Today I made........

Hearts for a swap.
My apologies if my partners see them. The other ones will be a surprise.

Catching up.

This is my first post from my iPhone. I am interested to see how it turns out.
I am in love with instagram and I am hoping the picture posts where it should. Please excuse the craziness if it doesn't.
I have been working on this hexagon bag since maybe April last year. Slowly sewing it together when I need to relax. Who knew hand sewing could be so relaxing?
The pattern is from Cath Kidson's book Sew. I have five more hexigons to go and then I can make the bag up.


I hope to do a lot more blogging this year and catch up on my google reader as I feel like I've missed so much of what is happening out there.
What are your plans for 2012? I'd love to know what you are up to.
Until then, happy crafting.
Mel.

Day Eleven- Something Fun

<>

I gave Koby the camera and said take a photo of something fun. So he took a lot of photos and then we looked at them on the computer and this was his favourite. The trucks. And the sand, of course. In true melmakespretty fashion I have again started a project and then not followed through.... but I am hoping that this week will be a lot quieter and so then I should have time to take some cool pics. Until tomorrow, Take care, Mel

Day One- Self Portrait

Taken in the kitchen. With the best light.

I took about thirty  photos. This was the best.
