The Gift of Giving

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing with you a photo of a project that I have completed with my class. This started last term and I finished it this morning. I taught them how to French Knit and this is what we finished up with.



I crocheted some granny squares around the edges and also crocheted a border around the side. To read more about this project, click on the link and you will go to my other blog which I use for educational related things.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friend

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've created anything and posted anything. I have had a break due to some family reasons, had my dreaded reporting term at work, taken some long service leave and have been overseas and I feel the mojo is back!

I have been working on a project with my class. We have been French knitting a blanket to give away to someone who is homeless. That project is nearly complete. I will share that once it is done - I have also been brushing up on my crochet skills as I haven't done any for a long time!

The card I am sharing started months ago. I coloured the Whimsy image in and it has been in a drawer for months. I had intended to create with it earlier however things happened and it the card was made last night!






I intended to work on techniques this year. I have stock piled copic markers and distress inks/markers and I hope that that will happen at some stage. I have enrolled in a few online classes so now I have to actually complete them!

Anyway, I am about to start my next project which I hope to share with you soon which will be a mini album.
