay this week.  Perfect to make squares as it's already blended with different patterns.

I had a day off in the middle of the week and stopped in at a county nursery/gift shop.  They are all decked out for fall. 

I got a pumpkin spice candle, a few tiny pumpkins for my window ledge and a fall mum plant. I love fall. 

Happy Weekend everyone!

Bunting Love

The only crochet project I finished recently is my granny bunting.  

Added colour to the Living Room. LOL

I got another fat quarter in the mail this week.  So pretty, I'm not sure what I'll make yet.

Summer has been busy, so I guess I'll do more sewing projects once the colder weather hits.

This and That

I've been working on my roll pillow.  I made two mandala style circular ends for it.  Now I had found a pre-stuffed roll form at the thrift store, however it is a bit short for my ripple I made.   So I will have to sew up another portion to fill the length of my crochet ripple. I do love the look of it thus far. 

I gave my baby baseball hat to my cousins little one.  I think he loves it. LOL

I got some fun new fabrics recently. I am hoping to make some bags, pouches or whatever I can come up with to sew. Maybe for some Christmas gifts etc. 

That's all for now. Happy Weekend all!
