Week One (Kelly)

I did a little this week but was easily sidetracked.  After success making my first sock monkey (a Rugby World Cup 2011 monkey for my little rugby fan) I had a go at making a smaller version.  It didn't work for me.  It was frustrating that I couldn't get it perfect.  Elijah wasn't impressed that I used his socks - apparently they were his favourite.  I think he is lying, actually pretty sure they're not his favourite.
Then thinking about Christmas decorations I whipped up some bunting - not on my list (again, I am easily sidetracked)

The thought of sewing a whole lot of triangles didn't appeal (I have done it before) so I went with something I found on pinterest (oh how I am loving pinterest)

On to the gifts I'm supposed to be making!  I literally whipped up these two bag bags using teatowels and a piece of ribbon - easy.
Three skirts for the little girls in my family - two are made with vintage sheeting and the other with new fabric I had in my stash.

    Love the bag bags! Such a great idea to make them out of tea towels.

    I know the feeling about being side tracked but they say variety is the spice of life!! I dare say that after we see what everyone else has done over the next few weeks that we will continue to be side tracked.........
