Finally finished the bolero and fundraising for Lyndall and Alopecia

Hi all, where does the time go!!!  Hope you are all well.  Still no card making in my free time I have been knitting and FINALLY finished Rosanna's Bolero/cardigan, not the fastest of knitters lol!  Got it finished in time for her to go out to a party on Saturday night.

 

On my beautiful DD

A closer look at the knitted lacey edge, I think I should have stretched it more when sewing it to the cardigan, was going to undo it but Rosanna likes it how it is PHEW!

FUNDRAISERS

Whilst trying to catch up on blogging (a couple of weeks ago, sorry for not getting posted sooner) I visited the gorgeous Cheryl's blog and read about a lovely lady called Lyndall who is battling Cancer yet again!! Cheryl is organising a fundraiser event, if you could send Lyndall a card or would like to help with the fundraiser evening, please go see Cheryl's post for full details and whilst there have a look at her beautiful creations. 

Lyndall and her three year old son

This is the link to the fundraising blog where you can also buy some fantastic digi's that are for sale.

Also Mandy on her blog 'A Sprinkling of Glitter' has some blogaversary candy and surprise candy also to people who send Lyndall a card.

Also over on Kellie's blog I read about Heidi (her five year old daughter) and herself having their hair chopped to raise funds for Alopecia.

More garden news for those who are interested.  This is why I haven't got much crafting done lol!

Finally got all the sand down and the boys had fun using the wacker to make it firmer, added more stone/rocks and changed the colour of the path, put some flags down but found when we put the different colours together they are slightly different in size, so having to start again and leave a 2mm gap on some and not on others, gonna be fun lol!

Enjoy the rest of your week, happy crafting and take careX:)

Our Crafting Day out and the garden

Hi all

Hope you are all well, sorry for being AWOL, but things have been busy here (not complaining nice to have the work at the factory) then been doing more gardening whilst the ground is soft lol!  Paving is next on the list so we have all been busy drawing the pattern of the flags, we are going with a checker board made bigger so snakes and ladders can be played and I may have a butterfly pattern under the washing line.  Definately not enough hours in the day LOL!  So been too tired to craft.

Rosanna and I had a day out and went to the Craft and Quilting Show in Melbourne, FANTASTIC day we had so many talented people out there.  We each took three classes, the first we made these very blingy watches, bet you know whose is whose lol!  I then had a go at beading (first time) quite chuffed managed this much of a Lariat necklace, while Rosanna made a T-Shirt Bag, then she made a beautiful bookmark and I went and made the T-Shirt Bag, we managed a little bit of shopping too, we have decided next year we definately have to go for two days at least!
