Crafty happenings

I am taking part in Christina Lowry's (www.alittlebirdtoldme-craft.com) Christmas ornament swap. My items were posted off on Saturday. Several friends have loved these, sink am
Making more for them - a quick 1-2 can be made very night.

I have finished a kina cardigan for a baby still to be born - used 2.5 balls of double knit and took me just over a week! I will make another one soon. Meanwhile I have started the adult version of it, knitting with Tahki Yarns "Rio" colour a 10 ply wool made in Turkey. I discovered the most amazing wool shop in Milford last week and spent half a weeks pay in wool...
The husband did not have much to say when I pointed to his new coffee machine :)

I have new calendars, diaries and notecards courtesy of the boys- I love this fundraiser and am so delighted with their amazing artwork. I embarrassed them by buying so much - "Mum. Nobody ordered as much as you" they both said! I adore stationery
And things like this! Easy Christmas presents I think!

Anyone taking part in Christmas swaps - I am doing 11 :) - 3/4 posted on Saturday and another 3 to post!
Some are ornament swaps though .
