Helen's Far East Dress

Much like for our French holiday, I decided I needed to have some kind of character for a recent holiday to China and Japan. Again, I only managed to make one dress but this is it. I used this pattern, which is my new favourite thing and some fabric from the £1 place. This is me post-afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong.

Helen's Wedding Draught Excluder

Just what every newly-wed couple wants - a hand-knitted draught excluder! I actually think this is a much more romantic present than it first appears. No-one wants a chilly marital bedroom after all.....

Crafter Baby Shower

I have been ridiculously bad at posting lately so am playing catch-up now.

Back in August we held a special crafternoon crafter-shower to celebrate the imminent birth of the first crafter-baby (the lovely baby, Kit, was born on August 22nd all healthy and happy). We all made a bird from this pattern which I then put together to make a mobile. I'd like to say constructing it was done in a serene and capable manner but, in fact, it involved much stressing, wire hangers, embroidery hoops, superglue and cursing. Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and I'm sure Kit will love it when he can focus properly and appreciate all the hard work.
