Over The Rainbow!

 Absolutely amazing show, a real pleasure to watch each week.  Loved the glamour and the choice of songs  and yes I did shed a tear when the girl I favoured was voted out. I would sit on tender hooks wondering what was going to happen on the Sunday, who would stay and who would go.  To see all the girls progress throughout their time on the show, feel their joy or sorrow at the judges constructive criticism , watching their talent blossoming was awe inspiring.  I will miss this programme each week but do you know what my O/H and I have agreed to purchase tickets to come and see the show, I can't wait. squeeeeeeeee!!

Congratulations to Danielle and Sophie for getting into the final (just between you and me, I voted for you both in the semi final). I jumped off the sofa (sad, I know) when the two of you got through to the end. I think the both of you are truly amazing and I could never have made the decision as to who should be the winner, as in my eyes the two of you are.  Sophie I will definately be watching out to see what shows you appear in and Danielle break a leg girl, it's bad luck to say the other one (I can't get the song out of my head 76 trombones traaaa laalaaalaaa!).  Your families should be very proud of you both. All the best!

Mouthwatering!

Pattern:  Chloe by Alana Dakos
Yarn: Anchor Magicline colour 1740
Needle Size: 5mm
Knitted top down, all in one piece.  The pattern is fantastically written and easy to read.
I wanted something different to go with my little nieces present, plus the yarn has been sitting in my stash for what seems like forever, and you might say, I  have been itching to use it since I bought it many months ago. It is truly a dream to knit with, the colour changes are so mesmerising.  I just have to search for the ideal buttons now to finish this little project off. Sigh......

Summerlin for Nieces Birthday!

I've been busy over the last week or so making these pretty little things for my niece. She will be 4 on Tuesday.

Knitted bib with crochet flower decoration and crochet flower button.

Dress number 2.

I wish I was wee again to wear them. This is such a lovely pattern, it's on Ravelry and is called Summerlin.

Handmade Quilt

I've been very busy lately, as you can see, busy cutting up fabric and generally making a mess ( my O/H word not mine).  The mess is putting all the pieces together to create this:


Handmade Kids Quilt. This is the first quilt I have ever made and even though it's not perfect, I'm loving it.

Little bunnies taking a stroll!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this little quilt when it's finished.  I was going to give it to one of my nephews or niece but after discussing with my O/H and mum, I'm going to keep it for my own little one :0
