  • Hello everyone! I've been quiet lately because I've been trying to get through my first trimester of pregnancy! First baby, and it's been kicking my butt. Hopefully I will get my mojo back soon (13 weeks now) and I can get going on a blanket and other bits and bobs!

     i made a cat shaped cat scratching post with an off cut of wood and rope. Also restored an old picture frame and added pressed flowers from my garden. The frame took hours but it is very effective. I remember my Mum making pressed flower pictures in the 70's. Time for a revival! Counting these 2 items as they use up stash and I am interested in how many things I make in a year.

    I've made another 3 cards and finished off 2, taking me to 17/75. I've also done some more work on the shirt I am gifting for a friends baby. Annoyingly, it isn't as good as the practice one I did out of an old muslin cloth 🤦‍♀️. I ironed and glued a hem on a t shirt from the to sew pile.

  • 1 more thing made - finally finished the double-bed-sized crochet blanket I've been working on for months. 
    Looks quite professional, if I do say so myself.

    Oooo wraithlady can we have a pic? Sounds lovely.
     Yet another baby hat. Still enjoying mindlessly knitting and using up plenty of wool.
    Cat house made from pallets and offcuts of wood which have been in the kitchen for weeks, needs painting and roofing felt putting on.
     Pressed flower pic up on the wall in the bedroom.
