The Lighthouse

So, I've finally finished The Lighthouse!!

It has taken me exactly 8 months. Not that I was working on it all that time!

The embroidery details on it I did without marking them, so I'm really happy with it.

Now I just need to turn it into a doona cover, like I've been planning for 13 years!

And then I need to figure out what project to start next. I think I need something small ... a Tatty Teddy maybe?!

Craft Drought

Ok, so I haven't posted since October, but then I haven't really done much craft since then.

I've done 1 more ball of blue wool on my crochet rug. The thing with this is that it's too warm to work on it in summer, so it's just sitting there waiting for a cool day and time for me to pick it up.

I haven't done any more on The Lighthouse for ages. I really should finish it so that I can get on and finish the doona cover.

I have done a little stitching on African Sunset, but I have to be careful now that my sister has returned home. It is supposed to be a gift for her 21st birthday which is in August.

Hmm ... what else have I been doing?

Well I made some Christmas crackers. A few years ago I bought some kits, complete with the firecracker parts. Last year my sister made them up, but this year it's my turn.
I haven't done out tree ornaments either, in fact our tree is still boxed up in the shed. I have done a little decorating in my room though, and as I type there is Christmas music playing and I have a Christmas candle burning. As for the tree ornaments, I thought it was someone else's turn this year since I have done them for the last 4 or so years.

I think I just need to get off the computer and get crafting!
