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.




STS Shop Goods: Part II

Two pairs of earrings and some stitch markers! I've gotta get back to crafting!





STS Shop Goods: Part I

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!

Wee Things and What Nots...

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.



Berries!

Fresh from the garden!



















Washed and ready to eat!

It's Like Magic...

Yes, I bought myself one of those yarn baller contraptions :D

Spun!

Well, I finally got around to spinning the yummy Atlantic Batt (mixes fibers) I claimed from a fellow swapper! Love the colours!


Crocheted Flower Scarf

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!


Books To Inspire Me?

Lately, I've been in a funk of sorts. Hopefully, I'll get inspired to craft...soon.





Bunch of Burpies...

More burpies for my niece.

Birdie Wallet

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.

Bunch Of Birdies...

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?

Knitting WIP...

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!


Zippers and Fabric

I'm destashing! I'm destashing!!

Dyeing Experiments IV

A couple more hanks of dyed roving...made for the STS swap. The first one is a wool/silk blend, while the second is a polypay wool!

Chocolate Cherry


Strawberry Taffy
