A New Skill

 I've always wanted to know how make crochet flowers and now thanks to YouTube I can. The red flower was made following the instructions to the letter, the green one is my adaptation. It's got an extra petal and I think it's much nicer.

I bet if I looked I could find a video for sock making. I tried to make some a while ago and I managed one sock but when it came to the other half of the pair and I got to the bit where you turn the heel I couldn't remember how I'd done it so they went in the bin. So I'm very tempted to look and have a go.

I've done a few more pages in my sketchbook . This one is my favourite at the moment.

I'm not sure that there will be much creativity this week due to a lack of time. We are very busy in the shop this week and Anthony is moving out. Baby is due in 5 weeks or thereabouts so they want to get all comfy and settled before their peace and quiet is shattered. They have got their house looking lovely and Anthony has done a fantstic job of the renovation, he has fitted a lovely kitchen and bathroom. I wish I had their bathroom - it's huge. Anyway I must go and do some work now.

Baby Stuff And More

This is the little quilt that I've made for the babys crib.

A close up of the cornerstone and you can see just how cute the little birds are.

As for the bumper, all I need to do is hand stitch the binding and make some ties for it. They know it's a girl but wanted something neutral for the crib. Baby is due 22nd September and so far has had two names, the first one been Hope and the current one Ellie. Both nice names but we'll wait and see.
 

On Tuesday I took part in Adult Education Awareness Week at the town hall and whilst I was there this is what I achieved. Not much I know but I was talking to people for some of the time. It's not finished, I don't know what I'm going to do with it but I am going to keep working on it.

But now I am going to make a start on quilting my Wonky Log Cabin.
