I'm 50. This is my Gap Year!: 2013-07-14

http://handymandy61.blogspot.com/2013_07_14_archive.html

Thursday, 18 July 2013. Halloooo, well here I am another year older and supposedly wiser! My friends are all a little bit wiser, poor things, they learned very recently that I had decided any gifts for my birthday had to be homemade! I have determinedly made homemade gifts all year and decided I would test my friendships! Grainne shocked us all, sorry Grainne but you did! Last but not least, Tricia had us all reminiscing and brought tears to my eyes with a collage of photos from all our times together.

Monday, 7 April 2014. Recycle Men's Old Shirt. It was amazingly easy, made some bias binding with my bias binding maker, no need to make buttonholes I just used the ones there, sew a couple of seams and Voila, a cute little dress! The knickers were so easy but they did use up a lot of the shirt, I guess the bigger the shirt the better. I will definitely give this a go again and now want to try and make something for little boy babies. An update on my UFO list. I have enough left to do a cardigan too.

Wednesday, 1 May 2013. I did take on a big challenge last month, I had read somewhere, (Pinterest has a lot to answer for) that to boost your potential you should say "YES"more often. Well, that same day I made a pact with myself to say, "YES" for a week, a friend wanted to meet me and ask me something! She asked if I would make a First Holy Communion dress for her 8 year old niece! What could I do? Cast on 106 stitches work 2 rows in garter stitch. It has taken me a while, mainly because I had to keep p...

Yesterday, this problem was solved! All I could understand from the couple was that it had been the Grandma's sewing table for many years, as I knocked against it it seemed very heavy, could there possibly still be the original machine inside.YES! Wait till you see what was tucked away inside. The machine is still in good work...

I'm 50. This is my Gap Year!

http://handymandy61.blogspot.com/2013/08/baby-hoodies-this-month-has-been-so-hot.html

Thursday, 8 August 2013. This month has been so hot and glorious here in Germany that I haven't really sat in the sewing room much at all, I have become addicted to knitting hoodies for babies. I ordered King Cole Candystripe yarn from wool4less. And after some confusion I ended up with King Cole Candystripe and King Cole Comfort. What's a girl to do? May as well knit it all up. I have knit with Comfort first and am looking forward to trying the Candystripe. Enjoy the Summer everyone! Orrow and change a ...

Heres the first photo, everything in this photo is an U. My second photo is an attempt to explain away the mass of UFOs.
