Crochet,Knit,Felt ,Ribbon and fabric.

Felt for my felted bag.

Sabine at my friday knit cafe gave me this inspiration.
The local yarn store
id selling of the fabric to make felt.

And I'am actually knitting this bag(it's been awhile)
with this little stash at 50kr (£5) swag, lets see what I can
achieve.

I just need to research how hot that the washing machine needs to be!
(project Lotrrh, I don't want to repeat)

I want to felt the fabric not destroy it.

Blast from the past.....

click on the entry below and scroll down my adult dress I washed on a boil by mistake and it can out Gelfling size.

Rag Bag

Complete

I found the yellow ribbon in my creative stash, It's a really simple idea and using the ribbon mean that you can adjust the handle length with a nice bow.



Free-form a little Prudence Mapstone.

Well only a little;-)


It just reminds me of all her colours in a piece I googled.

This bag is my favourite so far,
as I am making up the stitch's as I go along..........


Completely new stitches


So I'm in heaven, seeing where my imagination takes me and hoping that I'll remember them to use on the next project.


Prudences a scrumble a week blog, pretty cool for colour inspiration.

One of this weeks event's and its only Tuesday!

My daughter has gone on a school trip so the house will be very silent.

Here's a Little insert in-to "A day in the life of Monet"

A Monet moment


Yesterday she arrived home at 6 she ends school at 330 and its usual for her to stop off with friend all along her route home........


But she always calls and tells me after
she decided where to go.
Silent was the phone, but 6:30 is tea time(dinner) so if she wasn't home then,PANIC.

6pm she strolls in with her hair all straightened and the colour fixed. Local little hair salon thinks that my 12 year old looks adult!

Hair dying

(long story/sleep over, her and friend dyed/cut each others hair)

Obviously not with my permission
and to my daughters shock dying a box wash in Black on medium Brown hair. Makes for a stripy mess of multi colour when it actually starts to wash out.

I figured that we should let it grow out and not fix the wonky bob that it had been cut in as she would learn her lesson! well so I thought.


How did she pay for this.....
She helps a local mum and baby and get paid for her time, so what could I say! Pretty ingenuous and paid for by her self.


Obviously I had to tell her off(whist smiling) as at the same time/she booked, paid and fixed her own hair! at 12
.

We will be in for a night mare of a teenager, until then ill just enjoy the fun stuff I guess?;-)

This weekend I have been mostly crocheting.......

Camera holder for Gray

This is for my Canadian mate Gray, he has a sorry little excuse of a camera case, a cut up sock! (clean I must add) for protecting his camera, not so good.

So I saw the perfect opportunity for a knit gift or Crochet in this case.
(Case Ha,pardon the pun!)


A tiny little stitch for a tiny little bag, tie string optional.

Made on a 3.5 hook using yellow cotton.

Home Sweet

I filled out the centre, but I'm not sure sure its working as it seems to have really pulled the letters out of shape.


So today I have begun the dark green that will be the surround(frame) Then once I have edged the letters with a green band and can see how it sits. Flat hopefully and if not I'll have a re-think.

I may flog the centre and start again;-(

Watch this space.
Mabel Blythe with her up do! (Too cute)

I took this a while back and forgot to post it!OJ OJ OJ

So today I thought would be a good day, as im all doll inspired after seeing the Coraline film.

I found this on you tube and and its the model maker, hair fixer! I guess that's the best way to describe her.
Have a look at the link below.
