Pincushion & Pouch

After having a really nice day yesterday, Spring has returned today bringing sunshine, wind and rain. sometimes all at once!! Though it was a perfect opportunity to finish Pattie Pincushion.

Mr Bunny was created a couple of years ago...the Ipod Pouch I put together on the weekend. Miss J is pleased to have something to cart her Ipod in.

EBCC - September Challenge

Our challenge this month was to create something using nature as our inspiration.

My inspiration is 'Spring'. Yellow for the Daffodils and Freesias, my Camellia which hasn't flowered for ages is pink and green for all the new leaves appearing on our fruit trees!!

A little bit of  lace and a spot of quilting......

 and the table runner is finished! (Will try and get a better pic as the weather improves).

The Art of Crochet

Yesterday I purchased my first copy of 'The Art of Crochet'. I found it an excellent resource & it would be great for a beginner with concise & easy to follow instructions.

I couldn't wait to start & completed my first block of the vintage style rug. Is anyone else out there going to do the rug?

Crochet

I've been bitten by the crochet bug recently & have started this chevron stitch rug. It's nice to have something on the go that doesn't require any prior setting up.

EBCC - Personal Gifts

August is coming to an abrupt end and I've only a couple of scarves & some tissue covers to add to my tally. Where did time time go?

Cheers.....Jane.
