Weekly round-up


I can't believe it's already time for another weekly round-up! Man, time flies!
This week has been a little more productive than last, or at least I have a few more finished projects to show for myself.
I'm sad to announce I had a wee accident with my digital camera this week, which ended in it dying a very painful death. While I will miss my dear Sony dearly, it was a pretty good excuse to upgrade to a slightly newer, flasher Canon model I've had my eye on for awhile now. Having a more expensive camera I decided it was probably time to start taking better care (hmm.. did I mention the wee accident involved a falling camera?) so I whipped up a wee padded case for my new friend. After another wee accident (this time the finger kind) I now have a cute little case in fabric that matches my nappy bag. Sweet.
I am working my way through some WIPs for etsy, and these skirts were meant to be in this weeks update, but will have to wait for next week due to a lack of model. So pleased to have them finished though!






I did, however, manage to get pictures taken and all set and ready to add this bag and five special brooches to my Etsy shop this evening (well, it's after midnight so I can only juuust say I did it this evening!). The brooches were my little secret project from last week. They are wee appliques done from sketches I made of some of my Nanas (bless her) teacups, onto teacuppish floral fabrics and popped into thrifted mini embroidery hoops. I am quite fond of them, personally, and I hope you like them too!

I also managed a bit more on the yoyo quilt and finished up the wee pants for Otto. No knitting going on at the moment as it's just too darned hot.
