Busy, busy, busy

I am busy, busy, busy at the moment! My brother is getting married on Easter Saturday and I am frantically trying to finish some flowerpaste daisies for the cake as well as knitting two bridesmaid boleros! One bolero is done but not sewn together, and the second, smaller one is well under way! There is nothing for it, but to cwtch in and knit this week!! I had planned to make myself a cover up in the lovely Rowan Kidsilk haze, but alas, unlikely to happen at this rate. All these wedding projects are getting in the way of what I really want to be doing - starting my new project 'Down in the Garden' (pictured above). This is a block of the month programme, run by the fabulous Buttonberry, making Leanne Beasley's amazing quilt. Check out her blog for what I hope the finished project will look like!

Sewing Room

My desk arrived for my sewing room yesterday so I am VERY excited! I haven't managed any sewing for about a month, what with packing and moving house. My machine and cutting board are ready on the desk, so I hope to get some done this afternoon - although I still have to build the desk drawers! The room is the smallest in the house, but plenty big for me and my crafy pursuits! I need to paint the walls to suit my taste - they are a bit tooo blue for my liking! It is very comfoting having all my stuff around me again - still lots more sorting to do, but it's a start!

New House

My recent lack of posting has been due to moving house! We have been in for just over a week and are still living out of quite a lot of boxes! The most exciting development is that I now have a bonafide sewing/craft room!!! Of course, I haven't actually done much sewing for the last two weeks or so! Knitting, however, being a lot more portable has featured largely instead! I hope to post lots of pics - just as soon as I've found the cable that connects the camera to the computer!
