Christmas past

Well, thats it for another year and another year I still hadn't finished making gifts! Thats it this year I have decided to start early so I am. In fact I am writing a list of people I need to give gifts too TODAY. Then I will make them and tick the names off. You know there is nothing that takes enjoyment out of creating than when your under pressure. So who got handcrafted gifts this year, NO ONE! HAHAHA Thats how much I made this year. Well actually I did make things.

I had no excuse really with the new sites popping up. www.groovycart.co.uk and of course www.misi.me.uk. I won the comp on there and expecting a little scruff handmade bear You gotta check out this ladies work the bears are lovely. You can find her on misi.

Stella did well at making things for presents. I loved my needle case, Kids loved their gifts. I better get off then just wanted to start posting again. Off I go to make a xmas present I only have 12 months left.


HAPPY NEW YEAR

Oh making this scarf was a nightmare. You really need to use bamboo needles with Rowan kidsilk haze, but the result is well worth the effort

BEWARE THE BLACK DYE

Tonight I thought I would do some dyeing. I thought I would be really clever and tidy! WHY? I mix my dye no probs I dyed my wool and guess what I looked down my top is covered. My neck has black spots, How???? You guessed it also my hands are now a nice shade of Black! LOL. I guess the moral of the story is wear an apron. Although that wouldn't have stopped the black spots on my neck. Also wear gloves. I nipped to the shop (a bit to late) and brought some tonight. I have done everything to get the dye off and its not shifting. You can bet it will wash out the wool though.
