2009 in Craft

2009 wasn't all about travelling and being outdoors in the Scottish countryside. There was a fair degree of crafting going on too (oh and I had to go to work most days as well - guess the travel costs and bills have to be paid for somehow!) I even managed some more crafting over the holidays and have started Baby Blankie No. 1 for 2010.

1. Rabbit, 2. Panda, 3. Poppy, 4. Gingerbread, 5. Eskimo Head, 6. Felt Mice with Squeak, 7. Mummy and Pumpkin, 8. Walking the dog, 9. Swimming Pool Blankie, 10. Rapunzel Baby Comforter, 11. Submariner, 12. Apple Tree, 13. Dolly head, 14. Poppy Field Baby Blankie, 15. Russian Doll Peeking Out, 16. Wooden House, 17. The Finished Mobile, 18. Bunny Blanket, 19. Dolly with A Heart, 20. Poppies from Recycled Sweaters

Mostly felt products this year - hardly knitted anything. I enjoyed making blankies for friend's babies; had my first couple of commission's from the knitting shop to make something with their new felt; participated in a couple of exchanges, including Elsie Marley's Mobile exchange (I didn't get my mobile which was a pity - much prefer person to person exchanges as opposed to circular ones - much more guilt if you don't provide when someone has sent you something nice....it hasn't put me off though); continued to go to knitting group most weeks but since Borders closed we are looking for a new home; made a dolly for Craft Hope; raffled a baby blanket and sold some Christmas decorations to raise some funds for Operation Smile - £70 raised. It's amazing the good that can be done with craft.
