I'm back again!
Where have I been and what have I been doing in the last couple of weeks?


Sewing of course, except for the 3 days we were in Sydney visiting the grandchildren.
I have been busy sewing for my Craft Sale which I was planning on having in June, but the date I chose is no longer available so my next sale has been put off until July!.  Where is this year flying to.



Here is a pic of some the things I have created lately.  The pink bunnies/ blue spot are drink bottle holders (a new design for me) and matching snackpack.  Also in there is a nappy satchel too for holding wipes and disposable nappies in your handbag.  The green with hedgehogs are more nappy satchels with matching bib.

The crochet head wraps to keep ears warm in the cold weather are a new thing too.  I have made heaps and already given some away.  I am still crocheting baby beanies with the flower on the side and have made a couple of boy ones without the flower.  Must do more boy ones with ears and bear snout.

The bag and matching purse are for my cousins wife, Karen in Alaska.  Julie bought the fabric and handles and asked me to make the bag as a thankyou gift for when we stay with her and Ray in Fairbanks.

And here are some recent photos of the grandchildren taken last week.

  1. Oh I didn't know it's been put off till July! That should still be cool for us - just let me know the date so I don't book our trip to the snow for the same weekend.

    I LOVE the fox fabric! Sooooo cute!

    I so love my head wrap. You know how many compliments I got when I rocked up at work in it on a cold morning! I haven't worn it since then cos it's been warm again! I received your wrap for David's girlfriend but haven't been to work since I got it. I'm sure she'll love it.

    The Aussie fabric bag and purse are excellent hostess gifts!

    There are no photos of grandchildren. :(

    3. I live in the United States. I don't have a blog but have thought about starting one if my daughter can help me figure out some of the details one of these days. I really enjoy reading your blog. I like to sew and I enjoy seeing the things you are making. Have a nice day.

  4. I LOVE that hedgehog fabric, it's just gorgeous! I think I bought some too. Great bag as a thank you gift! I'm sure she'll love it. Can't believe you go at the end of the week. It's come around so soon!
    Hope you're taking an ear warmer for yourself!
