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

A few new crafty things

I have made a few more crafty things in the last couple of weeks.  All baby things.

Some little cream and white acrylic baby mitts.

2 headbands, one with flowers

pure cotton newborn baby hat and a two tone baby hat.

The pink is pure cotton and the white is bamboo cotton.  This is on Etsy as is the multicoloured one.

This pattern is from this months Let's Get Crafting Knitting & Crochet magazine.  The yarn was in the kit that came with it.  Think I might do it in cotton as a strawberry too

Happy Crafting!

Just a few cards

The card I made for Pete's birthday.

and the card my daughter Ami made

Not a lot of crafting going on

I have not done a lot of crafting since my last post.  I have been tidying up my craft area and sorting things out. I have spent a lot of time photographing and listing items in my eBid stores.
 I did make 2 cards, one for a friend and one for my hubby. That is the extent of my crafting this week.

This is the one for my friend.  It was cut on the Cameo using a Lori Whitlock file and I think the background paper is from the sugar & spice range.

My cards for sale can be found at http://maelbrigda-handmade-cards.ebid.net There are over 1000 to choose from and most can be personalised.

The other item I made this week were these guitar pick earrings for my daughter.

I aim to do several more of these in different colours, some with guitar charms in front and others with music notes.  I love the effect of these ones.  The plain ones are not as nice but are much cheaper.

Well back to the grind.  Happy Crafting!

Another half done project finished

well almost.  Was trying to design a sweater using up the extra balls of King Cole Splash I bought for my daughter Ami's hooded scarf. However I ran out of yarn and ended up buying another ball.  I still have a zip to add at the neck to finish it off but this is it.

It was supposed to be 20 inch but finished measurements are 18inch unstretched. I am going to put the pattern on Ravelry and Etsy
Happy Crafting till next time

Finished Marley's Hoodie

Finally finished the toddler hoodie I started last August.  Unfortunately it will no longer fit the wee girl I started it for. It is in two shades of Woolcraft double knit with toggle buttons.  It took just over 2 balls to complete.
