A crafty weekend ...

... so new stash needs new storage right?? My growing crochet supplies were getting really messy in a plastic carrier, so I decided to make myself some storage. I had this lovely Cath Kidston fabric in my neglected pile of fabric and found a pattern for a project bag on All People Quilt. I'd seen something similiar on etsy.com with a flat square bottom which would have been better, but this does the job just fine.
I also wanted to make a case for my hooks and in amongst my fabric I had a tote that I had started quite a few years ago, but never finished. So with a bit of reconstruction and some help from these instructions, I came up with a matching crochet hook roll.

I really enjoy sewing and must remind myself to do it more often, it was my number 1 pastime before discovering scrapbooking.

Onto a hat for DD2. She choose some brown wool, so last night I set out on making a Brownie Hat. When she tried it on this morning she declared it too itchy and not like the picture of the one she had seen in the Next Directory!!!

So I've claimed it for myself and added the flower this morning (DD2 hadn't wanted a flower on hers). That's my Sunday Morning look (weekend exhaustion)!!!


I had a parcel from Scarlet Lime, finally!!! Got my replaced December and the new January kit, so I might do some scrapping this week!!!

Lastly, I've had a lovely award from Lizzie - shall pick that up this week, thanks Lizzie!
