Where did the summer go???




Well so much for me trying to keep up with posting on the blog this summer!!! I have ended up taking almost three months off - and really what did happen to summer?

We were fortunate enough to get not too many showers during our holiday in Wales, but it really has not been a good one.

Not had much time for making and certainly not finished all those items from the unfinished box!

Maybe when the schools go back in next week I will get down and get something done.

I did manage to make a few bags - the yellow and green one above I made from the leftover scraps from the Craftsy Stitch and Slash course. I did enjoy doing that course and would recommend it to everyone along with Stupendous Stitching. (Maybe I have been busy after all)

I also managed to knit and felt my first handbag and I am really pleased with the result. many thanks to Bev at Knitting 4 Fun who is the font of all wisdom when it comes to felted bags!!
I can certainly see me doing more of these in the winter!

Really fast to knit and quite a surprise when it comes out of the washing machine looking and feeling totally different to when it went in!!!
