This year being very organised paid off. Not only did I make the gifts, they got posted and will arrive in time for Christmas. The last week was one of relaxing and baking. Family birthdays and now its is time to get back to doing a lot more everyday stuff. With the cold weather, we can now get to sort out the inside of the house. Including hand quilting a lap quilt or two, over the course of winter.
Tried this recipe, was not sure if it would work, it did.
Traced the Christmas tree, it is now ready to for colour tinting, it is done with wax crayons
(see how, here). Make sure to scroll to the bottom of the page for tutorial.
Also pulled some older patterns out, it is time to do these.
Traced the outlines on freezer paper. Normally it is traced directly on to the heat and bond, before it is ironed on to the back of the fabric. Forgot to do this.
The grey yarn arrived. Will spend some time next year knitting with this yarn. It feels like bamboo once it is knitted.
Chocolate in the winter, is a great idea.
...especially when it is snowing.
chocolate is good any time!!
ReplyDeleteI have a McKenna Ryan pattern from a few years ago. I should finish that someday! I asked Santa for a light tablet, so maybe that will inspire me.
ReplyDeleteI'll take one of those chocolates, please.
