.. has requested that I make her a top and a cardigan ... using cotton yarn. This is something I have only used once before SO I thought I had better do some experimenting before I committed myself to an answer.
I had a go at this hippo ..
I LOVE IT xx lol x ..... And so does my daughter who has beaten off the grandsons and claimed it!
Of course I had to make some clothing.... well, a bathing suit!
LOL x Now I need to have a go at the knitting x I do find the cotton dries out my hands .. but I have plenty of hand cream x
Stay safe

... May did not turn out as I thought it would x I spent most of this last month helping to care for my dad x
He became ill and needed 24 hour attention. As a family we agreed with his wish to spend his last days at home, along with the GP and District Nurses we were able to make this happen x I like to think that he is now with my mum .. who was the love of his life x They met when she was 15, and he was 16 ,and, until she died 2 years ago they were ALWAYS together x
He died (at the age of 92) the day before, what would have been her birthday .. and knowing her .. she came and got him x
There has been a small amount of sewing and crochet going on .. , hopefully, I will be back to posting soon x
Stay safe ... and give your loved ones a hug and some time x

.. remember the piece of fabric from Sandbach Quilt group? Well I collected some scraps ..
.. YES I ironed them .. so MUCH more fun than irong clothes! lol
Then using stitch-and-flip I made my background..
( my design wall in this case .. was/is a cardboard box! lol )
NEXT time this project is on the programme I am guessing we will be discussing applique.. watch this space x
I was "in the mood" to continue SO, I started on a project that has been mulling around my head for a while. My mum was an avid counted cross stitcher .. and had several projects that she did not use for anything .. so, I have used one as the basis for a bag..
.. the "other" side was a continuation of the stitch-and-flip....
I ALWAYS imagine that I am going to use MANY MORE scraps of fabric than I actually do! The boxes are just as full! lol
I am VERY happy with the results x ...... we all need more bags-for-life x Hopefully mum would approve of my way of using her work .. and keeping it in circulation x I will be looking out some more of her folded projects x
Hope inspiration strikes you also x
By the way .. how did MAY creep up so fast!!?
Stay safe
