February Round Up

After moving house and trying to find all my stuff I managed to get quite a lot of sewing done, quite a lot of blogging and even found time for some pretty decent cooking.

I collected together some of my photos for February in a PicMonkey collage.

I am also hoping to finish my pompadour bag soon. I have been having some trouble with construction basics. I will never learn to just follow a pattern. I always have to make changes.
Here is the barrel part of the bag. These are all my HST sewn together.

Today I am linking up with Lily's Quilts Fresh Sewing Day

Happy Quilting and Crafting,

Some scrapbooking

I have only been having a bit of a look in at everyone's blogs lately without much commenting. A lot of my time I have been enjoying the lovely weather and watching the birds and the clouds. In the evening I have been doing some catchup watching of Doctor Who using ABC iView. I have the Apple TV box and can connect the iPad to the TV wirelessly and watch them while I knit or play a bit on the computer with some digital scrapbooking.
I am not much good at creating layouts for the pages so I just look up some layout sketches onlone and follow them approximately. I made this this one with my new coastal kit from Nitwit collections.

I was looking for a free collage maker and found Fotor which seems really good and easy to use. I made a little collage to cut up and put in my hand written journal. DH is not sleeping. He and Stumpy are looking at the ducks. The Energex helicopter flew over really low the other day.

I have joined up for the woolly blog hop hosted at Pieced Brain. It starts in a few weeks. I am hoping to get my knitted doll finished to show and I will work on some more blocks for the Summertime wool applique quilt.

Happy Quilting,
Val
