The Last Big Sew of 2010

I have been on holidays from work for one week and 2 days. I am not the type of person who can sit still very well (if at all). Following Christmas day I started sewing. I was given some beautiful craft book for Christmas and they are very inspirational.
This is what I have completed so far...
A dress,
A top,
A baby dress and matching bloomers out of the scraps from the dress,
And book bag for the nephew for his birthday made out of an old pair of pants,
Also here is a sneak peak of a very special quilt project. Stay tuned.

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you had a lovely day. I have come up for breath following the festivities on both Christmas and boxing day.
We celebrated Christmas at our house this year with the immediate family as it was our first Christmas in our own house. I now feel truly grown up.
It was a great day. A big thank-you to all the lovelies that assisted us to put on the Aussie spread and with the running of the day. You guys made the day a breeze. It was such a pleasure to have Christmas at our house.
Here are the Ginger Bread Houses of 2010.

Christmas Time

I am beginning to get into the festive mood. I have been so busy recently and have had limited craft time. I am suffering from severe withdrawal from my craft addiction.
Yesterday I spent the whole day with a very special friend and we decorated our 2010 gingerbread houses. Mine is in the Hansel and Gretel style and hers is a 4 building masterpiece.
I have yet to take photos of these.
I was looking back through my old photos and found pictures of the 2008 gingerbread house that my friend and I made together. This was before I started my blog so I thought I would share the photos of that gingerbread house with you today.
For our first attempt at a gingerbread house I think we did a mighty fine job.
I hope to share photos of our 2010 gingerbread houses soon.

Im so Proud...

Hi there, since cracking the crochet code I started to make a granny square rug and it's finished! I am very pleased with the result. I feel that the colours go really well together. The rug is only small. It measures approximately 80 x 80cm.
And I of course, I used the left over wool to make a beanie. I am still trying to find the perfect way to photograph a beanie. This time I used a tall vase.
