A Long Forgotten Hobby



It has been over 3 months since I've picked up and finished a new book.  How could I have 'forgotten' to read?!  This is a quaint little number about a little village vicar who discovers a terrible secret... *drumroll*.    Have you read any great books lately?  I need to make a little 'to-read' pile!!

Also, this month, I am imposing an ebay and amazon ban upon myself.  I think I have a shopping problem.  But look at the teeny tiny cute owl dish!!!  Coooote.

The GORGEOUS fluff in the top picture is from Fondant FIbre, silky nommyness.  Would it be too much to ply the green and purple together?  Probably.  Maybe a nice grey jacob...


Rather excited for tomorrow becauuuuse... I'm off to visit Old Maiden Aunt's workshop with Lauren!  Considered taking the picnic basket but thought that was probably a little bit over the top.  I shall still take the contents though.  Train picnic!!!

Old Maiden Aunt has such amazingly glorious yarn I am never going to want to leave.  Apparently she has a woofy dog, so I'll come home smelling of sheep and dog and the guinea pig won't be very fond of me at all.

I've had a very productive couple of days off - my flat is now finally unpacked!  It only took 7 weeks...  You can now officially come to stay, because the second bedroom is no longer a tip and is now a proper room.  Bedclothes and all.

Anyhoo.  I am going to bed.  It is 2 am, and I seem to have developed a habit of not sleeping until far too late then sleeping through 16gazillion alarms.  Never fear, I've figured out a cunning plan;  I've set my phone alarm (thrice), the bedside alarm, the telly alarm in the living  room, and the PC alarm in the second bedroom.  So if I don't wake up for that lot on my own, I'm sure the police will wake me once the neighbours make a noise complaint.

Carried Away With The Zippie Baggies

After showing you how to make those cute zippy pouches in the last post, I couldn't help but make some more!

Had a lovely day - I was up with the sun at 5.30am this morning, and studied my little head off so I could play with the fabric stash all afternoon :p

There are baggies in the shop now :D

Have you got any ideas for baggie themes you'd like to see?  Any favourite animals?  Drop me a wee comment!

DIY: Rectangle Zippy Pouch for Wooly stuff or Gadgety things!

I do love owls and I cannot lie, you other knitters can't deny, when a pouch sits there with some owls on its front and some stars inside its ... Insides...

My point is; how cute is this?!



Recently, I was asked by Rae of Fabric HQ to make a little tutorial and answer some of her lovely questions!   They have some really nice fabric (I may have to make another little entry on the 'stash shame' board...)

You can find my answers and my tutorial here on Rae's blog!

Let me know what you think!  I might be popping a few into the shop this weekend :p
Have you made any project bags recently?  What's you're favourite type?
