A new idea!

I am having a go at making some greeting cards from scraps of material. This was my first attempt need to get the camera out and take some pics of my latest creations!

Jasmine is coming again tomorrow to stay so I'm going to be kept busy!

New Sofa.

The new sofa has arrived, Im very pleased with it. Very comfy and very long, nice!

Another baby blanket.

My nephews baby boy has been diagnosed with a complex heart condition and has had his first operation. While he was in hospital, one of the blankets I made for him got lost in the laundry. So, I set to and made this little rug. It was quite tedious sewing all of the ends in but it was worth it, I hope his Mammy likes it!

I have eventually got rid of my old leather chesterfield suite. It has lasted well as I had it for 20years and was reluctant to let it go. However, I felt that the room needed something bright and fresh. So I have ordered a nice big four seater lime green sofa. Today I went back to the place I bought my other rugs from and saw this lovely rug.

I didn't take me long to make my mind up, just waiting for the sofa now. Impatiently!!

Cheerful crochet.

I have started this blanket from a crochet book I got for my birthday. I'm using different colours than the book shows but think it will be quite cheerful when finished. There will be millions of ends to sew in so I thinks its going to take some time to complete.

A couple o years ago I got this "memory box" from a friend for my birthday. I really couldn't think of what I wanted to do with it. So the other day when I was looking through my tins of buttons etc I pulled out a few old things. I have made a start, I'm going to try and collect some old sewing items and display them in the box. I am now on the lookout for more junk as some would say!

Crochet Blankets.

In the winter months I enjoy doing a bit of crocheting. These are a couple of rugs I did for my Nephews baby boy.
