Been so busy doing the house that not had time to do much crafting but have got lots of spinning done in the evenings. At last got round to washing and putting it into a ball - purple is Shetland wool roving and the cream is lovely, soft alpaca from a gorgeous gentleman who lives nearby.
Made a little pelmet thing for the bathroom - can't remember if I have put that on already. Used some of the yummy antique glass African beads that I have and they really catch the light in the window. The fabric is from an old grain sack!
Also tried something a bit different and not sure if I like it so will hang it up for a few days and see. Wanted a pin board to put in the kitchen and had an old bread board so decided to paint, ink, stamp and stencil that. Did try putting some graphic transfers on but that really looked horrible so off they came! The cord is twine that a local guy made over in Kenya but a bit brittle so will have to see how that goes!
We'll see - so far not convinced!
Oh, have been trying to get my Aunt Suzies yoga blanket finished! She bought the wool and I had to come up with a design - hope she likes it!
Finally, been crocheting lots and lots of little squares to make a baby blanket. Just started putting it together .
And that's it for now! Going to do some more spinning tonight and hopefully tomorrow going to try to complete an appliqué wall hanging that I started about 2 years ago after a course in Kenya and never quite got around to finishing! The darning plate for my machine has arrived so hopefully can try to do some free motion quilting.
Have a good one x
