Three Weekends

Three weekends have passed since my last post, all of them crafty in one way or another. Two solo efforts and one very busy and beautiful two days with my good friend Jo.

The first was spent doing small things like this pyrographed heart for Donna at work.



The quote is just right for her - always positive and upbeat.

The middle weekend will get a full post of its own soon but I will point out a few bits and bobs here. It was my Ma's birthday this week so her gifts were finished off and a card created and rushed to the post office only just in time. Here is Jo modelling the yoga bag I made for her...



...it is reversible to allow for a change of scene if desired and is an adaptation of the Mayamade burlap bucket which I love and am so glad I bought the pattern. And here I am modelling the cowl I crocheted - though a little late for this year I'm sure it may still come in handy on those windy Northumberland beaches.


The card was almost dreamed up as I woke up on the Saturday morning knowing exactly how I wanted it to look. I think I will be making more of these.


And this weekend? Along with a new felt mouse for the cat - this time with cat nip which she can't decide what to do with, eat it or purr at it - I did a little crafting for the garden.



I bought Sam the chisels from a car boot as part of his Christmas present. Despite their age - WWI army issued, or so the man said - they are still sharp and worked beautifully on the green ash I used to make labels for our potatoes. We're not big gardeners, though I must admit I think we'd both like to be, but we can manage a few potatoes and maybe some lettuce for now.

Happy weekending to all.
