Tell me you did NOT start something else!?!?

I had a hankering (pardon the pun) to knit but there was a bit of a problem.

 Other than a bit of purl and plain I don't really know how.

I borrowed a book from the library and thought, stuff it, I'll just try anyway.

These are what I managed to make.

Teeny tiny Mary-Jane style booties.

I'm having a crack at a matching bonnet style hat although that has hit a daunting hurdle that will require much You-tubing to master. At least I have my capable instructor to help.

Or at least I did until he ran off with my retro needle cases and all of my Inherited-from-Nana knitting needles.

I even fed my new addiction (I can class it as an addiction already, I had knitting dreams last night!) with a few balls of the good stuff.... Thank you 30% off at Spotlight!

Back to some patchworky, quilting stuff tomorrow...unless I get caught up on Ravelry.....

Better Days

With my assistant on the floor I'm ready to sew.

I needed a 'Go-bag' to hold a couple of nappies and wipes for those days where we are unlikely to need the big nappy bag.  

I re-purposed a very badly made apron from years ago. Back when I didn't understand sewing speed control or the need to get a machines tension sorted.

The quality control tester has approved so I can claim and very small, very quick finish. Woohoo!!!

No more daggy plastic ziplock bag!

A huge storm rolled in this afternoon. Thunder, lightning and then the power went out.

It hasn't stopped raining for several hours and soon I'm going to need scuba gear to leave the house.

Weather like this calls for soup.

Minestrone just reheating now for my dinner.

Yum! 

My tired eyeballs aren't necessarily rested as the Monster is waking for feeds during the night again (must be huge growth spurt as he's feeding more than ever!) but feeling much better.

Thanks for the kind words lovelies.
