Pondering a new project and knitting in the evenings

 


For some reason the past few days have been spent pondering the state of my belly button instead of actually doing anything constructive.  I'm toying with seeing what I might be able to do with this image (once again shared by the very generous Dale Stewart)...

I think  I'm 'seeing' this with a foggy twist.  You'll have to stay tuned to see what I might manage to come up with.

Evenings have been spent knitting and I have the final hat set for the grandies Christmas box off the needles...


- For those of you who chain piece, try THIS!  So brilliant and uses things we already have (scroll down to see what I'm referring to).

- THIS is an interesting bag design.

- You might want to play with THIS technique.

- Have a peek at the incredible creations of THIS artist!  And THIS amazing artist too!!!

Today your quote is from Winston Churchill...."I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do.  Behaviour never lies"

    1. I think it is going to be foggy but have to do some experimenting to see how to make it work overall.

  2. The Churchill quote is so good for these days. The photo will look great in fabric.

    1. Churchill had a lot of great quotes, many of them fitting for the times we're in.

    1. And to you Julierose! Wish I'd thought to pick up some corned beef when we were out this morning.

  4. I'm pondering a new project, too. With actual sewing! Waiting for a specially-ordered screwdriver to arrive so I can dismantle and hopefully reassemble the bobbin case in my Featherweight. Fingers crossed :)

    1. So many people would be envious of your Featherweight. Hopefully the new screwdriver will do what's needed so you can sew. Looking forward to seeing what you make!

    Sherryofcreateology: Oh I do love this photo of Dale’s. It would be fun for me to watercolor it. I need practice in perspectives! Fancy little pink set for Christmas. These artists you have shared are super talented. ANOTHER GREAT QUOTE!

    1. Dale is an amazing photographer and I'm so lucky that he allows me to use his photos as inspiration.
      Must say that I'm happy that I can finally make a few things in pink - at least until she's old enough to let me know what her favourite colour is.
