Bits and bobs and finishing touches.

The problem with having a blog about the crafty things I make and do is keeping up-to-date with it, or being so busy making and doing, forgetting to show off all the pretty things I have made. So here, as briefly as I can are the things I have managed to make recently:

Above is just a small knitted bag I knitted up over a few evenings in, once done and made up I added a yellow zip and buttons, it is quite small but looks quite cute and I have already been asked for one in purple.
Quick Knits from this week have been the knitted bow brooch and another pair of red and grey hand warmers which I did while selling my crafty things at the market in Milgi's, Cardiff.

I have also managed to finish a leaf scarf I was working on, this scarf drapes around the neck and with the hole on one end tucks neatly in.

This scarf took ages, but I am already thinking about different variations with bigger needles for it to knit up quicker.

And it doesn't at all look like a penis when out straight. Chuckle Chuckle.

I also finally got round to finishing the patch work bag. I added grey buttons on the front and lined it with a soft denim material. Looks very pretty and would make a lovely shoulder bag.

With the rain pouring outside and the insomnia calling I managed to finally managed to get round to making my little brother a tie out of some ghetto blaster and cassette tape material.

All practice for when I start making the ties for the Metson-Kane wedding.

This week:

I have used rounded knitting needles for the first time, must remember to make sure row doesn't get twisted.

Started a snood or 2.

Started some paintings and also managed to wreck one while trying to transport it on my bike.
Boo.

Cassette Tape Hand Bag, my favourite so far.

Last night I made a bag out of the material I found on ebay. I love this material, it has great colours and has converted into a hand bag really well and it is ruddy well cassette tapes - WINNER!

I used some black plastic handles and a dark blue cotton for the lining and made a matching key ring and inside pocket. I also gave this bag a flat bottom which adds more room to the bottom and so it will sit up when placed down. More exciting bags to follow.

Out of the cut offs I made some extra cassette tape key rings, I also made some little moustache brooches from pink and black felt and finished off some more hand warmers:

Dress Making course needs to speed up, 5th week and not nearly finished dress, will try and get as much of dress done over half term break. Now I have seen Cassette Tape fabric I would love to make a dress out of it. AMAZING!

This week to do: Make more pretty bags

Decided on Christmas Card Design/Idea and ruddy stick with it.

Enjoy Swn Festival.

Woo!
