In progress in August

What I’m up to so far this month:

July 2009 Hip to Hook by you.

Admiring yarn colours from Sarah London‘s Hip to Hook club and working on her Hawaiian Flowers motif.

Sue Ross BOM August 2009 - Whirly Gig by you.

Assembling my first Sue Ross Block of the Month (BOM) from Material Obsession – I nearly fainted when I received it, as it contains curved pieces, templates, needleturn applique and hand-piecing.  Gulp!  I’ve made a start – but I’m piecing by machine.

Crocheting a second (larger) red doily for my contribution to The Quilt Project.

Mod Sampler quilt top cut out ready to piece by you.

Combining the pieces for my Mod Sampler Quilt.

Procrastinating about crocheting this month’s Ravelry afghan blocks – neither of the patterns really inspire me, so I suspect this month will just squeak in once the pressure of a new month comes closer.

August 2009 Craft Mags by you.

Browsing some inspirational craft magazines – and look, there’s a beautiful quilt by Kellie on the cover of Homespun magazine!

Wool/cashmere & coat pattern for Stella by you.

Planning on making this coat from this beautiful green wool/cashmere for Stella for next winter, thanks to a very generous friend.

Drooling as I read the recipes in the Homemade, the Handmade Help Recipe Book.

Dreaming of having the time and energy to do everything I’d like to do and be all that I’d like to be.

How about you?
