The Dogmother Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 They are really pretty Plum - remind me of that gorgeous hexagon blanket that Snowy had at Tasha's BBQ. I'd love a loo at the pattern too - one for when I get back into it. I came across this album when I was looking for something entirely different - great inspiration for colours and patterns.

Plum Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Will be spending a lot of time looking at that album, you're right very dribbly. It was Snowy's lovely work at Tasha's BBQ that got me going. The pattern is Link and the flikr African Flower site is Here but I love this Dribbly cushion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Oh my word Plum, that is seriously dribbly! Psychedelic! I really love that, have been seriously stuck for inspiration lately, but that may just have cracked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGirlsMum Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've just finished the first lot of lavender bags shaped like small pyramids, they are surprisingly good/ The girls are going to sell them at the school's craft fair on the 1st October, marketing them as home grown lavender. Also made a tiny knited ghost only another 37 to do for the rainbows and brownies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Beautiful work, very inspiring. I have now spent ages following the links. Some amazing pictures as well as the lovely craft work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I think it works now.... No, a friend sent me a link. She wants me to make her one I have explained that I have far too many unfinished building jobs at home t get any crochet done in the near future; it's all just wishful thinking at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've finally finished my friends birthday present...took slightly longer to finish than expected, as I mislaid my sewing needle, but will pop it in the post tomorrow as it's her birthday on Wednesday. It's the union flag purse from Cath Kidston's 'Stitch!' book. I did the needlepoint ages ago, but have only just finished handsewing it all together.

Snowy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I've not managed to do any sewing for a while, so was pleased yesterday to get a day to myself. I dragged an old canvas tent out of the loft, cut the roof off and turned half of it into a windbreak. Nearly finished, just need to sew a bit of bunting along the top. The other half is going to be a tarp to go over the windbreak to create a cooking area. It was hard work - tough waterproof canvas, and my sewing machine protested a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Dog coats! Well one for the moment... It's rare that I get my sewing machine out these days except for mending or running up the odd curtain. Ruby looks a bit miserable in these photos, but that's because I woke her up from her warm bed beside the fire! I have some more fleece fabric with red skulls on a black background, so will make at least one more to see them through the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
