Here is my updated list. I have been busy this weekend with my bathroom, I know not strictly a craft project but couldn't resist posting a picture


Today I'm planning on watching some more you tube videos. I've discovered I'm much better at crochet projects that work in the round. As soon as I start knitting in rows I end up increasing or decreasing in the ends:( anyway onwards and upwards:D

Also catching up.....
Soulie - great news my lovely,
Ocemeer - lovely cufflinks
Sweetcarer - another gorgeous heart...... am I right in guessing (as a naive newbie!!) That all of your hearts will be put together into a finished piece???

Our building work is a month underway now and I haven't really contributed to any of my makes during that time I keep looking at my knitting bag but ive still got my 3/4 done shawl for aunty in there and I have lost all my oomph to finish it! have spent plenty of time on ravelry and pinterest though looking for new inspiration :rotfl:

They are all going to Sandy Hook families - the hearts are for the teachers who were killed (6). They are making quilts for their families. So each heart will go to a different quilt. I am also planning to do something (a teddy design) for a wee girl who had the same birthday as me, something for the school and something for the hospital. Aiming for end of June or by mid July at very latest to send them off to the USA.

Kind wishes

Hello Everyone

I have now complete my last Sandy Hook adult heart square - this is the red one.



I will take a photograph of the "rainbow" of hearts later - once I have washed and ironed them.

So here is my list - might have to amend it slightly as I have two birth samplers to do. But next I am going to do my wee teddy bear for Sandy Hook - think of just making it one colour - its a pattern I got ages ago - not too sure where from.

1. Calendars - at least 2 (one for me & one for my former MinL) - complete 12/01/2013
2. AOY charity squares - letter O x 2 - complete 27/01/2013
3. Sandy Hook adult quilt squares x 6 (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange & red) - complete 16/06/2013
4. Sandy Hook wee girl quilt square x 1
5. Sandy Hook quilt squares for school and hospital x 2
6. Snow drop memorial stitches for my mum and her sisters x 4 - complete 10/02/13
7. Purple Work part 2 - complete 31/3/13
8. Helen Phillips - Winter (from CSC)
9. Helen Phillips - Spring (from CSC)
10. Helen Phillips - Summer (from CSC)
11. Helen Phillips - Autumn (from CSC)
12. Blue Sampler (from Work) at least one part
13. Maybe even start but definitely not finish Blackwork of the British Isles (it is 1m x 1.5m).

Keep well everyone till next time.
