Oh la la!




Unfinished Objects 


I am surprised to blog this but 4 - 6 weeks into my Gap Year I have emptied my UFO cupboard. the few things I have left in there are long term projects, such as my Debbie Abrahams Mystery blanket and a few embroidery samplers. Sooo.....I am off to London and Newcastle to do some shopping, there is a knitting shop in Prudhoe, Newcastle called ReadySteady Knit  www.readysteadyknit.com  that will be my first port of call, then I need to find a great fabric shop. Wish me luck, the great thing is; I can speak the language!

Last week I left you thinking about what we could make with an old pair of jeans. Chelsea flew home to model this apron for me and we love it. I made it for a certain friend who had a birthday last week and she is really tough to make things for but I am committed to making all my presents this year so she cannot be an exception. 




Is this the cutest thing?

Wonder if it will ever see the inside of a kitchen?


The most exciting news is that one of Inverness Blitz American Football www.invernessblitz.co.uk  coaches is going to be a daddy soon. That gave me a wonderful excuse to make a Shannon design blanket that I have been holding on to for a while. Lets hope he has a boy! Although, if it's a girl I will have to go shopping again soon! 

love these colours

In celebration of Halloween I decided to do something scary, I have signed up to do a handmade gift exchange with a blog I follow, www.pinkxstitches.blogspot.com
I need to come up with an original idea and make something handmade to send out to a randomly selected fellow blogger. 

On another note I'm sure you will have all noticed that I have figured out how to add a link to my blog, I may have gone a bit overboard but it's all good practise. Blogging is getting easier every time, I think a lot of you could do this with a subject more interesting than this. What about all you wonderful photographers and travellers and sports persons.....if I can do this then you should too.

Byee thanks to my 3 followers.
