Happy New Year

Hi everyone

Happy New Year to you all.  I hope the year has started well for you.

2022 ended on a sad note for me with a dear friend passing away .... way too young!

Which got me thinking ...... I might close down this sewing blog, as I don't do much sewing or quilting anymore.   The cost of material/fabrics is the major factor in this decision - some fabrics are now over $32/m ...... I can't justify the expense for a hobby that I have lost interest in.

I have a huge cupboard of fabric that I will be going through and will attempt to sell on Marketplace.  I may keep some 'special' fabrics ..... you know the ones :) you just can't bear to part with them, as they remind you of a special someone or a special time.

Who knows, a 'clear out' may just what I need to get reinvigorated with quilting again!

I will still keep my cardmaking & photography blogs going, but for the foreseeable future, there won't be any new posts here for a little while.

Cheers to you all! 

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day - any day doing something you love makes it a good day ;-)

Happy Easter Everyone

Ooh, it's been a while ....................

I haven't set foot in the sewing room for quite some time :(

September WOOFA

Well, I got a bit of crocheting done while waiting for my car to be serviced :)

still working on the yellow blanket :)  I can't seem to find the photo I took of my progress, so I have shared the photo I took last time.

Spring is in the air ....... I got some much needed spring cleaning and I found homes for all the stuff that was on top of my sewing room surfaces - it is now sorted and packed away.  Now I can make more mess LOL

I confess, I am itching to get back into the sewing room ....... but I do have to tackle another area in the study/craft room first :)

that's it from me for now ....... check out what the other fellow WOOFA's are doing .... thanks Cheryll for hosting :)

July WOOFA - yay, I got some stitching done!

It's the start of a new month, and I am very happy to say I got some stitching done!

With the weather being lousy and lockdowns being enforced, I attempted to sort some of the sewing room .....

but then I came across some half finished baby blankets

So I bundled them up next to me and did a bit of 'mindless' crochet while watching a bit of TV.  This one I have done a variation on the '3 treble' block and have done '2 treble' in the rows and '2 x 3 treble' for the corners.

I am loving the corners!

Not sure what I will do with them when they are finished .......... baby days of our family are way past us ..... I might see if I can donate them somewhere.

Cheers for now, hope you all have a great month working on your WOOFA's.
