Liebster Blog Award :o)

Hello there peeps... How is everyone's Sunday going?!?
It's been a fairly relaxing weekend over here at chez Traci. There has been arts & crafts and lots of Spiderman - Wolverine -Hulk - Transformers movies, I do love a bit of bonding time with the boys. I am loving the holidays.

~~~~ NOW~~~
I HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR A LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD


I have been nominated by the lovely Juliette over at


Juliette is a mighty fine seamstress, and a great read, I love to catch up what she's been up to. Ever a inspiration for me, she has started to make her own patterns check out her shorts CUTE!! She has also just put up a tutorial for a fly zipper, it has fab pic's I can't wait to give it a go. I think It will come in more than handy when I get the confidence to do zipper trousers for the boys... But for now I shall stick to the elasticated waist!!

Stash bustin on the wool front!

 Oh dear I have been a bad blogger!!!

SORRY

I do have a vauge good excuse though...
I have been stash busting and stock growing, I plan to open a shop in November when my wee guys head off to school and are in full time. I also need to make some room in the newly made sewing room!! When I did go in to the new sewing room, I found a bin bag of wool. I mean how did I end up with so much?!?!?! I thought I only hoarded fabric! Alas it seems not... So I got to a little crocheting.

 This is what I have come up with so far - 1 circle scarf/snood, 5 flowers 6 wash cloths and 32 giant granny squares...

 Aren't these just yummy looking!!
MmMmMmMm...
They are made with 100% pure cotton, I just love 'em.

 I reckon my granny squares are gonna be chunky blankets, I have used 3 different strands and a 12mm hook. They are so lovely I might find it difficult to let go of!!

So what do you think of the colour combinations?!?! I can't wait to show you them all made up. Is anyone else planning shop openings or craft fairs this year?!?! Or are you just trying a little stash busting?!?!?

I'm off to watch spiderman AGAIN!!!! When my boys decide they like a movie they never tire watching it over & over & over!!

HAPPY SUNDAY PEEPS!
