More Yarn bombing

Saturday is the Helensville show, a great fun day with animals to see, games to play, lots of stands doing all kinds of stuff. Also there is an indoor section with vegetables, flowers, jam making, baking and craft.
Tonight my family yarn bombed the outside of the shed that holds the indoor section, the idea being to bring the indoor section outside! A handful of knitters in Helensville have been knitting for a couple of months so we have a pretty good show.

 

We already have a home for the knitting after this weekend but that is top secret. I will post pictures when the knitting is in its permanent home.



Knitting and Jelly

My family have had a wonderful crafty weekend. It is our local A & P show next weekend so my children are busy making things to enter in the indoor section and I am knitting like crazy as I am going to do some yarn bombing of the show grounds. I have a few people around Helensville knitting as well so we should have a good display.
In the middle of all that our grapes are ripe so I decided to make some Grape and Pinot noir jelly. I made some last year and it is really lovely, the best bit is that it only takes 2 cups of Pinot noir so I can drink the last glass left in the bottle!

 

The tree is getting pretty busy.

A Cup Full of Love

Every year on Valentines day I make a heart for Kit, I try to do something different each year, sometimes its hard but this year I had the idea of making 3D hearts and putting them in a tea cup to make a cup full of love. And it only cost me 50 cents for the tea cup from the op shop!

A small bird landed in my tree this morning.

Skull in magazine

I have a project in the latest Down Under Textiles. I stitched this Day of the Dead skull for them at the end of last year but couldn't show it to anyone until it was published, the magazine is out now so here it is.

There are step by step instructions in the magazine, it was really good practice for the book.
