In my creative space this week I am working on my name tag for the big swaperama. Once it is finished covering up my partner's name, I think the crocheted ric rac will go around the inside of the ruffle to cover the stitching.
We are painting eggs with the local school holiday program.
I have just cut out the pieces and started stitching together a pair of pants for Miss Jazzy. These two bits go from the waist (under the waist band), to just above the knee. The pink sheety bits peeking out are the pockets.
I am sewing grey borders onto my grannies.
I am considering this as the start of the back of the cushion. I am not convinced though.
And I am crocheting this fancy trim to be sewn on the pants above.So what are you working on today?
Why don't you head on over to Kootoyoo and pop in your link.
My head's spinning Kate ... how do you manage to get so many ace things done?! I particularly love those granny squares ... they are really pretty.

ReplyDeleteI feel a bit woozy over everyones great pincushion swap ideas.... I have just got such a block with mine.... I think your crochet bakc looks tops. x
ReplyDeleteYour level of productivity is quite awe-inspiring! I really don't know how you manage to make so many things, with three girls and a farm to run as well. And what you make is good stuff, too!
ReplyDeleteGood gravy you are a busy bee! What colorful and lovely things you are working on. Might I ask what pants pattern you are using? Is it from the SCKL book? I love all the vintage bits you incorporate.
ReplyDeleteWhy does the top one look like a red poo?
ReplyDeleteI still wonder how you have time to do all the crocheting and sewing :p
ReplyDeleteSewing alone is taking so much time!
I have a quick question tho.. are crocheting yarns different from knitting yarns? Or are they just the same?
Loving the grey border on those gorgeous granny squares and all the wonderful colours going on. Gorgeous ric rac

ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeletejust started to look over your blog, so pretty! Live the INSA skirts you made! and crocheting - I wish I knew how! it looks so vibrant and nice!
Happy Passover!
I’m so glad to see you pincushion is still a work in progress. I was starting to have a panic with all of the finished ones popping up everywhere! Mine is well underway, but has had some technical difficulties. Your potential back is looking great as are all of the projects on the go. I can’t wait to decorate eggs with Little Guy, but I think he will be more into it next year!
ReplyDeleteSo much great stuff at your place as always! We're hoping to paint some eggs with the Little Mister tomorrow - should be fun (and messy!). Have a great Easter! Nic
ReplyDeletewhat a colourful space you have, love the trim and the blocks are just stunning! What pattern is it?
