Back again!

Wow it is exactly a year since I posted!  Health issues and life have prevented from doing any crafty stuff.  However, I am now back on track and very keen to get crafting.

This week I have been going through my craft corner and discovered I have at least 9 UFO's or being kinder WIP's! How embarrassing.  Never mind at least my Christmas present list is sorted.  I have decided to try and finish 2 WIPs a month,  and I think that this is doable.

My list of UFOs

Liliana Afghan - only five rounds to do.
Sophie's Universe - up to Part 8
Mandala Madness -  upto Part 5
Cosmos Afghan - up to Part 4
Atlanticus Afghan - upto Part 3
Phoenix Afghan - up to part 4
Elements Squares - 7completed
Eves Sunflowers - about halfway through
Sacred Place Cal - started 2 weeks ago and I am up to date

Today I did some work on Liliana - the rounds take quite  a while and re great yarn eaters. So now I have 3 rounds left to do, Yay!

  My Sacred Place is up to date

 

Also I have started topick up my art again, ast week Ifinished this pencil drawing.

 

Ambrose is waiting on the carport roof for me to come home?

To keep me on the straight and narrow of blogging, I am going to join the Blogging group of Ravelry - Year of Projects

Yarn Chicken, Doilies and Spring.

I have been playing yarn chicken this weekend, I wanted to deliver a pile of children’s jackets I have crocheted recently to a local charity.  I am not good at the finishing touches such as sewing the pieces together and adding buttons etc etc.  For my charity knitting and crochet I use odd balls in my stash or what I find in bargain bins at our local yarn stores.  The only problem with that is if I run out I am stuck.  With the little jacket above I still need to crochet the collar after sewing it up and add an edge for the buttons.  I think I am going to have to leave out the collar and just carry the edge around the neck. I also have another jacket that I was going to turn into a hoodie, but for the life of me I can’t find the needed ball of wool to do this, I am sure I had one, must have used it for a beanie…... I am beginning to see why people list their stash! 

During the week I finished the blue Grace Fearon doily.

Started another, and finished it this morning, it is a doily from the Lacey Crochet Blog by Olga Poltava.  It is called Dreaming of Spring.  Makes me think of the pink Camellias in my garden. I would have photographed them with the doily, but we had a heavy frost this morning and they are a rather sad brown now!  So, they are dreaming of spring!

My plum tree is under the impression that it spring and is scattering its petals around like confetti at a spring wedding.

I couldn’t resist picking a sprig and bring it indoors!

Hope you all have had a crafty week and are looking forward to lots of finishes!
