Yarn And Yearn: March 2012
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Sunday, March 4, 2012. A little bit of Autumn Sewing. I lost my sunglasses case a couple of months ago and have been meaning to make a replacement for ages. Here is the result. A patchwork piece in Autumn colours. I appliqued the heart and hand quilted around the heart and the black squares. I didn't attach any kind of fastening as the case is deep enough and firm enough to hold the glasses tight. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I also enjoy posting my completed craft projects.

Yarn And Yearn: It's Autumn
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2013/04/its-autumn.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Sunday, April 21, 2013. I love Autumn - it's my favourite season. The air starts to get crisp and I get all my winter clothes out from the trunk under my bed and start thinking about scarvess and gloves and hats. Yesterday afternoon I went fungi spotting along the Pipeline track up at Ferntree. So much fun. And so much joy in the cold air. I love to rug up and not overheat when I go walking. This is a Noro catherine wheel scarf. And another Noro scarf. And a striped vest.

Yarn And Yearn: Ahoy, there!
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2014/01/cloth-badges.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Friday, January 17, 2014. My four year old nephew was wearing a pirate t-shirt the other day and it gave me the idea for this embroidered badge. I'm really pleased with the way it's turned out - I hope he likes it! This brooch has been sitting half done in a bag for a couple of years now! It's been nice to get it finished. For both badges I used recycled linen, crewel wool and a felted wool back. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Yarn And Yearn: June 2011
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Saturday, June 25, 2011. Happy Birthday to me! It was my birthday on Tuesday, and to celebrate I have bought myself two new Bower Beads. A kookaburra and thylacine stripes. These are designed by Tasmanian jeweller Ruth Waterhouse. I love Ruth's designs and have a few of her pieces. I purchased the beads at Sargisons. This photo shows the detail on the back of the kookaburra. So beautiful! Friday, June 24, 2011. Lavender bags and some knitting for the cold. I've been home fr...

Yarn And Yearn: December 2014
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Saturday, December 27, 2014. A lot has happened since my last post. Well, it is nearly a year, but still a major change has occurred! I sold my flat and bought a house! I lived in that little flat for 13 years, and am loving the sense of space in the house - there are three bedrooms - one for me, one as a craft room and one for guests. Loving the garden. So many plans, so little time. Will post more about that later too. Ladies, and taking pride of place in my new bedroom.

Yarn And Yearn: April 2012
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Two finished quilts and two pairs of mitts! I finally got around to doing the binding. I bought the American Jane kit online last year. The fabric is from their 'Punctuation' range. Girls have (again) done a wonderful job with the machine quilting. And here's my finished April mini-quilt from Kathleen Tracy. S quilt-a-long. I emailed her the finished photos and got a lovely reply - thank you Kathleen! And these mitts are for Alice - knitted in Jo ...

Yarn And Yearn: December 2012
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Saturday, December 1, 2012. Oh, the purple! I'm in a bit of a purple patch at the moment. Sometimes I get cravings for lilac which are usually sated by the purchase of some ribbon, yarn or linen thread. Last week I bought a lilac dress from Oyster&Pearl. Here is a fuller shot of the dress. The photo doesn't do the colour justice - it is literally an eye-popping glowing lilac. Happiness. And lastly some purple mitts - my Monteverdi Mitts, see them on Ravelry. Oh, the purple!

Yarn And Yearn: July 2011
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Sunday, July 10, 2011. Welcome Guest Blogger Marcel Parums! It's a pleasure to introduce Marcel Parums, my ten year old nephew who has made this wonderful felt elephant and taken the photographs himself. Over to you Marcel:.

Yarn And Yearn: May 2011
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Sunday, May 29, 2011. A curtain for the bathroom and a new hat. I finished painting the bathroom window a while ago, and here is a little curtain I made to cover the ugly metal vent at the top. I used a sheer linen for the background to get a see-through effect, and the little birds are from scraps of fabric I had in my stash. The finished curtain is lovely and light, and floats gently when there is a breeze through the window. The flying birds are from. Friday, May 27, 2011.

Yarn And Yearn: February 2013
http://yarnandyearn.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Knit, sew, embroider, crochet. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. One down, two to go! It's a little wonky, but I'm sure the others will improve - I'm quite looking forward to doing more! The needlepoint purse is done! An interesting and fun exercise in colour shifts using my favourite colours. It's hard to photograph the colours accurately. There is no grey in the purse - what you should be seeing are subtle shades of the blue and green - but they've photographed as grey! I lined it with bright magenta silk.
