 OH I WISH IT COULD BE CHRI............

(Nope, can't do that quite yet........!)

Sorry about the lyric today but you'll see why it came to mind in a bit! Joining in with lovely Deskers around the world at Sarah's, it's always inspiring to see what everyone else is creating.

The temps have calmed down so I'm much happier! Funnily enough I've not done much sewing in the past week though I did finish off the cross body bags from the gifted curtain fabric:

Horizontal and vertical beachy stripes! They actually do work really well, I'm hoping to sell some at the Pembrey market this Saturday.  I did do some sorting of strips as I may do another quilt now I have sufficient:

I've tried a few ways of sorting but this method based on length seems to work well for me - I do like creating order out of chaos, in fabric anyway lol!

Most of the crafting has been in a festive knitting theme. I had a few RNLI friends pop around yesterday to pick up patterns/yarn/embellishments for the craft fairs later in the year:

That way I could keep a list of who's making what so we don't end up with too many of one thing. It's so nice that everyone wants to be involved and it means I don't have to make so much. It's the non knitty stuff to organise next. I had made a few samples to show:

The first snowman encouraged his mates to come along.....

And I wouldn't trust this lot either!!  The folks have now got sufficient time to make up stuff as things get busier in October and that's really not that far away.

Another nice session in the dining room was a long overdue catch up with Lynnecrafts!

Great pic! We had a good old chat whilst Lynne crocheted a chicken and I knitted a mouse....as you do! Isn't it lovely that you don't really have to explain that last sentence? Everyone just knows what you're on about *grin*

Have a fab week everyone and have fun. You bored with retirement yet Sarah??! Lololol xxxxxxxxx
