Kimono cardigan

I've made this for Anara. I made the biggest size (2-3yrs) and it fits great. It's lovely and soft too :) This is the first time I've made anything other than longies from real wool. 

 

 

 

It's a 3/4 length sleeve and short body (purposefully) 
 

 

It's near impossible to get a decent picture of a child. I don't know how the professionals do it! 
 

Finished touches

I put the finishing touches on the Easter baskets I've made. Feather tails! 

 

 

More Easter makes

I'm in a really crafty mood atm. 

Last night I remelted the egg I ruined and did the mould again, but this time I popped it in the freezer overnight. This morning I glued the 2 pieces together. It wasn't bad, but not perfect, I'll have to try again, another day. I guess I don't HAVE to glue them together at all and just wrap them in foil, but that cuts out the fun of smashing them open.

Here's how it came out 
 

the pack my Nanna gave me even came with foil! How cool! 
 

After lunch I smashed it open for the girls 
 

They're not actual mini eggs, they are mini-mini eggs. 
 

Later,  I made this for Anara. 
 

 

Again it needs feathers for the tail. 
 

Easter makes

I made this egg basket for Rheya (I'm gonna make Anara one too) I just need to finish it with some feathers for it's tail
 

 

I had a go at making my own Easter eggs...they turned out great, but then melted in my hands when I tried to glue the 2 halves together
 

I was going to put these in the middle 
 

I remelted the chocolate and did it again. Then I've put it in the freezer in the hope that I'll have more time to handle the 2 halves to get them glued together...wish me luck! 

Fat quarter swap

I took part in a fat quarter swap (I've mentioned it before, I got the bird fabric) well we also had to make ourselves something from the fabric, so I've been working on that this evening (after much faffing with my sewing machine that was refusing to sew without chewing up my fabric) 

Anyway...ta daaaa!!! 

 

and under the flap 
 

inside the bag 
 

and finally, the back 
 

WIP Hiking scarf

I've spent ages tonight looking at patterns. I've got a few skeins of babylonglegs' yarn and I'm dying to knit it up. I'd like to make a cardigan/shrug for Anara or Rheya but can I find a pattern I like? no! So I'm finishing the scarf I started making about 3 years ago..ha!

Thank you longies

A very kind lady helped me complete completed for me, my tax return. So to say thank you, I made her little boy these longies :) 





I adore the colour of these.
