It's all about the slow burn projects at my place at the moment. I've got the white quilt, a bit of stitchery, the car crochet & a bit of knitting. There are also quite a few projects that have been put on the back burner waiting for more time.
I think perhaps a few too many things on the go - meaning I'm getting no where fast with any of them...sigh.
It looks just like a baby chick doesn't it? It's not though. It's going to be part of a little embroidered piece I'm working on.
We are all about the colour at the moment...colour for fences...& excitingly colour in the garden too. I'm going out to the nursery with Trace to check out plants this morning.
Mucho excitement.

Taking a few slow & small stitches. I've been procrastinating with this one for far too many months!
It's light & airy & delicate and it seems lately I've been more about the speed so this has been "back-burnered" more than once.
Time to get on with it.

I'm fighting the big girl for time at the machine today.
I've hacked into an old feed sack & am working on easing gently back into the making.
I wonder if you guys have been making or if like me you've lazed away the summer hols.

The decs are popping up all over the place & I'm making some too.
Strips of Liberty at the ready... festive but not too Christmassy so we'll be able to enjoy them all year round.
This is going to be the last Creative Space for 2010. We will fire up again late Jan or early Feb. Take a break from the making...if you like...or don't...but do put your feet up and enjoy some time with your loved ones. Thank you all for making Thursdays such a lovely community day...you're ace!

Remember when I said that I was done with the doily craft? It seems I lied.
I've got a little speedy quick gift idea. Maybe one that might help you guys out in the silly season too. I'm hoping to have a little make along ready for tomorrow.

I'm hooking up a stormy sea.
It's a big huge giant leap for me...I had to put three colours/shades together! You may or may not have noticed that I am generally a one colour girl (or one & white/cream & that really doesn't count). Some people are great with colour & pattern, they splash it about with gay abandon & ALWAYS get it just right. That ain't me...interesting isn't it?
Just a giant mess of chains & ends that I'm hoping will be a little something lovely.

After a bit of encouragement I've dragged out my very bestest vintage sheet set.
I'm unsure where this is heading but they won't be going back in the cupboard unchopped.

is still filled with the "ask me no questions" craft from last week. It's inching ever closer to completion.
I seem to be ridiculously busy & pre-occupied at the moment. This usually lends itself to a total kitchen rebellion but I'm loving being at the stove at the moment. Last night I made these delicious (& really bad for you) potato stacks & today I'm planning on whipping up some banana bread & white chocolate cookies for the school lunches.
Happy Thursday folks.

I'm starting something else experimental. We'll see if it translates from head to hand eh?
I am thrilled to be using vintage Sunbird cotton. It was made in Brazil especially for Woolcraft. I picked it up at the Op Shop for $2.
I only seem have the head space for the hook at the moment. It's interesting the way things happen in phases isn't it?

I'm just playing around with some paint chips. I've got a little plan for the smallest's room. I think she'll like it.
Oh & I'm plotting my next lino cutting move too & thinking about all the half finished crochet projects I really want to finish up.

Mucking around with pencil & paper in a bit of down time from the hook. Doodling, writing, scribbling & trying to figure out how to make my homework look semi decent. I'm not at all comfortable with the pencils. ARGH!

I needed another "on the go" project.
Just a bit of meditative back & forth with a big hook & some lovely silky soft bamboo.
I'm calling it the peacock blanket.

Just a teensy bit of x(ing) going on.
A fair bit of movie watching & coffeeing & hanging with the kids too.

It's been a while since I've had the power tools out.
Truthfully, I didn't need this monster but I couldn't for the life of me find the drill bit for the little guy.
It's just a distraction really, but quite a lot of fun.
Lovely space from last week here.

It's all about "on the go".
The kids have athletics today so I won't be around. I'm prepared though, I've been slowly working away on this crochet piece during swimming lessons & music lessons. It just stays in the car & when I get half an hour here & there I've got something to keep me busy.
Lovely space from last week right here.
Have a good day today everyone. I'll catch you next week.
I'm all about the glue at the moment.
Glue & dorcas pins. I'm enjoying mucking around with all manner of pin & pincushion ideas in the foreground while I continue with a few more major projects in the background (I promise the white mini is one of those projects).
A lovely glass half full space from last week can be found right here.
I'm trying out a new link system this week which also has an end time. Fingers crossed it works out OK. If you've got any thoughts on this vs mr linky please feel free to comment. I decided to stick with the text link as I think it probably encourages people to get around & have a chat.
I did actually manage to get cracking on the white quilt yesterday. I'm piecing by hand so the pins are out.
This of course got me thinking about pin cushions & magnets. I've given myself permission to deviate for speed craft.
Variety & all that...I need it.
I know that the Link man has been a little moody lately & I think I'll probably change over to someone new next week but I'm having a swag of computer issues of my own. The geriatric laptop is totally on the go slow & I think on her last legs. We've made some purchases & the tech guys will be here on Monday to set us up! Enormously excited about that!
Gorgeous space from last week right here.

Wonking it up. I'm usually not good at wonk with hand work. My stitches usually end up even despite my best wonky efforts.
I've found the key to the wonk & thought you might enjoy being let in on the secret.
Hold your work at arm's length.
Lovely, lovely space (I've fallen quite in love - can you tell) right here.

is a puzzle.
I'm already struggling to get the pieces in order & haven't made the small chops yet! I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this one.
The cloud knitting turned into the Huppari during the week & I'm still hooking & sticking up a storm. I do need to pay the sewing machine & the embroidery floss a bit of attention this week though...birthdays & deadlines loom.
