crochet, fabric stash, op-shopping, patterns, planned projects, sewing

One week into December and I’m sticking to the vow

The vow of “no online fabric shopping in December”, that is.  But it’s been so difficult!  Lara Cameron of Kirin & Co has/had some beautiful new fabrics for sale, and those online fabric stores keep on having discounts!  Lucky for me, some of the November shopping has just arrived.

And up close:

These four are from a range called “Full Moon Forest”.  The bottom two are destined to go into another dress for Clare.  If you look closely, you can find owls, rabbits, fish and bees.  And just check out these beautiful ribbons.  Sigh!

The patterns below arrived as well.  The centre pattern is the dress I’m going to make for Clare from the Full Moon Forest fabric; a couple of Frenchy bags are in the works for gifts as well.

And the local op-shop came up trumps, once again!

Baby crochet patterns!  Yay!  I’ll add these to the ever-expanding project list.

And for this weekend: after a heavy day of socialising today (picnic lunch with friends and dinner out with family) I’ll be back into it tomorrow trying to complete Christmas gifts – four capes, a bag, Christmas dresses for the girls – oh my goodness!
