A SCRAPPY BARGELLO.






I saw this quick and simple scrappy bargello on a blog last week and had to have a go. It is fast and fun to make . I like the idea of a scrappy look as anything goes! an excellent way to use up your ''oddball'' colours that are left over from previous projects. you sew strips together totally random and end up with a coulourful quilt. You then can put a braid border or whatever you like. The site is http://quiltville.com/scrapbargellopf.html

''THE BIRTHDAY GIRL''.




This is Glynnis, the birthday girl, she wa s 6o . Her youngest daughter, kirri, made her a delicious chocolate mudcake! You can see the pic printed on the cake when she was a bit younger.

"HERE ARE THE PICS".

They are not the best pics, but you get the general idea. These are the girls doing the "fire poi". cool ay!!

" CAN YOU GUESS WHO I AM" ?

I will give you a clue.

"It's Me".

"FIRE POI"


This is a pic of what the girls did at glynes's 60th birthday party a few weeks ago. Don't they look cool!! It rained later in the evening, but held off for them.

BANANA'S IN PJAMAS ARE GOING UP THE STAIRS.....

I have been making these knitted ' bananas in pjamas ' for forever! Well it feels like it. We started making these when my younger sister 's girls were small and they were all the rage! Well they are in their late 20's now. People still like them for little kids cause they are so cute and a nice size to cuddle in bed. They are easy to make and don't really take long. I have the pattern if anyone would like to try. You make 2 identical body parts then sew together, make a jacket and sew sleeves in roll the collar down . i use black saftey eyes and embroider the mouth. they are about 9'' tall approx.
