Working Through The UFO's

I know it's a problem most crafters have; starting too many projects and ending up with a big pile of unfinished objects. Most of mine had ended up stuck behind piles of junk in the conservatory that were put there while we did the flooring in the living room. On Sunday night I felt the need to have a bit of a sort out and I started with the conservatory. After deciding what was junk and what needed to be put away, there was enough space cleared to start working through my craft stuff. I now have all my scraps sorted into two tubs (one for small bits and one for larger pieces). I also tidied my cupboard so all my precuts are organised. I sorted through the bags of projects and managed to empty a couple of bags that were mostly fabric.

The next stage of my plan is to start plodding through the other bags of unfinished stuff. Yesterday I blocked the Harmony Shawl and the Tea Time doily, so that's two finished objects already!


Also yesterday I finished this jar cozy, which is available to buy on Buy British Month on CNA:

There's also some silks available (other sizes coming soon!):


And I have a few yarn bargains listed on there too, so head over and check them out.

Of course I haven't managed to get much else done with the lovely sunshine today. We've been having some bubble fun:


Then lunch included dinosaur sandwiches:

Little Update (and a little discount offer!)

Just in case you were wondering where I've been and why I haven't been posting much!

Basically, I have had a very busy month with the two courses I'm doing at the moment. There's so much material to read for one of the courses and it's hard work fitting it in around looking after the kids. Then with assignments to do, a visit to the in-laws and toothache, it's just been too difficult to keep up with the other stuff.


Anyway, I submitted my last assignment for one of the courses at 5.45am (YAWN!) so there's just revision for that one now. There's still masses of reading for the other course so you might find my posting somewhat sporadic over the next few weeks and not many finished objects to show off (study is definitely taking up a lot of my crafting time!)

See that big thick book? Book 4 is even bigger :-/
Anyway, I have a discount code running over in Buy British Month on the Cloth Nappy Addicts forum, why not check it out along with all the other wonderful work at home mum goodies on offer!

More BBM!

To help keep things organised I've listed most yarn on Folksy.


I've also been selling some hairclips and there's more still to be listed.



I also had a play with Woad dyeing and listed two skeins at a bargain price of £6.50 posted.


Woad produces glorious shades of blue and both skeins are semi-solids. I did one skein of aran and one sock yarn.

Maternity leave is going well. Erin is getting into babywearing!!!



Orla on the other hand is enjoying eating parrots




Speaking of parrots, I dyed this yarn quite some time ago for The Soaring Sheep and it was snapped up.
