Christmas crafts

lilysunshine — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:41:49 +0000

Yes, I’ve said the C-word. Well, it’s almost November, Halloween is almost a thing of the past, so clearly, it’s time to get cracking with the Christmas crafts.

I have started already, with an advent calendar that is almost done – big reveal and tutorial later this week, maybe just before the weekend? We’ll see. . . . → Read More: Christmas crafts

Feeling Craftmassy

Christmas is looming and I am getting quite excited about it! I love Christmas. I love that its cheeriness makes your forget the dreadful winter weather, the cold and the almost endless nights. I love that it allows you to indulge in every thing you like, be it food, chocolate, cheesy movies or crafts. I . . . → Read More: Feeling Craftmassy

Quilt Along – week 3

This week has been pretty busy here, with the launch of the Little Fabric Store’s website, Lucas deciding that naps are for weaklings and all, but I’ve managed to sneak in some crafty. Just enough to make the 2 latest blocks of the Sampler QAL.

I decided to re-use the same fabrics as the . . . → Read More: Quilt Along – week 3

Spring to Finish!

You might have noticed in my sidebar the ‘Spring to Finish’ button. It is an ‘event’ organised by Jacquie at Tallgrass Prairie Studio where the participants are trying to finish projects they want/need to finish, whatever they are. If you want more information about this even, please read Jacquie’s post about it

Squee! #3

The postman (well, postWOman, I should say) has been very kind to me last week. It was like she had something for me every day! I LOVE receiving mail, even bills, because it gives me a certain sense of existence, if that makes any sense at all? But I love it even more when it . . . → Read More: Squee! #3

Squee! #2

Last Thursday, I received my beginner’s quilting pack that I had bought a couple of days before from Ebay. I was pleased by how fast it arrived. I did wait all day long before starting to play with it, as I didn’t want to rush into it and make silly mistakes.

The lovely fabrics . . . → Read More: Squee! #2

The plunge

I have finished the Madli! I will blog about it later, once it’s washed and blocked. But I’m pretty pleased with it, it looks very nice! I rushed it, because I have some other projects coming in and I wanted to focus on them. I still have another Madli to make for my mother and . . . → Read More: The plunge

Daydreaming…

There is nothing I like more sometimes than some peace and quiet. I have been thinking about that, lately, since our upstairs neighbour has been back. He is not noisy enough to call the noise team per se, but he is loud enough to sprout killing thoughts in my mind, from time to time, especially . . . → Read More: Daydreaming…

Updating…

I’ve been silent the last few days, because I have been busy knitting. During the last week, I got slightly annoyed by the fact that my knitting projects weren’t progressing as fast as they should. I thought about it for a few minutes, then realised that I was spending most of my free time browsing . . . → Read More: Updating…

Baby blanket

lilysunshine — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:34:12 +0000

When I found out I was expecting our first child, I suddenly felt like I needed to ‘make things’ again. That is the way it is in my family: when you are expanding your family, you create stuff for the new addition, be it blankets, jackets, pants etc. And mostly knitted stuff.

So, when the . . . → Read More: Baby blanket
