A Lazy Day!!!!

Well I haven't posted in a while - I have been meaning to, but things have just got in the way and then another day has passed!

We had our first viewing last week after a couple of time wasters.  It went really well and they really liked the house but not the electric pylon nearby so still no movement.

I have also made some progress on those dreaded unfinished projects that I hide behind the sofa!  I have managed to finish the scarf, mug cozy and ribbon blanket so feeling quite pleased with myself.

I had the day off today and had lots of good intentions - I planned on doing some cleaning, crafting and others bits and bobs - but you know what, I started reading a book by M.C Beaton- As the pig turns, and that was most of the morning gone! 

I did do some crafting this afternoon and spent an hour making some lovely easter gifts ready for my table at the craft fair.

What do you think????  I could only seem to find a bunny one that was knitted, have never used circular needles before and am totally clueless about making stitches in the front and back!!!!! So I made my own pattern and this is how it turned out.  Have already got a list of people that would like some so might be busy for the next couple of days.

I also managed to make another ribbon blankie, this time using this wonderful fabric which I love!

I hope everyone is well and busy with their own projects; I would love to know what people are currently working on.

Ah distractions

My last blog mentioned all my unfinished projects  - which between you and me I tend to put in a carrier bag and hide behind the sofa, out of sight, out of mind!!!!! 

This to be honest doesn't really work - I know they are there, just waiting for me to finish them - I know that I have a scarf, a chunky ripple, a blankie with no bunny head, a half done mug cozy, a dino taggie and another ripple for a new baby (my friend still has 20 wk to go) and thats just the things I have started, not the things that I want to do.

I also decided that I needed to have a look in my diary as I am hoping to have a stall at a local art exhibition before Easter.  Last time I checked I had 11 weeks to craft, crochet and sew!!!! Lots of time I told myself!!!!  Yeah right,  now its 6 weeks - (Aaargh - I panic and have to check again whilst running round the room like a headless chicken seeing what I've already completed).

Just to take my mind of it I had a little peep at pinterest - wow how fab but totally addictive.  I found lots of new ideas and one popped out from ohcrafts.net, I could not resist having a little go -

add some cotton and buttons and voila some recycled mini heart bunting perfect for adding a splash of "cuteness"

I couldn't stop once I started and made some that were just pinks and reds and some that had a number of buttons.  Once again I had become sidetracked and my WIP (think thats work in progress) still lives behind the sofa.   I must! I must! tackle at least one of these this week - will let you know how it goes!   Hope you have a productive week, I would love to know what you are planning to do x x x

Ahhh just remembered I have done something towards my WIP - I had a trip to Keighley to get some wool for my chunky ripple as I had run out!!!!!! There I knew I had done something; not that I have unwrapped this yet but instead have shoved it in the pantry cupboard!!!!!

Last weeks craftiness

I started this post early last week but was struggling to upload the pictures so gave up (very easily I must admit).  Thought that it would still be nice to post though and show you what I have been up to on the past few rainy days

Have finally had some time to myself this week and put it to good use! 

Hubby had some time off work and looked after the kiddiewinks so that I could busy myself with lots of crafting and here's what happened -

Once I started I just couldn't stop!!!!

I ended up making 4 altogether and was very happy with the results.  I have so many projects on the go that I am ending up with lots of things that are unfinished - this I struggle to deal with as I like everything to be organised and tidy. 

My aim for the coming week will be to get organised and finished some of these projects.  What's your plan for the week and what do you do with your unfinished things??????
