Weekend Sewing

On the weekend I did a little bit more sewing to add to my 'Market Day' box.

Hard to tell in pic but the coasters are bigger than normal.

Now inside as it's raining on & off today....a couple of table runners.


It's always a bit hit & miss sewing for markets, but I figure if I sew what I like I can use it if I don't sell it!
Sweet stitching all...Jane.

Colourful Friday - Brown

We have quite a bit of brown zipping about our place at times....meet Dusty, our Cocker/Springer Spaniel cross.

A little bit of brown in a scarf & some in a tassel.


This little phone pouch I whipped up this morning and you can find the tutorial here.

The spotty cat was a gift from Santa when I was little.
For some more pics pop over to Bev's.
Happy Colourful Friday!!

Colourful Friday - Lavender


A little lavender colour in the garden.

Some lavender in sewing.

And that crochet hook is a dream to use....with some thick wool you can crochet a scarf in no time!!
For some more colour pop over to Bev's our host whilst Robyn is away (thanks Bev!!).
Happy 'Colourful Friday'...........Jane.

Weekend Sewing

I can safely say that this is for Mums Birthday tomorrow, as she doesn't have a computer :-)


My ironing board cover has seen better days...

So I got busy yesterday and made a new one.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Colourful Friday - Halloween

The following is my attempt to turn everyday items into an eclectic mix of 'Halloween Colour' via a short verse.

Suspicion and shadows....

the dark and the light......

a little black magic......

Colourful Friday

I've decided today that I would join in on Robyn's Colourful Fridays. The above is a bridesmaids dress I made and wore when my sister was married.

The crochet blanket in this lot of pics is my first effort at crochet some years ago!

A few of hubby's conduit and cables.


The flower in the centre of the pic is s a variety of Leucospermum...relative of the South African Protea. It does well here on the coast, surviving summers without water and attracts not only birds & bees!!
For some more colour visit Robyn.
Have a great weekend all......Jane.
