My Monday

Today consisted of watering my 'garden', cooking and knitting. I have some beans growing at present and some lettuce and carrot seeds that have just started to make an appearance. I made 24 sausage rolls today. It was a combination of puff pastry, beef mince, sausage mince, carrot, onion and some select herbs and spices. I think I did quite well in my little toaster oven. And I only over cooked one tray. They made for a very tasty lunch and the rest will go to the freezer for an easy reheat lunch. My other project today and was to continue my dishcloths. The pattern is fairly simple but looks nice and sturdy and the cotton is a blend of cotton and nylon. It's nice and thick. Perfect for the kitchen.

So that was my Monday. How was yours?

I like purple and craft

I've been working on some dishcloths for an order and today was inspired to try a string shopping bag from some forum discussion. Here's what I cam up with.

More creative stuff

Before Christmas I managed to get this dress finished. I love it. It swirls and makes me feel all girly.

Hopefully I will have more pictures to share in the next few weeks. I've been crazy busy with uni lately but soon I will be done and able to return to my sewing machine.

Mmmm cookies

Last week I finished this ten stitch scarf. I have tried a few of Frankie's ten stitch patterns and love the simplicity and repetition. I also have a triangle shawl on the needles to finish.

Saturday night boyfriend and I made ANZAC biscuits. Mmm mmm mmm mmm. We doubled a traditional recipe and ended up with enough for 60. Half are frozen as dough and the others are in my cookie jar.

I've been doing uni work this week and can't wait til I finish up so I can get back to my sewing machine.

Crafty creations

Starting off my new year with a resolve to share my story more so I thought I would show you all the crafty things I have finished in the last month.

I finished a baby cardigan yesterday that doesn't yet have an owner. I made some more Christmas cards and decorations and even squeezed in some Christmas stockings for my niece and nephew. All in all I've been quite busy and very happy with my progress.

At last

I finally found an app to use with blogger so I can blog and upload pictures into it from my iPad.

Hopefully now I can get back to writing and sharing a little about myself with you all.

This is what I have been working on lately, I finished it a few weeks ago.

Where has the time gone

My oh my it's been a long time since I have blogged. I've been both busy and distracted. I've been working on uni, spending time with my lovely partner, cooking, knitting, crocheting and a little sewing. I've also been spending some time at church and at the local community garden. I'm resolved however to resume blogging more often even if it only short or just what's on my mind.

So for today, I've been working on a rainbow Babette inspired throw for my bed. I love the colours and can't wait to see how it comes together.
