Busy, Crafty Days

Well, what a mixed bag of weather we're having!  We're gettiing it all in one day today; warm sunshine, then gloomy grey clouds and rain and round and round it goes.  Yesterday's forecast top was 15oC and the day after tomorrow it will be 27oC!  It's even more extreme in NSW.  A week ago there were bushfires, now there's snow!

No matter the weather, there's always something crafty to be done.  Since my last post, I've finished a couple of projects:

"Biased Opinion" scarf

"The Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief"

I've also opened a tiny Madeit shop and listed a few small items.  I have big plans for this but they will of necessity be executed gradually. In other words, get on with your life and don't hold your breath....I'll get around to making more eventually.

Have you seen the new social sewing site on the web?  It's called Threadbias and while it's not huge at the moment, it welcomes all sewers to share projects, fabric stashes, advice and know-how.  Hopefully this will help motivate me to finish some sewing UFO's.  I've pulled out this one to get done next:

It's Mixed Flowers by The Rabbit Factory.  It's supposed to be the centre medallion for a quilt but I'm thinking I might use it for a big, colourful cushion.  The living room needs refreshing.

And lastly, although I'm not supposed to be knitting for a while, I do need socks.  So I'm using this gorgeous Wisdom yarn 

to whip up a quick pair of comfy socks that don't constrict my ankles.  The joys of getting older!

Happy busy, crafty days to you too.
