to dye for

well, emma and i had a fun night of dyeing wool tonight, her lovely aunty was kind enough to knit up some sock blanks on her knitting machine so this is what i did with mine , the last photo is it all wet before cooking so its looks kinda funny the first ones are all cooked, but will take a pic when they dry.the stiped wool blanks are for a swap, but im fairly sure my swapee won't see this! i love how it dyed up,i think i might have to dye some silver/pink one for me, maybe with black aswell or white...
also dyed up some pink/purple/silver wool for a hat for eden, since pink is her fav colour (mine too :)and some silver/purple/teal for a swap, i love how the silver turned out, its my new fav i think!and the red wool is some random wool i got cheap from the sallies, its 14ply so thinkin i will make some slippers with it, i get really cold feet in winter and dan wont let me warm them up on him, meanie aye lol.

wool yummy wool!!

look what i found on my door step this morning :)


yummy bendigo wool , of course it not all mine, just 5 balls , cant wait to knit something up, their luxury wool is so soft and squishy.

First post!

well here goes my first ever post (gulp) im sitting here thinking what can i write about? whos going to care or want to read about my very ordinary life?
Well if you even glanced into my house you would know there is crafting afoot, as my lounge is in permanent disaray, toys everywhere thanks to my two busy toddlers. And the dining room table covered in sewing machines, fabric, snap press snaps and patterns probly dosent help lol, also the ever present scraps of threads and fabric littering the floor under my sewing spot.
I started this blog because i love reading peoples blogs and love the tutorials and seeing all the cool things people make , it really inspired alot of the things i made for my kids, so i thought i would start a blog so i can add some things i have made and maybe a few tutorials if i get brave enough.
Anyway thank you for thaking the time to visit my blog, hopefully will be back with something interesting soon....
