The Lace Saga Continues…

April 30, 2016 MrsCraft12 Comments

What do you do when deciding how to deal with your WIPs? Get to work on one of the others, that’s what! This afternoon and evening I have been working on the back of the lace cardigan and I will be honest and say I felt much more confident until I messed up 1 stitch.…… Continue reading The Lace Saga Continues…

Corner to Corner Dilemma

April 30, 2016April 30, 2016 MrsCraft16 Comments

I rebelled against my own rules and started the C2C blanket with another WIP still on the go. I love how easy it is once you get into the rhythm but I don’t like the white stripe so it looks like I’m going to pull it back down to the orange.   The only problem…… Continue reading Corner to Corner Dilemma

Super Simple Sewing Tin

April 29, 2016April 29, 2016 MrsCraft6 Comments

Have you ever seen things in magazines and said to yourself that one day you’ll make it? Only quite often, you never do. Well today I made something inspired by what I saw in a magazine (Prima Makes) and I’m pretty chuffed with it! I found a tin for 99p in a charity shop that…… Continue reading Super Simple Sewing Tin

Corner to Corner Colour Plan

April 28, 2016April 28, 2016 MrsCraft12 Comments

I have absolutely fallen in love with the idea of a corner to corner blanket and I have masses of these rainbow colours which I have been saving to make a blanket for Jess. Just laying them out to get an idea of colour order is getting me all excited. Now all I have to…… Continue reading Corner to Corner Colour Plan

A Disappointing Day

April 27, 2016April 27, 2016 MrsCraft14 Comments

You might have guessed from the title but I feel a little grumpy and disheartened this evening. I settled down to make two cards-one for a friend and another for a lady who is leaving William’s preschool. I had a plan; a Disney themed castle card using my Tattered Lace die for my friend and…… Continue reading A Disappointing Day

RIP weeds

April 24, 2016April 24, 2016 MrsCraft8 Comments

“A weed is just a flower growing in the wrong place.” Granny c.1990 Right now I am inclined to disagree with Granny, though I am sure there are many places where weeds (or wildflowers as some would prefer them to be known) are welcome and indeed encouraged. I know that insects love them and that…… Continue reading RIP weeds

Lace Cardigan Progress

April 23, 2016 MrsCraft10 Comments

Tonight I have cast off the first part of Jess’ cardigan-you could say I’m quarter of the way there. I hadn’t realised the impact of changing needle size for the rib, but I quite like how it narrows the body of the cardigan. I had to knit the rib on circular needles as I didn’t…… Continue reading Lace Cardigan Progress

Weeding, Watering, Improvising and Building

April 22, 2016 MrsCraft8 Comments

What a busy afternoon! Straight after picking William up from pre school we went to the allotment with a job list. Dave wanted to build the shed door (which he did, successfully, apart from some slightly over sized screws which now have to be ground off unless the door is to become a weapon of…… Continue reading Weeding, Watering, Improvising and Building

(Not) Losing to Lace

April 21, 2016April 24, 2016 MrsCraft19 Comments

Lace-the word conjures up images of delicate beauty, of all things gentle and lovely. Not to me right now! If I didn’t want to make the cardigan for Jess for this summer I would abandon it for now and focus on other things. As I progressed further up the back I saw that the pattern…… Continue reading (Not) Losing to Lace

Ruby Wedding Card

April 21, 2016April 21, 2016 MrsCraft3 Comments

Jess’ childminder has been married for 40 years so it was only right that I should make a special card for them. I used Cricut Cindy Loo for the heart and George and Basic Shapes and Type Candy for the text. Die cut nesting shapes and a red, gold and cream colour scheme made it…… Continue reading Ruby Wedding Card
