Where is the time going?

I've actually managed to do some crafting! Another heart, and I've finished the first part of the GP season swap but I can't show you it as the recipient may see it. That is very frustrating as it's something I've not done before and I really want it to show you but I can't - I'm really quite pleased with how it's turned out.

I forgot to show you the books on my kitchen side as well - some of my cooking books. The one used the most is my Mum's old bero book, then the Delia book (although I fell out with her over her last series on TV), then the River cottage family cookbook. I tend not to follow recipes exactly (just like my crafting really) but I do love to drool over the pictures ;-). You'll have to excuse the dust - I would blame the builders as there is more than normal, but really I hate dusting.

Heart to Heart

More hearts for the shop.

Stuff

I can't believe it's beens so long since I was on here. We had no heating from Monday to Thursday - I just couldn't concentrate on doing much at all, let alone any sewing or knitting. I made up for it last night though, firstly finishing the scarf I was knitting with the Twilleys freedom wool. It's single rib, so it took a while, as well as 5 balls of wool until I got the length I wanted. Then I made Hubby's new phone pouch as he's been needing one for ages. Pure wool felt with a rocket on the front. Next came the 2 hearts, while watching QI. Felt much better doing something.

Today, I got the sewing machine out and finished the gift/party bags I started last week. Off to put some things in the shop now.

Something for Valentine's Day

I made a felt heart last night ready for hubby for Valentine's Day, but decided that I would make one for each of us, so this evening I've sat and made another big one and three smaller ones then fastened them onto an embroidery hoop to make a mobile. I adapted the idea from the lovely Lucie - hope you don't mind x.
