I'm Back!.... Well nearly...

Got less that 20 papers to go so I have decided to get back into my Friday film habit by watching this...
and hopefully making some more of these..

I need sixteen squares in all. My crochet is still only as good as Granny squares but I would like to actually create something. I found this wool some months ago and have been waiting to think of an idea to use it and I found this via Inkberryblue called 'Inga's Crochet Bag', with my crochet skills I have decided to change it slightly. I hope to finish it very soon anfd make a fabric lining. I think this could look good in patchwork too. (Will need to track down the link, will be back with that)

I have finished another Cath Kidston zippered purse at my Wednesday sewing group..
I am going to list it on my website. At this point I think that I owe everyone an apology. I have had over 300 hits on my website and many must have thought why has she bothered. I have neglected it over the past few months with attic conversions and now complete house re-decorating. I really do appreciate the interest as I did not think that anyone would even look. So I intend to do something about this starting today as I have so many lovely things that I have made but not shown anyone. So sorry if you were disappointed when you looked at the website but do try again as I get my rear in gear!!
The film has finished and I really enjoyed it, a good twist at the end and you may want a box of tissues handy.
Hope to post much more from now on as work is starting to slow down a bit now and become manageable. Marmalade making and Oak flooring this weekend.
See you tomorrow.

Your crochet looks so pretty! I love the yarn. I'm really looking forward to seeing the bag when it's finished. Happy weekend. =]

just thought i'd drop in to answer the question you left on my blog about the quilt i made and posted today...you need about 1 yard each of the fabrics for the center squares and for what frames the center square (that would be the rose print and the hot pink print) because i also used those two fabrics for the border...for the other 5 colors, about 1/2 yard each will do...the quilt is just made up of 2 1/2" strips of fabric...=)...i had purchased 7 yards of fabric originally because i wasn't sure, but i have lots left over...

Don't worry about your blog. I've been reading for a while and I enjoy it. If people didn't post about their personal lives sometimes, blogging would be pretty boring.

Hey, been kind of missing in blogging, busy with wedding stuff and feeling down with the anniversary of my Fathers death.. But I will be back soon.

I really want to get back to my website too, and wish there were more hours in the day to really make a go of it, as more of a business. Pigs might fly! I hope you get to spend more time on yours, and make some more sales. x
