I absolutely love keeping my hands busy with all varieties of crafty goodness.
Over the years I've learnt to sew, variety of bead work, jewellery making, scrap booking and card making.
My biggest pride and joy however was teaching myself to knit.
I've been knitting for about 18 months now and it's relaxing, enjoyable and satisfying.
I've made an array of items including baby clothes, children's toys and jumpers for my mum's dog!
My friends are all pretty impressed. (And yes, I get more old lady jokes than I actually care for...)
Just lately I've been missing sewing and after watching episodes of the great British sewing bee, I wish I had taken up the offer of a sewing machine as a christmas present now!
I want to up-cycle, repair and tackle a huge variety of things...I'm itching to turn one of my beloved maxi dresses into a skirt. (Either I got too big or it got too small... but my boobs are not cooperative when I try to put it on as a dress.)
I also want to create complete outfits for babies, matching dresses and trousers for the jumpers and cardigans I have knitted.
Come on... how cute would that be as a gift?!
Hopefully over the next few months I can get the cash together for a few days out with my girls...
And treat myself to a sewing machine!
Peace out ✌
