Back again

I can't believe it is so long since I blogged. I have had  atrip to Brisbane for a memorial service which was sad and happy. Sad that my lovely daughter in laws father had passed away. He was a lovely man. Happy because I got time to spend with my children their partners and mygrandchildren.

I have been busy too I finished gowns and nappies for the hospitals NICU. I have also made some cards for charity auctions and sewn an owl and a bag for a friend. Will upload pics of those tomorrow.

Sewing

Today I am going to sew, the local hospital is in need of gowns for the premmies in the neonatal intensive care unit. So I have cut out some little gowns and now just have to cut out the liners. Then I will make some larger ones. They also need cloth nappies but they will have to wait for another day. I will post some pics when I get them finished.

Back again.

I had a productive day yesterday listening to a book and knitting. I have been a bit bored with Scrapbooking and card making lately and needed a change.So I have been knitting along withe the beanies I have made for the Miracle babies org I made three pairs of booties which I will probably donate to the Womens shelter one the weather is cooler. I still have yarn here so can make some more and probably some little sweaters too.
I have also been doing some sewing as I have 7 pay it forward gifts to make as I don't want the recipients to see them I will not bee putting photos p until all gifts are compete, posted and received.

These are the beanies I made

and these are the little bootees
I have also made 30+ cards which I have donated to the salvos.Here is a page I scrapped of my grandson playing inline hockey

slack again

I don't know where the time goes I had good intentions of keeping my blog up to date but that good intention has fallen by the wayside. I hope to do better in the future.
I am having problems deciding what to do I am a little bored with scrapping and card making so have been doing some knitting and am about to start sewing.
I have been knitting beanies for the Miracle Babies group and thought I would sew some gowns for them too. I would also like to sew some nappies for the Nappies for Angel Babies group as well.If I get time I will make some dresses to send to Africa. Would be nice to make dresses for a change I have 6 grandsons.
Will take photos of the beanies over the weekend and upload. Not much else happening.
My son has moved to Bundaberg to be closer to his son and I will miss him and our chats heaps.
Thats about it for now will try once again to post more often

2012

2012 is now here and am I am wondering what this year will bring for everyone. My hope is that it will be a good year for all.
I have now made my cards ready for craft group I have made a birthday and Christmas version of each card. I hope that the ladies like them. I have been making a journal for me to doodle in. I have used some grunge paper for the cover and created quite a nice flower from a glassine bag. Will take a photo when cover is complete.
These are the cards I made

New Year

The new year is coming closer and 2011 is coming to an end.What a year it has been too, I think there are lots of people who will be happy to see the year pass without further incident.
What will 2012 bring I wonder good health and happiness I hope especially to my family and friends some of whom have had a difficult 2011.
No pictures of any craft to show as I have been sorting and trying to organise my unit. It has also been pretty hot and very very humid.

Merry Christmas

So Christmas is here once again I hope everyone is having a good day. I was up at 5.30am because my pesky cat decided it was time to play. Once I was up and made a cuppa she decided maybe it was time to sleep LOL.
I have spoken to all the family, had breakfast and am now deciding what I will do with the rest of the day although I am happy to have a nice quiet day.Think I may make some cards.
My eldest son is coming over later today and tomorrow I will head over to my daughters place.
Hopefully will have something to show tomorrow but then maybe not as I am having a bit of a clean out at the moment
Take care, if you travelling stay safe.
