I'm afraid its the end..........................

.........................of my knitting days!!

Sorry i havnt blogged for a few days about my challenge to knit a cushion, i have been rushed off my feet!!!

Anyway i started kniting and used to balls of wool but they must not have been big balls as the knitting i created wasnt big enough to make the cushion i wanted!!!

My son then asked me if i could make it in to a little cushion for his Lucy! (his beloved ragdoll) so that is what i did and here it is.............It is possibly the worst thing i have ever made lol but Oleigh and Lucy were happy with it and couldn't wait to get snuggled up into bed!!

So that is the end off my Knitting days for now it wasn'tsomething i particulary enjoyed but am glad i tried something new...........i ma now going to focus on the craft i love xxx

I managed it..........

Yes, last night i managed to knit a few rows.I couldn't get my head around casting on then going onto knitting but after a MISI friend explained it to me i did it!!!!



Right so the bit that i did isn't fantastic and i cast on with 30 stitches and cast off with 39 ;-0 lol i am quite proud with what i achieved - here it is....

So now i have cast on again and am going to make myself a little cushion i just hope i can manage it without dropping stitches and even gaining them he! he!

MY OTHER ACHIEVEMENT TODAY

Is that myself and my youngest Oleigh have made a cupcake cake and it has turned out really well unlike the pancakes i normally end up with we are both proud of it, maybe too proud to let anyone eat it ......

Its vanilla and chocolate chip sponge with buttercream icing and malteasers yum!yum!

My New Challenge!!

I have decided to set myself a challenge and try and learn a new craft that i am a complete novice at and thought i would log it all down in my blog so let the trails and tribulations begin .................................

Ok so i collected the things i thought i would need which was wool, knitting needles and a getting started booklet!!

So the first thing is to cast on now let me tell you it took me about an hour .........yes you heard right AN HOUR! to cast on 27 stitches, i did however keep unravelling what i had done because it didnt look right :-0 so here is where i left it last night...............

Oh dear :-[ i am failing at this blog lark is my life so so busy that i struggle to write every week??? the answer to that is YES at the moment!!!

I have had a few custom orders that i have just finished one being for

Right better get off and get something done short and sweet this time but will be blogging with some exciting news soon!

Doesnt time fly lol ....................... was supposed to be blogging quite regular but dont seem to be able to fit everything in!

I must admit i had been crafting like mad for the last 2 weeks as i did a handmade market stall (my first i may add!!!) on Saturday at Sheffield and wanted to have plenty of stock!

Most of the stock has returned with me - boo hoo, as the footfall wasnt great and it was a cold wet day but i was pleased with how my stall turned out was worth going for the experience here are some piccies....................

Was up very late last night - no wait early hours of this morning!!!

I have wanted to send something to artbymimi for the christmas lbom http://littlebookofmisi.blogspot.com/2009/02/little-book-of-misi.html(little book of misi)as it would be my first time to participate in something as great as this!

Anyway i have been so busy with the family and totally forgot about the deadline which was today 10th Oct!!I realised this yesterday and started to panic.

But the lovely Mimi http://www.misi.co.uk/handmade/artbymimi.html said i still had time to send my business cards and thought i would send a few samples so i started this at 10.30 last night and carried on into the early hours to get my samples finished soi could send them today.

Well i did finish them and have now been posted out and although i am very very tired and i am really pleased that i managed it and pleased with what i made.

So i will stop writing now and show you all my Christmas Lbom samples
