This week I've been recharging my creative juices this week, I even dedicated a moleskine notebook to carry around and sketch ideas and projects as they come to me. Here is a sprinkling of some of the projects I've been up to.
Left to right clockwise, a shoppin bag I sketched an ink drawing in, my slouchy beret, two potholders made on my sewing machine!!! Some hotpant's I'm knitting (yes, knitted hot pants, sooo hot right now) and a little sweater for my nephew who turns one next month. It's in cotton and silk so it shouldn't be too hot for Cyprus, and I've tried to size it so that he can wear it through to his next birthday, if he isn't too chubby!
Aww, baby clothes are so satisfying because they go so quickly. This is a classic top down in the round cardigan. I am using some yarn my friend Michelle gave me before I left Amarillo (Thanks Michelle) and I think it'll be enough for the sweater and maybe something extra matching, suggestions people with children? He'll be one in May.
Here is my attempt at a slouchy beret. Not sure if it'll stay on my head properly when I'm out and about, but the weather is warming up now so I probably won't need it. The fashions will probably change and I'll take it out again.
Off to have dinner with Chris now, pasta bake with mushrooms - yum!
matching hat maybe? I think 1 year old is too old for booties, so maybe a little cap with a brim? Or a matching tiny security blanket? Teddy bear sweater?
ReplyDeleteActually i was thinking about it today, i might do a toy elephant, it's kind of a grey/blue shade that would be perfect for it....but a cap with a brim is a good idea too, like a newsboy cap.... hmmmm good ideas
