Saturday

This weeks work. Pink bear finally finished. :0)

Monday

Saturday

Been a busy week, but, I have been working on my crafts. A new bear is in the making, it is a big bear. I have decided that my true bear making passion is for big bears (over I2 inches) and so, I am going to do a series of big bears.

Kangas watching is getting there................

Monday

Public holiday today. Spotlight are having a 20% everything, sale today and I got there at 9am, because my cross stitch hoop snapped and broke mid last week and I have done none since then because I hate working without a hoop. Now I have my new hoop (actually, I bought 2, because I have a habit of breaking hoops) I can continue with kangaroos watching.

I have not been idle these last few days. I finally finished off Petula bear and I have put her on Ebay to auction.

I framed a cross stitch that I finished stitching last month, in patchwork and I am going to make a bag out of it. I bought some batting at Spotlight this morning for when I quilt it.

As I am designing the bag as I stitch it, I have no idea what the finished piece will look like, but, I do know it will be a one of a kind bag. lol

I also put a few of my cross stitch patterns in PDF format so that I can sell them on Ebay and they can be sent to the buyers via email. They will be going up on Ebay in the next couple of days.

Oh and at Spotlight, I bought enough cottons to be able to kit up Kangaroos watching so I can sell it as a kit, once it is stitched.

See, I have not been idle. :0)

Wednesday

Tuesday

So busy, all the time and last night I woke up just after midnight. All I could smell was a funny burning, but it was outside as well as inside and I still do not know where it came from, but, I could not sleep, so, I folded all the midweek junkmail and it is ready to deliver in an hour from now.

This is good, because, I usually do not fold it till around now and that gives me no time to do any craft work.

Because I folded it some hours ago and went back to bed and slept for 4 hours, this morning, I got to finish this bear.

Well, finish him enough that he is complete. I still want to add some shading to him and then he can go on Ebay, but, that will be later. I have a really busy day today.

I need to deliver the junk mail, go to the gym, go to a class I am taking and then I have a 2pm appointment with someone. By the time I get away from there it will be 3pm and time to pick my son up from school, pick up the local paper, fold it and get it ready to deliver tomorrow morning......................

I will cross stitch tonight, though. Kangaroos watching is coming along very nicely. :0)

Monday

Finally started working on those 2 bears I cut out last week. Pink one should be finished by tonight. :0)

Now I am happy

Just finished this piece. It is much better than yesterdays effort and I am really pleased that the lines are all straight. This is huge for me. I used to not be able to sew anything straight and even though yesterdays piece looks ugly, the lines meet and are straight, as they are with this piece.

This one is not finished. I reckon this is the start of the makings of my first real quilt.

Sunday

Did more work on kangas watching, yesterday.

Today, I am doing more patchwork. I want to fix that disgusting piece I did yesterday.

Trying

Ugh, this photo is of a days work. I have dreadful trouble matching patterns and shapes. I am dyslexic when it comes to matching them, I am sure. The trouble has even been picked up in professional testing, but, still, for some silly reason, I am fascinated by putting together shapes and patterns.

Anyways, photo is of todays work. Shockingly bad, but, practice will hopefully make my patchwork better.

It is so frustrating. No matter how hard I try to get patterns and shapes to match, I always become hopelessly confused. But, I aint giving up.

2nd March

Been mainly working on kangaroos watching this past couple of days.
