I haven't had much time for making things recently, it's been another crazy term at school and my weekends have been filled with working at the museum and visiting national trust properties.
I have finished my granny square blanket for now and put it on the end of my bed. I'm not really happy with it as it's much too small, so I plan to add to it using some wool I've been given by a friend at knitting club.
I've also found time to knit two hearts and to fill them with lavender, I kept one and gave one to my auntie for Mother's Day. They were very quick to make and the increasing and decreasing made it interesting.
Most recently I've crocheted a rabbit for Easter from let's get crafting knitting and crochet. I was supposed to make three and give them as Easter present's to the children I tutor, but it took much longer than I thought it would so I'll have to find another recipient.
Another hobby I've been trying is card making, i made a card for a friend at work who has just had a baby and one for a friend who has just bought her own place.
Lastly in March, my Mum and I visited the cake and bake show at Event city in Manchester. The show itself wasn't that amazing, a lot of the stalls were very expensive, however there were some good show cakes on display. We also got to meet Mary Berry and she signed my Mum's cook book, she was very nice and I felt a bit sorry for her because the que for signing books was massive.
I'm not sure what I'm going to make next. I definitely want to do some machine sewing whilst I'm off over Easter and I have plans to make a bag and to try patchwork. I also have an owl to paint. I'm looking forward to going to an event at Black Sheep Wools on Thursday, so hopefully that will inspire me!
