School holidays

Spring, the sweet spring, is

the year's pleasant king....

-Thomas Nashe

I have decided to use as many bits of

scrap material as I can while I'm on school

holidays with the family.

I have been given so much material, it's coming

out of my ears and time has been against me.

So as I have a few days without two of my

darlings, I have been caning my sewing

machine.

This is a banner to hang in the library when I have

a dinosaur display up.

I thought I would applique around each letter..

oh and I also had on hand 2 little dinosaurs!!, added

some nice spotty material that will look great on the

pinup board and got some old material as a

backing.

 I'm getting very excited about the bits of material

finally finding a good home, it's great.

I have also made a clown cushion cover, found some

ancient egyptian material for the library as well. Still

digging through the material box, came across a

panel someone had given me and that will also come

in handy for displays.

In the daytime hours I am sewing and at night my

knitting needles are fiercely clicking away.

While at the library I picked up this little treasure

of a book.

I must say there are some beautiful baby patterns in

here and as I am knitting stuff for next year's annual

show (and finding patterns that 'show off' doesn't

have), I will no doubt be knitting from this book.

Well it's back to the sewing machine for me and

perhaps I will actually get my lovely cloth dolls

made!!!

Have a great week everyone.

Kind regards, Anita.
