Dartmoor - Saturday 22.1.11

Sam had this lovely little dress of Bellas', but Bella has grown out of it - big style! 

 LIKE BABIES DO : )

These little hearts are lovely, so we decided to make a KEEPSAKE from it.

This is as far as I've managed to get, with the help of DENISE who has excelled herself this weekend.

Below, you can see us lovelies astitching these hearts in BLANKET STITCH.

Next job will be to decorate them a bit more and lightly stuff them. Then I can string them together prettily to make a window/wall hanging for her little bedroom.

Denise also made this little hat from my stock pattern. It is, I admit, a size too small for BELLAS' BIG ED!

LOL

Flaky Fingers Wednesday 30.11.10

With both the mega cold winter and the tiling I've been doing lately, my hands are all dry and chapped.

It makes knitting the babies blanket a non-starter for the moment, which is a shame as I'm a third of the way up it and can see the finished article in my minds' eye. Don't worry ....

I'LL BE BACK!!

Knitty Group Meets Up Tuesday 9.11.10

Went knitting tonight and REALISED

I haven't posted this new creation. I know it doesn't look like much, but it should turn into a lovely little blanket with a gentle yellow border all the way around.

At Last, 

IT'S FINISHED!

The next task is to get it to the lucky recipient.

It's not as bad as I thought,

but not that good either.

Baby Blanket Wednesday 20.7.10

On the road journey back from the Hebrides I got to grips with the baby blanket.

I didn't finish sewing it together, but it did get half done.

AT LAST, LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
