My Creative Space #10

This week, I have been super super busy with the hook and yarn.  I have started two projects, and one of them needs to be finished by Saturday night.

Firstly, there is this cushion, that was inspired by Kate at Foxes Lane Flood Relief Cushion auction.  It has been great to make, and the biggest crochet project I have tackled to date.

I think that it is coming along nicely, and am pretty happy with the results so far.  This one has to be finished by Saturday night, but I think I will get it done.  If you want to give this a go for yourself, you can get the pattern here, from the very talented The Royal Sisters.  I love their patterns, and have brought their Grandma Violet cushion pattern as well to tackle next.

And I have been working on this blanket too.

I found the pattern here on Ravelery.  This one is a gift for a friends baby, and they are not due for a few weeks yet, so the blanket has been put on hold until I have the cushion finished.

I have had fun working on these projects, and am really looking forward to getting these finished and working on something new and challenging.  The Grandma Violet cushion that I plan to tackle next has a few new stitches that I have not tried in it, so it will be good to give that a go.

And also, if you have read this far, I am having a SALE this week.  Just use promo code: CS17 at the checkout to get 20% off all purchases, and feel free to tell your friends.

Make sure you pop over to Kristy’s for more creative goodness this week.

My Creative Space #9

This is my first Creative Space for 2011, and I am going to show off some pic’s from my new camera.
Two weeks before Christmas, my old camera, which I have only had for 4 or so years, died.  So Christmas photos were taken on the kids little instant camera’s.
On boxing day, the hubby and I went for a walk and stopped for a coffee and while flicking through the paper saw a Canon EOS 100D on sale.  Great price, so we walked to the nearest store and got one put on hold and picked it up later that day.

And I am loving it and have spent the summer playing with settings and the zoom.

YUM – first ever pavlova made using the Kitchenaid I got for Christmas.

Beautiful butterfly that I snapped during our walk to the Bluff.

Workman hands.

Its been a great deal of fun playing around with the camera, and I can not wait to get a bit more crafty and take some picture’s of of my crafty endeavoues for the year.

Head over to Kristy’s for some more creative spaces.

My New Togs!

Well, my Christmas present from me to me is great.
I brought a new cossie from My Sister Pat, and I am in love!! I think that I will be doing a lot of lounging by pools this summer (if it ever gets hot enough), just to show these off.

I suggest that you all invest in a pair of these great bathers in the future.  Made here in Oz, by a great little team, we should support handmade and local made and all spend summer looking hot!!!

Wishing you all a Safe and Merry Christmas, and hope that your Christmas day is spent in good company with lots of gifts, food and wine.
