I'm still here

Hi, so sorry have been very slack lately, OK for several months. But I'm trying to get better. If I aim for a routine, it might work. But I'm not about to disclose what it is just in case I fall off blogland again.

Have been doing loads of sewing since we've finished the pineapple picking in the school holidays. I don't think I'm burnt out yet, but have been waiting for it too happen. I'm off to Brisbane this weekend for my girlfriends birthday. I made a new coat to wear, it turned out a bit big, so might have to make it again but in a smaller size. What do you think? I love the fabric's they are a bit retro. Yummy yummy.

I also made a table runner and diary cover in black, white and red. I'm a bit into red at the moment, and I just love the black and white shoe fabric.

I also made this basket out of some scrap wool, brushing up on some crochet before I do some real stuff for the scrumble swap about to start. Can't wait to find out my jewel colour, and then I can knit and crochet until I've done my required amount.

Anyway off to rescue the roast beef from the oven.

As you can see my step 3, 9 patches are wrong! I've only just realised as I'm trying to put it all together and the checkerboard effect doesn't work! I think I'll probably just make some new ones and put the others in my ufo block basket, they will get used eventually. Wish I'd picked this mistage up sooner.

I do like my colour's though and will post photo's of my other blocks when they are fixed.
