This and That

So the cross stitch is at the framers and I'm excited to get it back. I've been doing little things. Today we found a chair on the roadside and I recovered it for use as the base of the high chair. I have also been working on making an eye patch for Isabel. The medical tape is pretty harsh on her skin so I found on a blog a pattern to make one out of felt. So I made a first prototype but it is too big. But I think it will work well when I get the size right.

I have also started practising some crochet but I've realised that the yarn I am using is too dark and I'm have trouble seeing what I'm doing. I have hopes of making a hat for Josephine.

The best and most exciting news is that I have just bought a sewing cabinet that holds both my sewing machine and overlocker. Ebay is great. I only picked it up this afternoon so I haven't tested it out yet. Happy early birthday to me!
