From The Craft Room

I have a busy crafting period planned, with two new babies and Christmas gifts to work on.  A enjoyable pace of crafting to enjoy. In the short term I have a dress to alter in preparation for a black tie event I am attending with my dear husband next week.

 

 

The strange light is not doing it justice, it is a beautiful shade of green in a soft velvet and is far more elegant on than it looks on the wardrobe.

 

I have another pair of jeans to alter, even though I buy petite as I am only 4' 11" they are still too long.  Another urgent job is a stitch in my husbands favourite cardigan as the buttons are feeling loose.

 

The fabrics are all ready sorted to start a quilt for Wilbur's baby brother, but that is a job for after my holiday.

 

 

I have collected the arran wool from Skegness so that is now ready and bagged for blankets.

 

 

I am working on a crochet granny square blanket for the nursing chair and so far it is looking good and just as I imagined it.  The bright centres are a feast for the eyes and are jewel like amidst the grey and white.  It will be interesting to see it all together.

 

 

The sewing in fairy has not been around, I keep hoping that she will turn up and sew in all the ends.  I regret now not doing it as I go now isn't that always the case.

 

I have also sorted out the yarn for a ripple baby blanket and that is the project I think will be my holiday project.  A 9 hour flight is a long time to sit with no crochet.

 

 

The light once again is not showing the true colour of the yarn it is quite a bright, vibrant turquoise, silver grey and white.  Just need to sort out some holiday reading and I am set.

 

There is still my winter project, going along at snails pace too.  I have decided that I will make sure that I do at least one granny square a day so that there will always be some progress.  Have you got multiple projects or do you work on just one thing at a time?

 

See you soon.
