Projects

Well I promised a blog last night and it didn't happen... I'm sorry.

I have a good excuse though I promise... Hubby had been away for a week and returned Thursday night but was absolutely wrecked, so we spent some quality time together last night catching up on what had happened in the past week and, falling asleep on the couch as usual.

You can't blame us though... when we have the worlds most comfy couch.

I went to a linen party today and although it was linen and what I'm creating isn't, it still inspired me and has helped to continue to motivate me with my new endeavors. If you check out myKanga Crafts page on facebook I have uploaded some of my creations and, as my list grows so will the albums. One thing a couple of my friends said is that they like my Butterfly's, and think I should make and sell them as I made one as a gift and it is very muchly loved.

So this afternoon after the linen party I came home and was finishing off some cloth wipes I was making and then decided I would try and tweak my butterfly pattern and create another one... I struggled a bit in trying to simplify the construction of it and subsequently didn't finish the first one and just started on a second. I will finish both of them though and then stuff and upload pictures of them.

I have also made a couple of pairs of pants for my son creating a pattern from an existing pair... It didn't work out all that well as the material I used although beautiful on, was hard to sew. Second time around I adjusted the pattern and was using fleece (note to self, much easier to sew) however this pair have ended up too long unless in shoes and then really they are still a little bit too long. (I could shorten them... I realise this, I just haven't. However I have recently purchased an overlocker so could overlock the bottoms and then turn up and sew for that professional look.)

I gave in and bought a pattern, but it didn't twig in my brain until I got it out the other day to make more, that the smallest size I think from memory was a 4. So I'm back to adjusting my pattern again... I'll get there.

So things I'll be working on for the rest of the weekend... Butterflies, possibly some Bunnies and what I'm going to affectionately call the pants my son wears and perhaps I may begin to stock and sell Munchkin Bums.

Well I'm going to hop off now....

Kanga Out...

P.S. I had trouble getting this to upload to Facebook last night, but all is sorted now. So it is even later (so so sorry)... Just imagine while reading this that it is Saturday night and it'll become a little clearer.
