  • Monday: made a set of bunting for my friend's garden out of a yard of pvc type fabric, with enough left over to make another set.

    I have finished another note book. Not exactly earth shattering but it’s a tiny amount of progress.

    I have a four day weekend coming up and want to make myself some plans of what I can realistically achieve so I feel like I’ve done stuff as well as relaxed.

    I hope you’ve all been having fun 🦄

  • Thursday: two more sets of bunting and a fabric gift bag to put one set in (it was a birthday present). So three more to add to my total.

  • Not been on for a while, I realised, but am in the process of making a pair of short culottes for the holiday. Was hoping for 2, also a dress and a jacket, but as it's in 2 weeks I think I may have been over-optimistic...

  • Yay, today I made something for the first time in a very busy, non-productive week. Finished some bunting for a friend's grandaughter and got that in the post.

    So far today I’ve sewn a button back on a dress. I thought I’d lost button when I moved house recently I was so glad I found it.

    I’ve also sanded the other two tables form a neat set.

    I’ve not exactly been busy but I’m pleased I’ve done something.

  • Well, I've managed to sew 1 pair of culottes and a simple elastic-waisted skirt. All out of stuff I had already.

    I bought a Christmas cross stitch card yesterday, but I did sew it all yesterday. I just need to sew on some stars on the tops of the trees and stitch some garlands on as straight stitch.

    I haven't managed much more of the quilt but it's getting there. I also bought the Peter rabbit quilting mag for the first 3 issues, but I will cancel it as it's blooming pricey! And then I will use up what I've got and not buy anymore (ive earmarked some bits for the extra projects in the mags)

    I’ve finished off the painting of the nest of tables. They’re currently drying in the kitchen and can be put away tomorrow. They may technically be small but they’ve taken an age.

    Other then that it’s been a craft free weekend. I’ve still managed to have a good one though. ����
