I’ve finally managed to fit in some sewing time

I’ve finally managed to fit in some sewing time today so this morning I finished a #stardomepincushion and this afternoon I found time to start piecing the project bag that it is to live in.
I started this project as part of the #eppnecessitiessal and while I’m not not sure I’ll get it finished before the end of the SAL I am delighted I decided to make it and bring the idea in my head to life.

This time of year I often have what I like to thin

This time of year I often have what I like to think of as my ski gear repair sewing kit in my bag as the kids seem to regularly end up with splits and rips in their gear from their ski antics and ski carrying.
Last week I was glad of it when I discovered a rip in my son’s jacket just as he was about to head off for a morning of ski school.
Today I’m delighted it is still in my bag because I got on the train to work only to discover my cardigan sleeve seam has ripped open from wrist to elbow 😲
I guess I‘ll be repairing my way to work rather than EPPing as usual 🤣

At 8am the boys departed for the ski slopes with their cousins so I made a mug of tea and have gone back to bed with some EPP.
This is the first time in a few days I’ve had a chance to get back to the project I am making for the #eppnecessitiessal and I am hoping that by the time the skiers are home for a late big breakfast I‘ll have the pieces for this #stardomepincushion all cut out and basted as I need to finish this so I know how deep I need to make the project pouch I am planning.

I‘ve not worked on this blanket much this winter

I‘ve not worked on this blanket much this winter which has resulted in me ripping back and re knitting the last 8-10 rows a few times as I try to remember how exactly I knit it.
I know it‘s a half brioche stitch but there seem to be several variations of that so I‘m hoping that if I stop focussing on my knitting and just mindlessly work away at it while chatting to the boys muscle memory will kick in and I‘ll get back in track with it again.

Little by little I’m finishing blocks and slowly

Little by little I’m finishing blocks and slowly taking over the living room table.

So somehow i managed to loose one piece from this

So somehow i managed to loose one piece from this block this afternoon as we had some movie time with pauses when I ran up and downstairs a couple of times to check on the simmering stock-pot.

When the missing piece was eventually found on the stairs by my son I went to add it to the block I had just pressed and somehow managed to sew the same side in twice 🙄🤣

Time to out this one away till tomorrow as it clearly does not want to be finished today!
