IT'S LIKE A HEATWAVE...
After a calmer week temperature wise, it looks like we're heading into another heatwave so I'll be doing my best to keep away from the sun and in the cool of the JanCave!
The unexpected craft fair went really well last Saturday, raised a goodly amount:
The tables were smaller so everything looks a bit crammed on but never mind! The stall next to me was a ceramics one run by a lovely lady, Planet Janet, who appeared on the TV programme The Great British Throw Down.
She's as mad as a box of frogs, we had a good chat about the programme. She lives locally so hopefully our paths will cross again some time soon.
I thought I'd dig out the blocks I made recently and put some sashing on them:
I was deciding between two spotty fabrics...
...and went for the dove grey one (you're seeing the wrong side here!)
Trimming them up before attaching the side strip - the blocks were too busy just to sew together, it made my eyes ache!
I've been experimenting with some patterns for later in the year so I apologise now for the next two extremely unseasonal pics.....
These are all small and use up a lot of scrap yarn and when you sew them together.....
Makes a snowman chocolate orange cover! I've got a few RNLI ladies going to knit stuff for the Christmas fairs which start in October so need to get the patterns out soon before holidays etc start. They can make them in their own time then! Btw, there's a tennis ball inside this one, too hot for chocolate right now *grin*
If you're of a delicate nature then look away pronto - you see, I've been trying out another knitting pattern for a doll knitted in one piece, then the features are sewn in place afterwards. I'd done the first stage of the outer and started to laugh, it was like Julia and the Elephant all over again:
Errrrm, it's not good is it? G was wondering what on earth I was making! I'm not sure this pattern is for me, I'd snigger too much, lolol!!!
On that happy note, hope you have a good week and keep as cool as you can xxxx
