a weekend of craftiness

So the past weekend saw me achieve so many things that my head is still spinning. And I didn't get pictures of everthing, not even one of the mess that was our dining room table and lounge room all weekend! However, I spent a good few hours reorganising and cleaning ready for my next burst of craftiness tomorrow. So what did I do? well as the photo's show, a lot of pincushions! why? i'm not really sure - they seem to be my fetish at the moment. First i started with the bottlecap pincushion tutorial found here and then moved onto the flower pincushion that was featured in whipup and then I decided to make some of my own versions (top right photo). I also made a new little doorstop for Miss L, because the Misses L & V in a moment of mischief destroyed her old one - we won't get into it! Miss L enjoyed the pincushion making and helped me stuff them. She then decided a little pink one was going to be her fairy cushion so alas no photo to be had of that one! I also started a new winter skirt for Lucy, but then got side tracked by some thrifting. I managed to score so many 'finds' that only a couple are included above. A plastic bag of stamps (top left photo), little chinese lantern and, some spacemen summer kid's pj's. I also brought home a pile of fabrics, a new wicker thingy for my knitting stuff, lots of wrapping paper, plate hangers, hair clips and ties for Miss L, and a new top. Phew! And then to finish off this galore of craftiness i finished a beanie for a friend (top photo, second in from left) and I started a new knitting project, which is a surprise - can you guess what it is? (see below)

So now I'm off to replinsh my glass of wine and enjoy desperate housewives....
