Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: Owl Sewing Kit
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013/02/owl-sewing-kit.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Monday, 11 February 2013. My friend was having a sewing party for her birthday and I thought it would be nice to make her a gift that she could use when crafting and sewing. I found this cute little owl on Etsy and decided to copy it. You can buy the embroidery design files here. And quite a few people on Etsy seem to be making these owls and selling them. I'm not sure what embroidery design files are and I'm fairly sure my antique Singer sewing machine. Once I'd stuffed t...

Play Ideas: Why every home should have a blackboard.
http://playideas.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-every-home-should-have-blackboard.html
Why every home should have a blackboard. So writing on a blackboard is fun, yeah? And it allows creativity in a different, freer way 'cause we can just wipe it off when we are finished or if we don't like it or want to try again. But as far as development is concerned there is so much happening:. Learning correct finger grip. Getting ready for writing. Handedness - or learning which will be my preferred hand. Control of back and arm muscles develops in an upright, standing position. Or a shopping list.

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: FO: Purple Cabled Handwarmers
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013/01/fo-purple-cabled-handwarmers.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Sunday, 27 January 2013. FO: Purple Cabled Handwarmers. Long time no blog, oops. This is a bit of an overdue post about my knitted handwarmers that I finished at the end of October. Yes, they did take me a whole year - but only because I forgot about them and they festered on the needles for many months. I think I've probably written about them before when they were a work in progress. The pattern is called Midnight - with a twist! At least my wrists are warm. Cannock Craf...

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: Sheep Toilet Roll Cover
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013/02/sheep-toilet-roll-cover.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Wednesday, 13 February 2013. Sheep Toilet Roll Cover. This might sound a little bit weird, but I made a Sheep Toilet Roll Cover for my friend's birthday. This may seem like a slightly strange gift but in my defence, the friend in question bought me the T oilet Roll Covers. Pattern book for Christmas so I felt she deserved one! I decided my first toilet roll cover would be the sheep pattern. It didn't end up looking very sheep like! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: January 2013
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Monday, 28 January 2013. It seems a long time ago now, much longer than a month. We spend all year working up to the Big Day and then BAM! It's over. In my family, we take it in turns to host Christmas. There is (currently) a three year rolling rota, comprising my Mum, my Aunt/Uncle/Cousins and Me. I'm looking forward to my Cousins getting their own houses so they can participate too, then it will only be every 5 years! Yes, I'm obsessed) and decided to recreate my own lad...

Thistles and Forget-Me-Nots: Baby Hats
http://thistlesandforgetmenots.blogspot.com/2013/02/baby-hats.html
Old Knitted Cupcake Blog Posts. Friday, 15 February 2013. I just thought I'd share with you some baby hats that I've made recently. Back in September, my friend gave birth to her baby girl a bit earlier than expected and she weighed just 1lb 9oz! I found it quite hard to find patterns for teeny tiny preemies. The pattern I mainly used was one I found on a random typed piece of paper that someone gave me years ago. It's not credited to anyone, so I'll type it out here. 1st row: K6 (7), K2tog, rpt til end.
