So caught up in my self indulgence
I tell myself that I'm not hopeless
...
So wrapped up in my handmade ego
Well, knock me down a peg and watch me wallow
'Cause I need you
I need you
To struggle with me too
... tried my hand at making brioche last week. It’s quite a lengthy process as it has to prove in a fridge overnight. Lots of sugar and lots of marg in the recipe but it was very, very tasty 😋. The bread was still warm when I took this photo
it was a labour of love in a way but also a pleasure to do I would like to do more but with beads introduced in to the design as well next time ....... I always leave the backs of dresses open as it makes dressing a doll so much easier and I never use the dreaded Velcro always clear snaps ^__^
I never knew I had this many yarn colours until I made all these XD
and there's still some other colours I hadn't covered...
All ready and suitable for Lati Yellow
there is some of my sister's potpourri encased behind the lace,the velvet is something I found in her stuff after she died, I think she might have been planning a crazy quilt. Everything is attached to a scrap of Aida cloth.
Lost the plot. I've knitted a clock.

Improvised clock cosy from my warped mind. More details on my Ravelry project page :p
Well partner, this is what I ended up doing with those hexies. I hope you like it! The book is graph paper, perfect for quilt designing!
I used the Stitched in Color tutorial for this: www.stitchedincolor.com/2012/08/tutorial-journal-covers.html
Made for a swap between a few friends - the first thing I've made with primarily solids. I love it!
17" x 21" finished sized. The back is a Ty Pennington lime green floral print.

More versions of previous pillows I've made. Still using my Central Park layer cake. Blogged here: rebelhomemaker.blogspot.com/2011/01/more-um-pillows.html
Done...with time to spare! It's going to be hard sending this one off. It's one of my favourite things I've ever made. But I know it will be going to someone who will appreciate this sampling of fussy cuts, paper piecing, wonky stars, and HSTs...and I bet she'll recognize most of the prints I chose.
