Project Therapy
66/100 complete Yesterday I completed Challenge 22 - to teach a friend a new craft. My lovely friend Rachel is recuperating from an op and it was the perfect time for her to start some needle felting and quilting. So we have been working together and she is creating 3 very special and personal masterpieces and I [...]
Together
56/100 complete I’m not a great finisher – I’ve said it before and a while ago I began a very cool little project. I have to say I worked hard and I was pleased but the rest of the work had to be done in the garage. I don’t really like to work out in [...]
6 To Go…
50/100 complete Not 6 challenges but 6 recipes to go and I have completed Sophie Gray’s first book. Today I made waffles and the caramel sauce (which didn’t work!) so that is 2 more recipes completed. Luckily we had a house half full of football watchers - (not me!) - to eat the produce. Last night I [...]
Make It Work!
36/100 complete Tonight I am working on Master soon-to-be 4′s handmade birthday gift. Lots of hand-sewing means I can at least watch the final of Project Runway while I work. Last night I also made some needle felted brooches which I think I will use for the giveaway. Fabric and wadding for Master 1′s quilt [...]
Day 114 & 115
31/100 complete The outfit was finished on time. The final applique had some work at coffee and crafting (thanks Chrissy) but all was done and ready to wear for Saturday night. I was a little disheartened with the skirt along the way but then I applied the felt ‘garden’ and now it is totally redeemed. [...]
Day 111
31/100 complete The raffle is drawn. I used a computer program to do the deed for me so I could maintain non-bias. Enter a number: I want a number between 1 and… // Result: 273 And this is the result. As you can see from the above I had 413 tickets sold and [...]
Day 105
28/100 complete Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albert Einstein I saw this quote today and I adore it. More than that I think it isn’t just the judgement of others that leads [...]
Day 95
25/100 complete Today we were on a mission to buy hot water bottles. The ones we had last winter are no-where to be found. So today we purchased 4 and this mama proceeded to make hottie covers from 4 felted jerseys. Each has initials on them or in the case of Master 3 his initials and [...]
Day 84
23/100 complete I’ve been musing table settings for the Easter dinner today. Normally I’m one of those people who dreams of amazing table settings and finishes last-minute with a partially clean table-cloth and on the odd occasion some serviettes I found in the back of the pantry! So at least the leap will be huge however it goes. Tonight [...]
Day 65
Make, Give, Contribute, Challenge. 1 year, 100 creative challenges. 16/100 complete. Today was a lovely mix-y kind of day. A morning full of 4 little lovelies – bus rides, park play and library then this afternoon a chance to craft, chat and chill. I met the lovely, crafty, blogger Deb (see her comment day 31 [...]
