Fun Monday - I Made It Myself

Have some cake.....

Well I was just going to stick mine in with the sticky post but realized it may be a tad too long! And considering my blogger keeps shutting down while Im in the middle of posting I was getting a wee bit frazzled so decided to try again.

Now those of you who visit on a regular basis, know that Im always making something! Or more to the point you also know that I have a tendancy to start on lots of projects at once, therefore not finishing them very quickly! (Or sometimes not at all!) I had to stop and think a bit as I generally post things I make as I go so you've probably seen them all already! I had planned to show you this ....................


but as you can clearly see, its not finished.....I have been under the weather this weekend and instead of polishing this one off, I had my nose in a book or two. Apologies! So anyways, I went on a hunt to see what I could find, that I have not shown you before and lo and behold, In a draw I found a couple of old cross stitch projects that STILL have not been framed. WOOPS!



And a couple that are yet to be finished (yeah yeah I know they are not the unfinished ones Ive shown you before, but the top one cannot be finished until I secure some thread, I ran out!) The one underneath is one I started as the other one I was doing was too hard to see at night!)


Aside from knitting and cross stitch, I occasionally will crochet blankets like this..........

This one is mine, its not too big, I like to sit under it in winter while I attack my other projects! I also made one for TC's bed which is quilt sized!

Below is a little cardigan I knitted years and years ago! It belongs to my doll who is the same age as me, I got her for my first christmas when I was just six months old! She's a tough old bird like me and has been played with by many children over the years! Mr Boing Boing thinks she's a football and likes to hurl her around the house!


A couple of years back I started making jewellery a bit as well. This one, while it might not look like much is my favourite! The shell is from our local beach and is special to me, I wanted a natural look so went with hand painted wooden beads and leather!


Now for those of you who don't come here often and want to see some of my other projects, check out this post from the past, there are a few of my handmade things in there. And here are a couple of those cross stitch projects that everyone else has seen already...these two are my favourites............

Are you still here? Scroll down and visit all my friends, Im sure they have some great things to show you this week! Thanks for dropping by!

Update: To anyone who is that way inclined.......Karisma needs a hug! I have the flu and am feeling a bit sorry for myself, I was not going to come begging for hugs but after trying fix up the links several times and the blogger so rudely deleting them for me, changing the colours and doing all sorts of strange things. My Dinoboy decided today was the day to go on strike and chuck a tantrum. Then to top it off I go into the kitchen in search of soup to find someone has eaten it all and the sink is full of dishes. So "Oh Woe is me! Can I puleeeeese have a hug?"

If you have time please visit Cameragirls blog. She is new to blogging and needs a bit of encouragement! She is also playing Fun Monday this week! Thanks again to everyone for joining in and for all the hugs xxxxxx
