A quick project - inspired by the lovely Plum I decided to make a tray liner! the red and white match my favourite mug (thank you Jackie) and the biscuit tin!
And husband helped me make a thread storage shelf for the embroidery threads - the 1000m spools fit nicely into a plastic draw in the Ikea Trofast units that make up most of the sewing room
But the 5000m spools are too big to really fit on the spikes, and generally don't behave
I met with a friend in the garden - I had finally finished the felt OLIVER for her grandson, and the felt animals needs to be positioned so I could hand stitch them on. It was lovely to catch up and nice to have some hand sewing to do
Lisa sent Jackie and I this pic of her blocked crochet - don't they look fab!!!! I think my blanket will be much harder to do!
With no crochet of my own to do, I thought I'd have a go at fingerless gloves! Problem number 1 is that I can't cast on - my crochet is too tight! So I used a huge hook and created three chains and forced the hook back into them to cast on three stitches . . . then turned the whole lot through 90 degrees and started adding rows of trebles, three at a time, until I had a band that was long enough.
In other news, I finally finished this for a customer, just need to add a name
And there is a Ginger ready for St George's day next week
Apart from that the sewing room is an absolute tip, I've eaten too much, and I'm fed up with looking at this computer screen so I'm going to go and sit in the sunshine for a bit! Hope everything is Ok in your corner of the world
