Stolen

Our house was broken into yesterday and unfortunately my laptop was stolen (as well as BM's and a work laptop) so I'm off the internet at home for the foreseeable future.  I'm really annoyed about the lovely photographs I lost - just the ones that I haven't posted about yet. :(

    Aww I'm really sorry to hear that. I haven't been blogging as much lately as I've been busy. Some people have no shame and it's so annoying and frustrating to think they can just break into your home and get away with it. I hope they are caught. The main thing is that you are safe though.

    All things nice...

Merino baby cardy

Image
A quick make but it took me ages to finish!  I was gifted this merino fabric ages ago at a fabric hoarders fabric swap.  The binding is from a local Japanese shop on Cuba street . Cute, no?  I started it so long ago that I've managed to lose the free pattern I used to create it.  oophs!  I like the tie I've pulled together a loop from the binding for the front. I've french seamed the seams.  I really love the finish.  This was one of my first knit garments so its lovely to have it finally finished.  I didn't have a recipient in mind at the time - just wanted to use up the fabric and start thinking about knit fabrics but a friend recently had a baby girl so it'll go in the post soon!

Well hello there 2016

Image
Gemma of sixty six stitches and Wendy of Sew Biased  formed a blogging pact to post at least one post a week until our respective backlog of makes have been blogged.  I've been creating a lot this year but not really blogging and in most cases, I've managed to photograph the makes.  Thankfully it was a day or two into the new year so I'm still on target! So starting of this year of reblogging is a self drafted pencil skirt. Of course, it comes with rather poor quality photos! Overlocked on the inside. And fully lined with an internal yoke and invisible zip. I have such a flat arse  seat that there's no back darts - but the fit is great and its a nice coloured addition to my work wardrobe.  (with guest cat appearance)

Painting

Image
My craft room was originally a dark terracotta brown and a deep almost blue navy.   I finally picked a colour for it and spent some of the time over my Christmas holidays painting merrily away.  It really was a pleasurable experience (except when we realised that the skirting boards weren't actually white and we had to redo those too as they had bits of the old colours liberally applied in places they shouldn't have!). The colour of the room was something in between the photo above and the one below.  They really were quite strong colours. (And in case you noticed, yes I did write on the wall with my tester before we painted!) I'm very much a process girl and I thought a photo of the room with my painters tape up and the undercoat would be vaguely interesting for people. Ok, fine, I can't lie.  I'm just too damn pleased with the whole process not to share it all - it is a web log after all :D It was at this stage that I remembered my mother's sage ad...
