Once more Hawthorn has had my brain cell working overtime but I've managed to prepare 6 photos! So here we go.
1 Cosy
My cosy, striped leggings I made (crochet) a couple of years ago.
Hope you like the 'garter' I added at the top!
Come the cooler weather (and it has started to arrive)
I wear them a lot.
2 Changing Foliage
I was spoilt for choice with this word. But you can't beat a Virginia Creeper at this time of year.
3 Scarf
I follow Lucy from Attic24; she is one of the organisers for Yarndale.
Each year she asks her followers to make something; this year it is to knit
or crochet a teddy bear for the Mercy Ships. Each one needs a SCARF.
the Mercy Ships. She is also going to put a photo of each teddy bear
on Pinterest. Click here to see them.
My attempt was made using the crochet pattern. So far I can't see him
on her Pinterest boards but I know she has received more bears
than she anticipated! My friend has knitted about 20!!!
It took me ages to make just the one so I did not make any more.
We are both off to Yarndale on Saturday 28 September (tomorrow) and we
hope to see our bears there.
4 Baking
Years ago when I did a lot of bread making, I made some
Saffron buns. They froze well and were yummy!
5 Cobweb
Well I've seen hundreds of cobwebs. They are everywhere. Some I find by walking into them! Quite a lot have a spider in the middle! It's been good to watch a spider make/repair a web.
Not sure what the 'lunch' is but the spider (in its cobweb) was busy preparing
it for storage. Not my idea of lunch....
6 Own Choice
Well I've had a lot of photos that came under this heading; I think I'll save some for another time.
Another quilt made for Project Linus. I had made the top 2 stars back in 2011
and the bottom left and centre stars also in 2011 on a day course I attended.
They have been in storage since then waiting for inspiration. It came to me a few weeks ago.
I could make them 'fit' together and I just needed to make the bottom right block.
What fun I've been having; I am doing simple machine quilting and also
attaching the outer binding using the sewing machine. It's not perfect
but it allows me to improve my techniques whilst producing a quilt
a young child or teenager might like.
I used a fleece for the backing. It is soft and cosy too.
Once more thank you Hawthorn. My brain is just about ready for the next set of words!
