Not-So-Slave Labour

My mum makes better clothes than she takes photos.

More Yo yo's!

3/4 inch finished. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. Made from a few pieces out of the stack of 1930's 2.5inch squares I have left over from something else. I was going to only make pink, purple and green ones, but now I can't decide.

Finished!

Woo! I knuckled down and suffered through the hand pain to finish this. Now I just need a large water proof bag to send it in and then it off to Mum.

On to the next binding!

Two Good Excuses for Not Crafting

Number 1. Going on holiday.


Number 2. Living in Brisbane.


This is above the area where I was going to spend today cleaning up, assembling some more ikea shelves and then storing my ufo's. This doesn't actually look bad at all, only a little bit of water so far, because the problem started in the lounge room, on the other side of that wall. I'm very glad that I procrastinated about cleaning my room now.

In actual crafty related news, I did finish the quilting, but didnt get the binding made or attached. While on holidays I did not much at all, but managed a grand total of 32 yo yo's. (Though, in the two days after coming home, made 39). This leaves the 'to be made' count somewhere around 250. More than half way there!

Bad Blogger make for a Good Quilter

While I'm frantically trying not to start anything new, it makes for bad blogging. For the past week I have been working on the quilt in the background of this post, and as I speak, only have 3 rows of quilting to go. Sorry, I though I had posted a photo of this before, but as it is under the machine at this moment I am not pulling it out to take a photo! You'll just have to wait for the binding to go on...

I'm going on a mini holiday on Thursday, and was hoping to take it with me to weave in all the ends, and sew down the binding, so we will see if it makes it to the beach with me!

Kaffe's Midnight Garden

I made a cushion for a challenge at Peg's Place. The cushion had to use 80% or more Kaffe Fassett fabric, and incorporate a yo-yo. I won Viewers Choice.

And I'm out of my pre-cut bits! Time for some more cutting. I'm about half way through my pinks and purples, but I can't really notice them in it!
