Yarn Along-ing

Since last week’s Yarn Along I think I have knitted two rows of my bonnet (lol). Despite the lack of knitting progress I thought I would post because it helps me keep knitting on the mind!

Here is another shot of my lovely vintage pattern (sorry about the photo it is already dark here!).

 And I also have this gorgeous jumper that my mum knitted for Master D to show off!

My older brother had the same jumper knitted by our nana when he was around Master D’s age, isn’t that lovely 🙂

And here is the cause of my lack of knitting progress – my new toy, the scroll saw. It is lots of fun, but eats up any free time I happen to find, evidence available here and here.

I’m still reading A Clash of Kings which is keeping me well entertained 😉 What a plot! And I also managed to finish Beyond the Rainbow Bridge. I’ve passed it to Husband of Mine to read now. For me the book confirmed the path we have chosen for our little ones, and that is always nice to find. It has also inspired me to tell my kids more stories rather than read them. Master D seems to love my stories which is lovely and rewarding.

What are you knitting and reading at the moment? Joining Ginny and the gang for another Yarn Along.

Warmly, Kelly

A new toy (*ahem* tool) ~ and crafting on

A scroll saw has been on my wish list since I found out about them (which admittedly isn’t that long!).

Fairy doors in progress…

So when my cabinet maker brother-in-law visited recently I asked if, by chance, he had one. And – big smile – he does! And – even bigger smile – he has lent it to me!

So, my crafting to-do list already had lots of fairy doors and gnomes (that I was going to use a jigsaw for)…

More and more…

…but with the wonderful scroll saw there are so many more possibilities. I’ve now added trees and a couple of other ideas to that to-do list 🙂

Trees!

And 3 broken blades later I am getting the feel for it and loving every minute! Joining in with Nicole at Frontier Dreams for Crafting On 🙂

Happy crafting, Kelly
