Sewing for the house

Ok,I promised myself that this blog wouldn't be house obsessed but I had to show my chicken doorstop and the sausage dog draught excluder. Great for stash busting and the dog is full of all those fabric and wool offcuts I couldn't bear to throw away.

oohps!

I can't believe it's almost 9 months since my last post - ohhps indeed.
And before anyone get's excited the 9 months isn't significant; although lots of rather exciting things have been happening.
We bought our very own house together - which has been really exciting so my craft activities have involved making curtains; ripping down weird built in wardrobes and ripping up old musty carpet.

I'll try not to get too obsessed with the homemaking side of things but you'll have to forgive me if suddenly things start to bloom in the garden and i feature pictures - it's really cool to see what comes up next.

So there you have it - i'm back. Apologies for the silence and also the disappearance of pictures (I changed e-mail accounts and forgot that it was all linked so my piccies disappeared too!)

Will show you my "i didn't make it to Paris" cardigan; and my new black dress soon.

I loved the outcome and wearability of my black jumper that I decided to make another one, but this time inspired by the water/boating life of Stockholm. Its another stash buster...so a free jumper with wool donated from my grandma and some left over rowan freebie wool.
I like it... now what'll be next; and will I ever post the pictures of my sewing...

June skirt

Inspired by one of the free patterns on grosgrains website, here is my new paperbag skirt. Ben doesn't love it; says its too bulky and heavy...I have to agree but thats kinda why I like it. Sorry for the self-portrait..will have to get better at those.
 More projects to follow including deconstructed macaron dress; and a penciltastic skirt.
