I forgot to 'publish' my indepth brag about the swaps l am doing on Ravelry. Bugger!
Rehash with photos to follow.
Bag swap, finished though l'm not sure if its good enough..
Yellow swap, finished, love it and am holding off even wrapping the goodies because l like looking at them.
Cloth swap, almost finished, forgot about it until last night when l panicked and knit like a madwoman until midnight.
Other crafty things l'm working on.
Blankets for bushfire victims, squares have been donated and need to be stitched together. I had almost finished stitching one blanket and decided it looked nasty. Started over and am crocheting around the squares in black and will join them with Tunisian crochet... another thing to learn!
Making bags for the swaps l was inspierd to make a few for me, and conned into making a few for the girls. "Mummy, you can sew!" Not only bags were on their list of requests, they found mending that l never knew existed.
I'd like to get a sewing cabinet so l can sew more often. Good excuse to regularly visit local op shops.
My garden is getting greener, shrubs that looked dead are very much alive. A lot of the gardens that were here when we moved in are about to undergo drastic make overs. A lot will be stripped and l'll grow native ground covers. I have an aversion to bushy shrubs close to the house.. even though the little wrens hang out in them. Hoping the birds will still be able to score a feed amongst the groundcovers.
Also going to put veggies in some beds that l'm clearing. I want to grow a lot more berries and tomotoes. Blueberries and strawberries are very popular with the girls.
