A couple knitting finishes

 It's a good thing I houseclean the basket I keep beside my living room chair once in awhile because I unearthed a partially completed scarf that's probably been sitting there for nearly two years.  Oh dear.  I can call it done now after several evenings of knitting.  Then I decided I needed to 'do something' with the drawer where I keep my worsted-weight 'bits' and decided I could make another hat which will be going to the donation box.  

- THIS is a rather pretty pattern that would be great for scrap yarns.

- And THIS one too!

- HERE is a fun little project you might like to try.

- HERE is another fun project that looks pretty easy to make.

Just a little closeup

 Here is a small section of the latest landscape with hand embroidery added...

- I know THIS is a tad late for Easter perhaps, but still would be really cute for spring.

- THIS is a little different take on a makeup (or anything) bag.

- Our family likes felted slippers so perhaps I'll give THIS version a try.

- THIS is something I found awww-worthy.

An oops and progress

 I've been working on the latest in my little landscape series and the eagle-eyed among you will maybe notice that his shirt colour has changed.  The first version blended in too much with the water.  That was a minor oops but a bigger one happened when I added the organza over the water area and the iron touched it when I was fusing the 'new' shirt and....horrors....melted it.  That's the first time that has ever happened and I've used the same process before.  I rather wonder if my iron is wearing out.  At any rate, I appliqued a bit more of the organza on top of the offending area and will end up embroidering plants over top to blend it in.  Gives me an excuse to do more embroidery!

- I never would have thought of doing THIS with quilts!

- Have a peek at the amazing creations of THIS incredible artist.

- There's a lot of links HERE to some crochet summer tops,  some of which are really nice.

- Of course you know I enjoyed seeing some of THESE!

- Pour yourself a cuppa and go through the galleries of THIS incredible artist!  Be sure to check out her wearables too.

Today's quote isn't a quote per se, but something I wanted to share...

Happy Easter!

 

- HERE is something you might like to try.

- THIS is a cute wee project that could serve all sorts of uses.

- And HERE is another little project that wouldn't take much time.

- THESE are a little bit awww-worthy.

Today's quote is from Basil C. Hume..."The great gift of Easter is hope"

It appears...

 Yes, it appears that I'm doing a series of 'Him and Me' landscapes with this being the start of the second one...

- There is lots of inspiration HERE!

- Dandelion season is coming, so HERE is something you might like to try.

- HERE is another fun-looking project.

Today's quote...

Stash reduction

 I wanted to test out a new way (at least new to me!) of joining two colours of yarn and scrounged through my stash to find some part-balls that would work together.  This hat is the result and I know I'll be using that method of joining again.  If you'd like to try it for yourself, here's what I did....on the row where you want to change colours, work 1 knit stitch in one colour and 1 knit stitch  in the other across the row.  I suspect working 2 knit stitches would work just as well.

- I may have provided a link to THIS process before but if I did it was a long time ago and perhaps there are some new readers that might find it useful to know.

- FINALLY a good use for AI!!!  Go HERE to see what I'm mumbling about!

- THIS looks like such fun to make!

- First go and read about THIS amazing artist and then visit his gallery of work HERE.

- There is tons of inspiration HERE!!!

- oooooh - I want some of THESE!!!!

Today's quote...

Yay!

 One dress - done and dusted!

And....
The Resident Chef appeared in my
sewing room to show me this...

This is a pie-sized butter tart,

due to be gifted to our friend 

(who loves the RC's butter tarts)

when we see him tomorrow.

Wonder if he'll eat it all at one sitting?

- Have a peek through the galleries of THIS artist!

- THESE are so pretty and use simple ingredients to create.

- There are lots of free patterns to choose from HERE.

- THIS would be a fun project.
