I have not posted pictures of my cats for a while, this is in the afternoon, in the family room Tilli on top, and meg was looking at her from the floor.
Very cute pictures.

Married

My Nephew Joce got married today, The weather was lovely. Jo the Bride was radiant, The other lady in the picture is Joce's sister, Romy, who is expecting her first baby in the first week of January. I love them all to bits! They got married in the City and everything went very smoothly. The reception was at a place called Kokoblack and we had a High Tea. It was a really lovely and special occasion.

News

Little bag Progress shot. This is this mornings stuff. 10 bags done, 10 to go.
10 hair bands done, 10 to go.

Finished

Cushions are done, Just need to hand stitch the bottom opening closed.
I think they turned out OK.
My knitting needle roll finished.
I am happy with the way they turned out. Time to clean the sewing machine then lunch, then off to Spotlight for some fleecy fabric and then back to charity sewing. I am having a lovely day, i hope you are too.

More Re-Makes

More sewing stuff today. I will be turning these two T.Shirts into cushion covers.
They belong to his girlfriend and a great way to add a bit of colour to your room using clothes you do no longer wear.


I will also be making myself a knitting needle holder. This pillow sham is also new and unused but a different size. I can make a pocket that faces the other way adding black elastic so that i can hold my crochet hooks.

Needle Case

My niece has got the knitting bug now, and she dropped by yesterday and asked if w could make her a knitting needle roll. This is what i did. I had in the linen cupboard a brand new unused pillow sham. It was the wrong size for our pillows but i loved it cos it was quilted. I folded it up to the size i needed, ruled stitching lines and sewed. adding elastic to one side in loops.
Finished half an hour later, a quilted knitting roll that cost me only $5.

Chester the Cat

I have just discovered that this pattern is designed by Cheryl Ross and is called Chester the Cat and is in a magazine called Quick and Easy Crafts Number 4.
I would love it if anyone knows her or how to contact her cos i would like to make them for the K.Mart Wishing Tree. I have fallen in love with it.
