Tatty ted Afghan Pt. 8

I have been working hard on the afghan, its a project that really drags on for me, but with hardly any time left now I can’t pick it up & put it down.

Suffice to say I am sick to the back teeth with it. I have brought the backing fabric- Doctors cloth or wool Flannel, & have also made a blankie so that I could practice binding, which didn't turn out too bad. Just need to buy the wadding and I'm good to go at least on making up the afghan. I still need to buy some backing for the cot bumper.

Callum’s Blankie

George The Bear

 

I ordered some toosh tags, when they arrived they were awful, so I made my own to use on my bears.

George will be going to his new home tomorrow.

TT Afghan Part 6 A flower for you

Well, I am now halfway through on this project. Here is a flower for you and a view of the afghan at the half way point.

Its not my usual subject and although I am enjoying the stitching, the colours really are starting to grate, I hope I never see Grey again!.

Tatty Ted Afghan Pt. 5

Still ploughing on with this, although its not taking that long per panel it feels like ages.

On top of this, I have a commissioned bear I need to finish by the 5th but the lack of arrival of the toosh tags I ordered has hampered things.

I have also signed up to a Teddy exchange, I can feel a miniature bear coming on & it will be good practice.

Anyway Afghan Panel 5

Tatty ted Afghan Pt. 4–star Hugs

this is the 4th panel, I have been working on over the last couple of nights. Now on to Part 5. won’t take long to finish.

Catch Up chat–September

Well I have been so busy this last few weeks, with birthdays, new cars, fishing & family, there are just not enough hours in the day to do all that I want.

I have been commissioned to make a bear, a replica of wellington I made for my Due grandson in November. This bear needs to be ready for October 5th so I should get on with it, all the parts have arrived, and I have already sewn the head & one leg although the foot pads need to go in. I think I shall tackle the foot & paw pads next, as then when I get on to the arms & legs I won’t have to stop.

My gold work project is still on hold, I am itching to get going on that but Christmas is coming and my lot have hinted they all want bears.

Peddler – well that is also suffering & on hold. Its getting ruined on the frame and wont be worth a toss when its finally done at this rate,

Home sweet Home, again another much wanted project – Idle.

My stitching / crafting is my time, I thought I had finished stitching for the family, and that I could now settle down and branch out with my stitching, trying different aspects, so I'm a bit disappointed that the projects I had planned have all had to go on hold..

Once all my commitments are done, I am back to my time again & commissions.
