Lately, work has been keeping me on my toes. Still, I managed to do a wee bit of sewing. Here's the pouch that I made for RY's daughter, L. She's a sweet little thing, and I love sewing for her!
In one of my Craftster swaps, I received a bounty of gorgeous carded batts! This weekend, I spun two of them and I can't decide if I need to ply them. Perhaps I should set them aside until I have a clearer picture of the art yarns I'm trying to create.
I've been working on a bunch of tiny projects for the STS swap shop, and now that's it's April, let the trading begin!
Eye Pillows filled with rice and dried French lavender!
Card cases for business cards, debit cards, etc.!
Notepads and mini notecards!
There's more, but I need to take pictures!

One of the benefits of spring cleaning, is finding things you've forgotten you had. I was thrilled to find a complete set of lino tools!!! This week, I've been having a go at things.

My first crochet project that's not an amigurumi! I loved how it turned out! The patten may be found here. This was a fun project, but I think I should stick with knitting!

Made for GF, who very kindly agreed to paint a portrait of S & Q for my sis (which by the way turned out way cool)!!! I love making customised wallets. No patterns, no rules...just a bunch of questions to find out what sort of features needs to be incorporated into the design of the wallet.

So the countdown begins - 7 days left till Christmas Eve. Oy! I'm running low on time and there's still so much to be done before I head home to spend the holidays with my family. Obviously, I've not had much time to craft...but I couldn't resist making these when I saw them on Kiddley!!!

They're pretty, and sorta festive, no?

I don't usually post pictures of my knitting WIPs. Mostly because I'm a monogamous knitter, and also because I tend to work on smallish projects that knit up quickly. Having said that, I've been crafting up a storm lately (sewing and papercrafts) and my knitting is not prgressing as fast as I would like it to *sigh*
Here's my current project, a cherry leaf scarf using a Knit Picks yarn in garnet heather. I hope I finish this in 2007!
