What Have I Been Up To? Hmmm...

Hi Everyone!

Well, I just thought I would show you a few photos of what I have been up to lately, while I am still recovering at home ..... (yes... STILL cant drive just yet!!)  Anyway these hands just hate to be idle, so I am doing about four projects at the moment.  I know, I know, I should just FINISH some of my many UFO's.... and I would (if I could find them!!) ..ha..ha..  Yes, moving into another house has meant that many carefully packed UFO's, are packed away SO well, that I have yet to find them!! ...lol...

I love knitting - have been doing it since I was about 7 years old!

Anyway, this is my knitting - it is just a scarf (I will probably keep it myself). I really love the bronze/gold colours in the yarn - it doesnt show up in the photo, but it has a bit of glitz in the yarn.  When it is finished I want to hand dye some nice lace, and embellish it with Swarovski crystals in a fringe effect, and then I add it to the bottom of the each end of the scarf, just to BLING it up a bit!!  (I just LOVE a bit of "bling")!!  I have done this before on a lovely soft grey scarf.
Then I have this little stitchery that I work on while I am sitting in front of tv at night.  I hate just "sitting", I really like to have some stitchery or embroidery to work on, or even just knitting.
I might use this little stitchery on a pocket of a tote bag or something as a Christmas gift to one of the ladies in my quilting group Golden Gully Quilters, as we all share gifts (Kris Kringle style).

Cute Little Stitchery!

Then, I have started putting these pretty little flannalette squares together as a little scrappy quilt for my new grandchild, due next March.  I wont do the border or backing until I find out whether my DD2 is having a boy or a girl, as she and her hubbie want to find out - which apparently you can do at week 19, which is only about 3 weeks away!

Now, this Layer Cake is called "Girlie Girl" by Cheri Strole and I saw a great tutorial on the Missouri Star Quilt Co (they have FAB tutorials for pre-cuts!) and this looked quite easy and quick, so I started this yesterday, quite late in the day, and it is coming together really quickly!

I will show you more photos as it gets closer to being finished.

It's just straight sewing - Sew Easy!

Chain piecing makes it sew quick!

I have 2 of these Layer Cakes, so I want to make one for Sugarplum and one for Ladybird, and then I also have 2 Charm Packs of the same fabric, so I might make a little quilt for Cutie as well.
So, what are you up to with your quilting and craft work?  Let me know, as I love to hear from you all, and find out what you are doing.
Well, I must get back to my sewing!!  So, bye for now!
