I'm Moving

2012-11-23T08:10:00.001+00:00

I'm a person that enjoys moving, and coming up to five years in this house, it's time to move. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to move to a new bricks and mortar house, so I'll have to do it another way.

I'm not moving house this time, but I'm moving in cyber space.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been building my own website, Loopy's Place. Over in my new home, I have a new blog, a place to de-stash, and my own shop.

As you know, moving takes time, so over the next couple of weeks things will be added to the new website almost every day.

The first blog post is already there, so please come and visit. I'm hoping that all my friends will come and still visit, it's not that far away.

Safe Places

2012-11-22T07:06:00.001+00:00

I had great plans for sewing garments this week, all the pieces of the jigsaw were dropping into place.

You will all remember me buying the patterns, then lovely Evie sent me some fabric. Yesterday the sewing machines were serviced and repaired, I was all set to go.

Trouble is, the patterns were put in a safe place. However, that safe place is nowhere to be found and I'm blaming Sue. I think my safe place has gone to hide with her safe place, it's just taking a long time to come out of hiding.

In the meantime, I went to a quilting shop, and have bought what I need to finish two more projects. Maybe I'll come across the patterns while I'm doing that instead.

Keeping the needles busy

2012-11-21T08:04:00.000+00:00

This is the first pair of adult slipper/boots off the needle, just waiting for some buttons.

These turned out a lot larger than they were looking during the knitting process. With the wide legs, these will be perfect for winter nights, fitting over jeans and trousers.

Now I've done these, I think I prefer the rib versions. I'll try a pair in the adult size to compare. At the moment, I'm back to doing small ones. I'm going to a craft fair on Sunday, wonder how many pairs I can get done before I go.

Last One

2012-11-20T07:33:00.001+00:00

My fingers are happy to be getting a break from attaching purses to frames.

This is the last of the frames I bought, so now it's time to move on to new projects, or in some cases, to finish old ones.

Not sure yet what will be next in the sewing corner, but the knitted slippers are still in progress.
