Update on my Birdie BOM.....

I finally finished both May and June Birdie blocks,just in time for July's block coming out at the end of this week LOL.I think I'm cutting it a bit fine but with work,uni assignments and life I'm lucky to get any stitching done unless I make a concentrated effort to sit down and tune out the world for a little bit with my craft.....it's been my sanity saver this past six months :)

Something new.....

As usual I just can't resist starting something new and with the weather being decidedly cooler where I am I thought I'd start on another crocheted ripple blanket in pink and cream.This one will be for me when it's done.I'm enjoying making a few things for me especially in crochet.

What I've been working on.....

In-between uni assignments which I just put one in and received another to work on in exchange LOL I've been knitting and trying to keep up with a few BOM blocks I'm doing this year.I still don't know where I find the time to fit everything in but I do know that if I at least squeeze in five or ten minutes of stitching/knitting or crocheting I'm a much happier,relaxed person to be around.....thank goodness for my craft is all I can say.

The heart blocks are from the "twelve of hearts" BOM I'm stitching this year,all up to date now and the dishcloths are finishes for OPAM.

I'm halfway through my first year of my uni course and I only have another year and a half and fingers crossed I'll have my diploma at the end of next year to make it all worth while!

More finishes for OPAM.......

This long weekend I finally finished of some projects that have been sitting on my sewing table.I've had two of these draw-string bags cut out for about a month and decided to try and get them done over this long weekend as a reward for finally finishing my uni assignment due this Wednesday.The brown draw string bag I made to use in conjunction with my uni asssignment.I love how thay've all turned out.

I also finished the June block for the "Home sweet home" BOM that I'm working on....now to finish June's block for the "12 of hearts" BOM I'm doing as well.There just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I would love to do but today I spent a bit of time in my sewing room clearing of my tables and I can now say I can see the tops of them again LOL but in doing so I dicovered even more projects I've started and not finished or patterns set aside with the fabric needed for them all bagged and ready to start on..... it's never ending but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.

I'll try and post some more pic's soon of some of the things I've been working on in the evenings when I have a spare moment or two.

June blocks done and dusted.....

I've finally finished my June blocks in-between uni assignments,work and life getting in the way.I've also traced out my July blocks ready to start stitching over the school holidays which are fast approaching.I love how all the diferent blocks are looking,so individual and so special,I may just have to make another of these quilts but in a different colour.....but not just yet maybe over the Christmas break??

While blogger has been missing in action....

This pile of loveliness are some of the things I've been working on....... another is a crochet projet which I'll post pic's of soon when I have a bit more done on it.

Boy am I glad blogger has stopped mucking around and let me sign into my own blog!! I can also now comment on blogs again.I hear a lot of other bloggers have been experiencing this as well ??

Wooooo Hoooo....I'm doing the happy dance here!!!

Finally after what seems like forever blogger is letting me back into my blog to post.I hope it will let me in when I come back later on today,for now I'm heading of to bed after a very fustrating few days with blogger.

Starting and Finishing....

I've finally finished the last lot of wool from that basket I found in my sewing room,in total I made up 10 flurry knitted scarves and tomorrow I'll be taking them to work and putting them on the staff room table for anyone interested in taking one.

I also couldn't resist starting another baby blanket and the crocheted squares just look so scrummy together with the white edging.I don't have anyone in mind for this blanket but I know it will go to a good home when I need one in the future :)

Just for me.....

I started something just for me last week and this weekend I started blanket stitching the applique,it's been months since I've done any applique.I've been working on a lot of stitching,knitting and crochet but I've really missed stitching with hand applique and I'm loving working with this fabric called "Luna Notte" it's just sooooo pretty.

Another finish for May....

I couldn't show you this finish till today when I received word frrom the recipient that she had received it as it was for her birthday....lucky for me she loved it.

I made it for a very special friend and I hope we'll be able to catch up in person one day soon.....maybe once these uni assignments stop flooding in??? Anyway Happy birthday for Wednesday Vicki I hope you had a truely lovely day :)
