FNSI

Don't you just LOVE the sound of rain on the roof?  ... it's pitter pattering as I type ... a lovely Friday night for some knit or crochet with friends.

FNWF and A Sewing Weekend

Crochet won the day, or night, and a few more rows added to my rug while keeping my knees warm. It's always nicer knowing that friends are crafting away at the same time ... thank you Cheryll for hosting us.

Saturday dawned cold and wet so I ZOOMED out to my craftavan to catch up with friends from all over for some chatting, sewing and sharing ... thank you ladies.

I managed to complete 7 neck scarves and also a couple more rows to the crochet rug.

Sunday I made up the June block for MMQ and now I'm planning on 4 fabric hold-alls ... one for each gorgeous grandson. 

After some lovely rain it was nice to have the sun out today and get all the washing done, dried, folded and put away. My weekend is a wrap.

FNWF Time

 I'm looking forward to some knitting or crochet tonight and being in good company with everyone in blogland ...

It's not to late to sign up ... just visit Cheryll.

June Wrap

End of another month and a financial year...gosh!  A little bit of WOOFA progress and 1XMAS but sadly no OPAM. This is my crochet rug growing nicely.

Looks like we're in for a wet few days so fingers crossed for some serious sewing. Thanks Cheryll.

May WOOFA

This month I've been crocheting along, a couple of rows most nights and my rug is slowly growing. I found a plastic tub makes a great storage for the balls of wool and the rugs sits on top.

Then almost a fortnight a go, I finally made a start on my Daughter's wedding quilt. Currently sewing all the pieces into rows. I will have to take an update photo tomorrow.

Thank you Cheryll for keeping us on track xx

FNSI Crochet

After a busy weekend I'm here to report progress on my crochet rug. A few more rows and so it grows ... this is my main focus for evenings in front of the TV.

Previously ... MMQ block is complete and tucked away with the others ... a  fun fishy block.

This next project has been on my to do list for 6 years. The pattern and materials waiting patiently untill now so last Monday I got busy sewing and cutting.

Thank you Wendy for bringing everyone together and I look forward to June FNSI. I'll be blog hopping this week to visit and checkout what others have to share.

At Last It Grows and FNWF

 I'm not daring to look back at the year of starting this crochet rug, I'll just concentrate on the finish as I'm really glad I could pick up (and remember how!) where I had left off. Friday night I managed to full rows of colour, each colour is 2 rows. A total of 6.75 rows since picking it up again last Monday.

It's sets of 3 treble crochet with 1 chain between each ... in the 1st row of a colour, the middle one of each set hooks down to the previous row. I was given the  pattern from mum and she called it 'Cat's Tail' ... it may have other names like 'Houndstooth'.

This coming week will reveal the next block of my Murder Mystery Quilt. So far this year I've been completing the blocks before the end of each month ... last year I'd be rushing to get them done as the next one was being released ... so here is April's block (2 blocks of applique).

This quilt will be my 3rd mystery quilt and my favourite.

Thank you Cheryll for another lovely Friday Night.

Friday Night with Friends and Wool

 

Finally a little mojo has returned .... from where I do not know.  So along with Cheryll and friends, I will be joining in tonight with an old UFO and my crochet hook.

See you all soon x

Back From the Carribean

 I wish!  No such luck, just got busy and all that other stuff.  I have finished both the February and March blocks for the mystery quilt ... Love the colours for this year.

Our daughter, son-in-law and grandsons moved to their new home in early March ... happy and sad time for all and the house is so quiet now. I've been finding where I tucked away my craft and sewing things and still looking for some.

Now that Queensland is experiencing mandatory mask wearing, I thought I would stock up on a few masks for hubby and I and a few family members.  After whipping up a couple on Wednesday, I finished off a few more yesterday.

Another little finish was this wash cloth I started back in January ... I know slow and steady can win the race but there must be a limit!

In keeping up with a couple of monthly challenges, I found my Happy Houses blocks which are listed on the left under WOOFA. Also adding to the list will be Strips and Curves which I found last week while looking for elastic, and a project using old denim jeans. The washcloth is good for March -1 Xmas Item A Month and March OPAM. Let's hope my motivation hangs on.
