So i would like to present my first ever piped cushion. I love it so much, its the right colours for me and its also (if i do say so my self) really well made! I'm so so proud of it. Its hard to get the hang of, i found, but once you get it its a fab skill to have. </span></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Ive defiantly caught the sock knitting bug now, i finished my first pair of sock last Thursday and since then Ive completed one more with a beautiful lace pattern on it. I have been so excited about knitting the socks that i decide to try spinning my own sock yarn as well. It has been hard as i have never spun anything this thin before but after a few bobbins of thicker yarn i now have some very thin yarn ready to become a sock! i also just love the colours. I'm not sure how easy it is to see in the picture but it has a few streaks of shin through it as well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Sooooo today I was planning to post some pictures of some place mats that i have been making, however, my sewing machine has decided that on the last but one place mat (of eight) that it no longer wants to use the cotton that i have been using. Very frustrating! Any way so i thought i would show you a few things that i have been working on 'just for me' instead!<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2IiXaljCI/AAAAAAAAAIs/yARX8MTrhkE/s1600/IMG_1662.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2IiXaljCI/AAAAAAAAAIs/yARX8MTrhkE/s320/IMG_1662.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>So to start with, for Christmas i was lucky enough to receive a brand new computer. Its very lovely, however I've never had a desk top computer before so i don't have a mouse mat. So i tried my hand at some crazy quilting and made my self this mouse mat. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2LHeChdXI/AAAAAAAAAI8/lYE6i5KgrDg/s1600/IMG_1674.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2LHeChdXI/AAAAAAAAAI8/lYE6i5KgrDg/s320/IMG_1674.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I wanted something fairly original and quirky so i chose this fabric from my stash and stitched over some of the pattern to create some crazy quilting.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2JGe29RQI/AAAAAAAAAI0/ki_vduqDrtY/s1600/IMG_1664.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2JGe29RQI/AAAAAAAAAI0/ki_vduqDrtY/s320/IMG_1664.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Secondly I have recently been teaching my self to spin using a spinning wheel. I have been trying to get to a spinning group which is held every first Thursday of the month but something has always come up or it has snowed so i had no way to get there! Anyway so there has always been something! So i brought a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Start-Spinning-Everything-Need-Great/dp/1596680652/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294830624&sr=8-1">start spinning</a> which was really helpful but i found the most helpful thing was to watch spinning tutorials on youtube. I could then use the book to simply remind me how do do certain things.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I don't think I'm doing to badly for a complete beginner. I even made my first hat from hand spun wool the other day, however it was snapped up by a friend too quickly so i don't have a photo at the moment. But i will get one.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2I04Z3zeI/AAAAAAAAAIw/E0q8BiCWyHw/s1600/IMG_1670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/TS2I04Z3zeI/AAAAAAAAAIw/E0q8BiCWyHw/s320/IMG_1670.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>And lastly I am attending a knit-a-long next Tuesday hosted by <a href="http://www.imake.gg/">imake</a> in Guernsey. We will all knit socks, most people attending have never knit socks before. Unfortunately for me that includes me! I don't like the idea that i can't just pick up the pattern and away i go. I read the pattern (with difficulty but i will explain about that later, funny story) and shock horror i didn't understand half of what it was asking me to do. So not being able to cope i had to start my sock before the knit along so it at least looks like i have always know what i am doing! It is a very basic pattern but i am actually fairly happy with how it has come out so far.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>Unfortunately the toes fit Steve better than they fit me! Very sad but i think if i promise to make some more in a slightly more manly colour then he will let me keep my very first pair of socks.<br />
<br />
Ah yes the funny story that i promised... when Martine sent us the pattern to have a look over before the knit-a-long she attached it as an image but it was upside down. I have an ipad and kept turning the ipad over to try to view the pattern and it kept flipping so it was always the wrong way. It took me a while before i gave up and printed it. Is that not a definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. <br />
<br />
Anyways that's all form me today<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading<br />

<br />
So after a very long break I am back and in a very bloggy mood. This year my new years resolution is to blog more! I have a lot of very exciting things that are just starting and I think it is important to document all of those things!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I will be introducing new product lines via this blog. and this blog will be under going a make over itself (although I'm not sure how I will be doing that yet, it WILL happen) </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I'm also very interested in a website called <a href="http://pinterest.com/">pinterest</a> at the moment. I have been finding some very good ideas for my new house on there along with beautiful crafty things and recipe inspiration. It is actually where I got the inspiration to make my first macaroons! I was very very nervous as I had heard so many horror stories about making them, but luck was defiantly on my side and some how I managed to make some fairly successful first macaroons.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The shells should be smooth and shiny and they should have feet which i learnt is the bubbly part at the bottom. (i was way too over excited when i saw that mine had this)</div></li>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/S7xw85MYCpI/AAAAAAAAAGs/M8d8JgNpwv4/s1600/sheep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nt="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XYA6o9E0OYo/S7xw85MYCpI/AAAAAAAAAGs/M8d8JgNpwv4/s320/sheep.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">i found that wool is a fantastic material for growing plants.</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Verdana;">it holds moisture (so you can forget to water it and it will not be a problem)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana;">it can be used straight from the sheep which takes the nutrients that are found in the wool, such as green matter, to help the plants grow</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana;">it protects the seeds from weeds and any other nasties that might damage them before they have a chance to grow</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana;">it gives the seeds a protective casing and can start grewing without planting, the wool gives the seeds everything they need </span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Verdana;">... and anyway, IT GREW! i watered 2 of my seed capsuals before i left for easter (thursday 25th march) and i came back this morning and they have grown! In not sure exactly what i planted in this one :-s it could be a sunflower seed which would be good, this just adds to the excitement of waiting for it to flower :-)</span><br />
