I quite like the photo of my table today. By accident, it is colour co-ordinated with the projects of the week.
You can see the little photo frame I made on Friday. It has silk flowers and leaves free machined over felt, wool and yarns. I think Wipso has already popped it in the blog shop.
If you look to the right you can see a little paper rose that I made following Paula's brilliant tutorial. I think I need lots more practice, but now I know how to do it I shall try again. Wipso and I certainly had a giggle on fun day Monday as we sat making our first ones.
In the cenrte of the photo, you can see my next project. I chopped up my table cloth and I am going to combine that gorgeous wool/ribbon yarn and the flowers with free machining to make another photo frame. Its all a bit experimental but then so is everything I do. I never make the same thing twice. - Unless of course its knitting......
This week I have been mostly knitting for my great niece and her sister to be. I finished a gorgeous little cardy in Crofter wool - pinks and lilacs and then I have made 2 little shrugs. This is the tiny one for the baby due next month. P. is16 months now and loves her little shrugs, so I just keep making the pattern a bit bigger each time. Well thats my table for today.
I am popping over to Julia's blog to see what everyone else is up to but first I have to clean my windows! I have a friendly window cleaner who cleans the outside but the inside is down to me and not my favourite job. The exercise will do me good!!
Yummy stuff!
ReplyDeleteI admired your flowers on Wipso's Blog. What a clever pair you are!
Your WIP looks terrific. DO you just knit a larger size from a pattern or make a larger garment because 'you can just do it'?
In awe as ever!

You are one in a million sis. We will see little P tonight cos she is coming to see her Granddad for his birthday so I will be passing on her shrug. I know she will be thrilled. Really love your frames and am really surprised they haven't been snatched up already from the shop cos they are gorgeous and Mother's day is just around the corner.

Girgeous shrug, I can see why P loves them. The frame is so pretty
ReplyDeleteWOW its very tidy, I love the shrug its so sweet, the colour is one of my favs too, Hazelxox
ReplyDeleteThe frame looks fab.
ReplyDeleteyour blog post is certainly a purple pleasure today - is it lilac lovliness???
ReplyDeleteI think you've done an ab fab job on those roses - remember roses in real life are random and no two are the same - their imperfection and randomness make them perfect.
I LOVE those new frames you have been doing and the purple/lilac ones are looking scrummy.

Love the picture frame and the 'rose' and a lovely tidy desk...I won't ask you to swap! (Lyn)
ReplyDeleteI fell about laughing there, for a second I imagined you so desperate to craft something that you whipped your own table cloth off your table and started cutting it up!!!.... then I read your other post and realised what was going on! Lol.

ReplyDeleteLove the frame. I used to love knitting for my daughter (my mum taught me) but she's too "big" for that now. Hugs Pam x
ReplyDeleteColour coordinated indeed this week and in my favourite colour to boot!
ReplyDeleteThe little picture frame is simple stunning and I’m sure it won’t hang around on you shop shelf for very long.

ReplyDeletePretty! and very tidy.
ReplyDeleteNot my fave job either Twiggers, but I tell ya - one bit of March sunshine and oh boy - you can almost tell when I last did them! The shrug is adorable, and now I have to go tothe shop. In a bit of a hurry!
ReplyDeletehiya Twiglet... thanks for stopping by and saying so....let's go with the fun indeed....being too introspective and deep confuses me.... hahahha... which is why I have more bears and dolls in the bookcase than books.....
ReplyDeletebesides, if the Mayans are correct...we only have three more years..... let's get on with it.... lol..... ....
I come by each time I see you update...but don't always comment.... love all your stuff and what fun you have with your sis....I SO wish mine lived close enough to play with....sigh...
Your frames are indeed lovely, I'm looking forward to seeing the new one finished.
ReplyDeleteI am liking your tidiness and colour coordination too ... and your knitting ... well that just rocks X
ReplyDeleteLove your desk today - that frame is stunning!! Clever peeps you and Wipso! Juliexx
ReplyDeleteHi! Should be making dinner, but I've been admiring your blog! Love your beautiful embroidered frames!
