Couch sitting

Long time no blog, hey peeps! The kiddo and I are bunged up with our very own bugs. She coughed into my face two days ago and now I'm down with her germs. Don't you just love sharing?! Not.


It's nearly noon and here we are slobbing on the couch...still in our jammies.


Haven't the energy to change into something decent, in case some hot, young postman/delivery guy comes ringing at the front door (oh geez, maybe I should at least pull on some jeans), but I seem game enough to take photos, post photos and blog....not to mention knit. He he he!


And here's a finished patchy cushion made from the leftovers of the zigzag couch quilt. I still have no concept of how much to cut when I make the quilts. So I usually end up with a pile of leftovers. Sometimes I make a new unplanned project out of them, but mostly they just languish in the stash.


Lastly, I thought to post a photo of the kiddo test driving the new pinafore I made a few weeks ago. She's worn it three times now since it flew off the sewing machine. She loves it and it looks great with the pale pink turtleneck.


Hokay, time to feed the kiddo methinks. Hope you're all having a good week!

Cheerio!

Catherine wheel scarf

Hello peeps! I gifted away this scarf before I remembered to take the requisite photo.


I crocheted this one last year as a present for a good friend who became a new mummy. Here's my practice swatch. She sent me this pic very recently and now I'm posting it on this 'ere blog to make up for my absence and my lack of active crochet. I've put the crochet granny blanket down for the moment in favour of other quickie projects. I'll pick it up again later.

Anyhow, longer post to follow soon.

Cheerio!

Late afternoon

Since going back to full-time work, I only ever get to spend sewing time on weekends while the kiddo is napping and into the late, late afternoon.


Every now and then, I get a guilty niggle when I'm sewing away and the geezer is waking her up from her nap in the next room. Should I be doing that? Of course, the niggle is forgotten after a moment 'cos I'm in the happy zone again. They didn't need me. All is well.

The blocks for another quilt are all sewed up and squared, waiting for me to lay it out.....next weekend. I love my weekends!

Hope yours was good, too!

Cheerio!
