Craft Group Update

Did you know I go to a craft group on Tuesday mornings? It’s at my Nanna’s house, and the group consists of Nanna, my mum, Aunty Kris, Lekky, Felicia (my dad’s cousin’s wife), and me. Sometimes my cousin Julia comes along, but she’s just gone overseas now.

Anway, those who follow my twitter updates will know we’ve been working on a Christmas wall hanging. It’s coming along pretty well, and this week I attached the two halves, and started putting on my borders.

You can see a light brown border, which isn’t very big in this picture, cause I’ve been pinning on the red border. After that is a light green border. Then the binding. A lot of borders, hey?!

Anyway. Once my borders are on I need to put in the wadding, then put on some embellishments (And think of something to put in that green one at the bottom…)

Here’s a bit of a close-up. Everything you see in there has been button-holed around :-O

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

It’s Funny Like That

Do you ever feel so INCREDIBLY overwhelmed with life? I sometimes feel like I want to retire. Not because of my job (I enjoy working with my husband, Dad and other other team members; and the work I do is enjoyable, and new), but sometimes just because of life. I get a taste for all these wonderful things I could be doing- sewing, crafting, scraping etc and I think, “Goodness, why don’t I just do this ALL the time?!”

But alas, it’s not really like that, is it? We HAVE to work to make money to buy the crafty things we need!

I HAVE joined a craft group, which is helping me to enjoy and release my creative side. It’s my Nana’s craft group. We meet on Tuesday mornings, about 9-12 at Nana’s. Of course, this means I’m taking some time off work, BUT I’m making it up by working an extra hour each other day. Here’s what I’ve done in the last two weeks:

The top half of our Christmas wall hanging.

This post is, by the way, dedicated to my friend Mandy, who thinks I need to chat more on this blog…

My angels are a bit different to everyone else’s, but hey, was I EVER really going to conform to the pattern? They also look a bit different… STARS are going at the top, which will be very cute.
