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

Emma of Fairyqueens Jewels-http://www.etsy.com/shop/fairyqueensjewels

Who asked me if i would commission a travel journal for her little girl for their trip to Paris.

Hope your little girl enjoys writing about her adventures in her journal!

I have also had quite a few orders for girls keepsake boxes and this is one i have just finished.....

this all in between having, painters,plasterers,electritions and joiners in my house to get it decorated so my house has been upside down for a while!!!!
