An update

Halloween was boring...nobody made an effort it was miserable..Adam also felt poorly so I brought him home early from Trick or treating.. Maybe next year will be better!
The day after though we had an awesome time at a local animal farm, it was brilliant and I also asked what they did with their alpaca fleece (so heres hoping next spring they will sell it )

On to the crafts! Still trying to finish the rug for my lounge...I also have plans for lots more rag rugs and I also need to get a wrap made for my tapestry wool skeins as I have lots & lots!

Oh and Zarah wants a crochet little handbag!

Now just need more hours in the day and we are good to go :)

Halloween madness 2010

Rag rugs...1 done....1 sort of there!

Finished one!

And the part way there one......I need some more matching blue material and I am generally not sure about the grey material on the edge.....hmmmm...

Bleurgh......

I feel damn awful, I have a cold and a nasty, persistant cough...

Did manage to have a wander at the Downs in Dunstable with the kids today and it was lovely, the view is to die for!!

Anyways...
I have finished a circular rag rug and half finished an oval, these are both going to be my first ones for sale so...the finished one will be going in the washing machine tomorrow to make sure it stays in one piece during a wash before I sell!

Hopefully it all won't...erm...come undone?!?!?! :o


Oh and I need to get a shift on with my wings as it's Halloween this week and I have no where near finished them!
I'm not being very organised...........

Lots of lovely people...

....Gave me lots of lovely material, old bedding, old curtains etc...

There is some beautiful fabric to make some beautiful rugs...

I have started one and I am in the middle of another and have plans for many more and these ones are looking better, the shape looks neater. But I suppose practice makes perfect!

But will see how much I get done this week as we all have stinking, rotten colds!

And another one....

Made from 1 duvet cover and 2 pillowcases, an oval crochet rag rug for my bathroom...

Well....

Wings still aren't finished but I am starting another rag rug for my bathroom and also doing a granny squares blanket for my bedroom...

I need to start getting through the pile of material and wool I have accumulated!!
