new year and some little promises to myself

To make something from each of my craft books, that have been bought given and collected over the years..

So thats the end of 2010. my hang over from new years eve is over too... i do hope that this year will see the start of Miss Ginger's Haberdashery - and i can face the fear!

it will need some heavy talks to get this shop at the right price...

on a simpler note i also plan to do a project from everyone of my craft books..my daughter got this book from a friend for christmas and i am making her the monkey in yellow

so much knitting to do - which does take ages but at least i have nearly finished the cardi below

For sewing, i am making this cushion, which is already coming on well and should be done today.

the hope will be that people can see what the projects in the books are like and then buy!happy new year to you all and looking forward to seeing all your crafting, sewing, beautiful items and vintage finds! xx

birthday books

it was my birthday last week, and my lovely friend Becky bought me this fabric book. i am of to buy some fabric today once i have decided which one i am going to make..Anyone got it and made something? i do like the little top and also the ruffled collar - not sure when i would wear it though.

my Fabulous Daughter book me the book below. it is really lovely to look at and i am really looking forward to reading it properly. some of the ideas are quite kooky, but kooky is good!

i got some more book which i will put up later, be nice to know if anyone has made anything from any of them. my friends and family know me well and bought good! felt lucky (and old!)
