Little Ma and I have been cleaning out cupboards and giving lots of stuff to our local Salvos. We have de-cluttered and rearranged things so now have a bigger pantry for all the important yummi things like the preserved peaches i did last summer.
Have also cleared the old chicken coop and am in the progress of building a new and improved one for the girls so hopefully will have that done soon still in the designing stage. Funny how long that stage takes. Little Ma keeps changing her mind but think we are on to an idea for a cosy coop. We were inspired by a you tube video where a woman converted an old school desk into a coop. Will try to find the link and post that soon is so forth a look.
During the colder parts of the day have been sitting in front of our sunny window and been knitting.
These are my twin sister hats which i loved doing. I hand spun the wool ages ago and used to different colours of wool while spinning it which produced the variation. I had previously made a shawl with it but recently decided beanies are what needs to be made with that type of wool. Was fun knitting them as the colours on top came up differently on top like a ying and yang. lol
I have also been finishing some of my unfinished projects. This is a bag i felted ages ago so have added a lining and a handle to finish it. Have named it my monster bag.
This is a skirt i knitted ages ago and have been at a loss as to how to finish it to make it fit better. I had crochet the band but was not tight enough and kept slipping down. Last holidays tried using some ribbon but became complicated and put it back on the pile of unfinished. Until recently when Little Ma suggested using a technique which cages a piece of elastic in but still allows stretch. Was really quick and am so happy with how it looks and fits now.
Its back to uni on Monday so am going to us every free minute of my weekend to do crafty stuff because don't think i'll have much time for it when it all starts again.
Happy crafting!
