Lots of crafting today

I made Daisy the Rag Doll from a kit that came with the June issue of Crafts Beautiful. Her neck was quite wobbly so I reinforced it with a ribbon choker.  Other than that and adding a handmade with love tag, I sewed her as per instructions.  When stuffing her face i tried to give her nose a bit of definition but i'm not sure how well it worked.

I also knitted a little rabbits outfit of a pair of trousers, a short dress and a scarf.

This morning I made a bracelet from a celtic style slider and a plaited thong. I added a lobster style closure and may go back and add an extender chain as it is just over 7 inches.

As I was knitting I needed some stitch markers as the plastic ones I bought from Amazon all broke on first use.  Whilst making myself some, I made another set of 7 to list on Etsy.  I haven't listed these one's yet but I have others listed that I made a couple of weeks ago.

George the Teddy

The young couple that live next door to us are moving today to Stonehaven.  Their baby was born on the same day last July as my step-daughters little girl, so as a farewell gift I knitted this little teddy featured in this months "Let's Knit" magazine.

I added some little buttons to the top of the arms and the waistcoat and added a hand knitted with love label.

Started on a little cotton dress this morning in a beautiful summer colours variagated yarn.
Happy crafting!

Strawberry bootees

Was knitting a little pair of strawberry bootees featured in the August 2013 of the Woman's Weekly Craft Special.  I did the first one last August and the second one yesterday and they are two different sizes!  I appear to have missed out 4 rows on the foot and added an extra 4 rib rows on the cuff on the original.  So will need to knit another two to match each.

1st pair

Lots of unfinished items finished

Finished a few things that were only half made.

Firstly the little cashmere and cotton hoodie I started a month ago.  It is for my niece's baby which isn't due until September.  Originally it was started in just the cashmere silk merino yarn but it was too soft and the hem didn't sit properly so I redid it with cotton hems and hood.

I have a bundle of card bits that seem to go together but not yet made up so I finished a couple of those too.

                   

  

Also made 2 gift bags downloaded from card-making-downloads.com.

Started on my second strawberry bootee too, and next on the list is the Milly cardigan I started almost a year ago.

Lined the two ipad cases I made, finished a galaxy note sock and made a little dolly and her dress.

This one is on ebay this week

Made 20 bars of soap and shampoos, 12 of which were an order I received from ebid.net.

  

                                                                                                  

All in a busy crafting week

Happy Crafting!

Funky Fur Knitted ipad bag

This is this weeks make.  Using Funky Fur and a matching taupe DK yarn I knitted this up on 10mm needles.  I lined the bag with cotton twill and added a zip.  Although it is the perfect size for an ipad it would also pass as a handbag.

Once i've written it up I will upload the pattern to ravelry
