The next in the Calendar collection... (more about this project here)
We welcome April..
I love the little Blackbird, the rather surprised Bunny and that Cat...
As for me I went along to patchwork/quilting group yesterday and started my first piece of patchwork, I thought I'd make a cover for my sewing machine out of some cotton sent from a friend in Canada. This idea may change...
I've cut my 4.5" strips and worked out the order that I will sew them together... after sewing I'll cut them up into another strip but this time creating the desired squares of 4"x 4"...
It was suggested that I cut out lots of 3.5" squares and sew them together but I just laughed....
Other projects on the go this week...
I bought 2 of these 50g Rowan Felted Tweed balls last year, I couldn't resist... the colours are so beautiful, recently I found a hat pattern I like so have started a tension square... find the pattern here in The Gentle Art of knitting.
I've also cut up an old felted jumper I found at a local charity shop to make a hot-water bottle cover. My last cover has totally disappeared... very strange as I live alone... but it is nowhere to be found, I've run out of even the most bazaar possibilities.... so another is being made...
I'm also coming ever closer to making some clothing... bought some beautiful fabrics recently with my birthday money... still building confidence for that new adventure...
And finally
Seen the new postal booklet... OMG !!
Watch out girls it's all change on everything... No packets, three holes to fit things through or a box sizes to fit things in...
I'd only just got to grips with the last lot!
As for the new leaflets layout... user friendly NOT...
I thought the last one was really straight forward and quick to use...
Thought I'd be sending a small but deep object by packet post £2.20 but no New system in place... cost me 40p more to send something of 125g second class standard parcel now everything is only insured up to £20 for any standard post too.
Sorry for the moan but it is all rather complicated... off for a cuppa...
Oh dear, I'll have an other go at getting my head round the whole thing later...
Goodness just looked out the window... snow flurry... thought at first it was falling blossom...
Till next time
