This has got to be just a little bit exagerated... One of my "nephews" will be 3 in a few days. I bought the cute superman t-shirt and then... went mental and made a superman cape. Oh well...

Babies everywhere!

This quilt is fast becoming my most difficult project. I was in the first stage, piecing together the quilt squares when my sewing machine went and died on me. Either I put it on hold while I waited to get the machine fixed or I would need to take action some other way. So, it has been done entirely by hand... For now, I've finished the quilt top and this embroidery piece. I need to get the sandwich done. I was thinking of quilting it, but I've decided to go with just a sprinkle of stitches, as I've done before. It's quicker and, as I haven't got the sewing machine fixed, I will need to do the binding by hand too...
The backing is to be done with the cat fabric in the background. Baby David will just have to wait a little longer...

Ongoing...

Quilting quilt number 2.
I'm starting to feel I don't have a lot of time... This quilt is for a baby that has already been born. The next three babies will be born in December and January, which gives me about two months for three quilts... Overtime!

Update

Blanket number one and bunny: check!

To do lists are the devil's work!

To do list:
Five baby blankets (this is number one and it's all done now)
Crochet bunny

 Looks like very little, but it's *a lot*... need to keep my sanity!

What are doillies for?

Crochet mobiles - a great way to get rid of the tiny doillies I sometimes crank out in copious amounts...

Obsession

I wonder if I have been a bit star wars obsessed lately...

I love the yoda invasion

What's next?

Ewoks and R2D2's... Maybe a Chewie? Or maybe just a hiatus...

Saturday lie-ins

In memory of Jack

Home, Sweet Home

All recent crafts

All crafts I was not suppose to be doing because I should be studying... Oh well...

Sometimes a project...

...starts off and then I get lost and don't know which way to go with it.



So, what next? I am thinking doll quilt. But I'm wondering if there is something different I could make... Hum...

Doily Number 1

The first of the x-mas presents. Not leaving things till the last minute this year...

Bem me quer

A little gift for a friend. I copied the design. As soon as I find the original, I'll post it. I just had to make it - it's so cute!

Edit: Found it!

The Barcelos Apron

Long time no see! Been busy with holidays and exams... It's also funny that I don't usually take a lot of pictures of my crafts, so I may have done loads of stuff, but I just dont post about it. Unfortunately, this time, I just haven't been doing much.
But, as soon as the exams were over, I finished this apron that's been in the making for quite some time. I wish I had done her in black as I had intended. And I am not happy with the black border clashing with the the blue embroidery edge (picture's not so great. You got to trust me on this!). Oh well, we can't have everything, I guess.

Quilting

I did a quilting workshop. It was so great.
I need to go back to the store and buy some supplies so I can keep this up!

My own little Coraline

She's still a work in progress and the light's a little off, as this was taken at night. She is far from perfect. I was hoping to get better with each doll, but I think the opposite has happened! This little girl has non matching arms, flailing in completely different directions and non-matching legs. Oh well!

Hexagons are going into hibernation

I am finished with the hexagon blanket for now. It is on the sofa, strategically covering the tea stain and also making the sofa look nice and bright. I may want to add on some more hexagons in the future, but for now... it's finished. I spent last week sewing on about thirty hexagons onto the blanket. I think I have reached my limit!

Never Ending Hexagons

It's an eyesore!

Red Riding Hood Scarf

This was supposed to come out completely different.

Unplanned additions: fringes and ribbon.
Planned additions that were not added: granny squares sewn on to the ends.

That's why it's a little short. The granny squares were suppposed to lengthen it. But this wool was not cooperating with the crochet needle, I'm afraid. It's a nice warm wool, a nice and thick scarf. All done in simple knit stitch. Nothing fancy.
