WOYWW 303 Nappie holders

I finally managed to find some free time at the weekend while my two men watched the rugby (well one watched, the other caused mayhem as he's learnt to throw/chuck stuff). 

Anyway I made these lovely nappy holders from the Fabric from a couple of post ago, I find nappies get squashed in my changing bag as there aren't any pockets. 

Mines the one with nappies in and the others are for some mummy friends! 

I also had a go at the broomstick crochet but it turns out a kitchen roll holder isn't quite as good as a proper knitting needle so going to have to wait till I can borrow one from my mum. 

Thanks for visiting!

WOYWW 302 Chair Socks

I finally gave in and joined Pinterest this week and boy am I glad I did!! I can't believe I haven't joined sooner it's full of wonderful ideas...most of which I would never have thought of!! 

Including chair socks! 

Now this may seem like a silly idea but they are brilliant! I have hard flooring in my dining room and I don't want it scratched by chairs so I tired using foam pads but not very successfully...anyway I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was worth a try! Here's a pic of mine:

I had to adapt the pattern to fit my chairs but I am very pleased with the result. They slide easier so it's easier to get up when ur sat at the table..and they don't make as much noise! 

I've also discovered broomstick crochet and this lovely pattern so I'm going to give this a go...hopefully you can see my attempt next week! 

Thanks for visiting!

WOYWW 300

Make It in farnborough was on at the weekend so I popped along with my mum (fairy thoughts) and had a look around. It was probably better for card makers/paper art things but I did have a lovely but short (had my little monster with us) time printing a tea towel with Indian wood blocks!

Quite pleased with it though it slightly annoying that the centre pattern isn't in the middle but nevermind!! I'm going to keep it nice and use it to cover dough when I'm making bread!

Also picked up a few lovely fat quarters, the top three I'm going to use to make some nappy holders to go in changing bags for myself (the triangle print) and a couple of mummy friends (the ducks and owls) so watch this space! I'm hoping to do them at the weekend! 

I also bought a watch face with the intention of making a crochet strap using yarn and a fastener I already had and I actually managed to find time to make it!! Think that's the quickest I've actually finished something after a show!!

Thanks for visiting!
