My Creative Space

Oops, school holidays full of gastro and flu and a busy work it seemed like I was only away for 4 days but it seems to of been nearly 4 weeks!

My softie for Japan is nearly finished and will be express posted up to Lexi today, because there is nothing like leaving it till the very last minute. There were plans for more, but I hope someone will love my very wonky contribution. Super cute pattern from here.

There has been lots of work, work, work this month and 1 night of sewing in a fortnight – unheard of. Poppy picked this lawn cotton at Spotlight and it is cut and pinned … so very nearly a shirt.

And buoyed by the success of Poppy’s hat, I have one on the hook for Caleb - pattern from the lovely Amanda, I bought it on Ravelry – yeah that’s right I am speaking woollen-ese all over the place. It is my 20 minute wind down at the end of work before bed.  Not the yarn I would of picked but Poppy was adamant that it was perfect for Caleb.

More creative goodies at Kirst’s, here touch of drafting this week looks much more interesting than mine!

Finito

I love that some blogs do gorgeous photo shoots before they make it to blog, this one was on the way to the car. I LOVE this hat, which is a little sad. Mary’s suggestion of the pompom on a string – perfect. According to Poppy the pom pom has a name and is her new pet. She even wore it all day at kinder despite the sunny day yesterday.

LOOK, I made something out of wool .. and it can be worn …. by a human ….. in public. Sure I had to pull it apart and start again about 4 times, but mostly due to charging in and not reading and understanding the instructions. Even with that crochet is really enjoyable - the motion speaks to me … well the motion of the treble stitch cause that is all I can do. I have started another hat – for Caleb or Glen depending on how big it finishes! Footnotes of thanks to Miss Kat and Miss Mary xx .

Creative wishing well and a fresh cuppa apparently at Miss Kirst’s

Future

The kids were discussing their careers the other day in the car.

Caleb is going to be a palaeontologist / rock star and said to call him Jet from now on.

Poppy decided a doctor or garbage collector – both of which pay pretty well I think so carry on. Her fall back option – butterfly.

Glad to know the future is safe in the hands of youth.
