Another Sale!

I made another sale!! BOOYA! 

A lovely lady that I know from church asked me to make her two nappy pouches to use for her little girls... She chose the fabrics she wanted and the style of pouch and then I made them! It was a simple as that! 

After the floods stunted my progress for several weeks, and a hitch or two with my sewing, but Im happy to say that they are off to their new home via express post! And will hopefully arrive very soon and be satisfactory! 

Alright, as for my boo boo... I had just finished sewing the pouch and went to turn it in the right way and zip it up only to discover to my utter horror that I had sewn the zip in upside down... sigh... I had no more fabric to do another pouch nor did I have another zip... Oh my... What to do?? I unpicked it all of course... there was nothing else I could do. 

I felt so silly!! Felt so DAFT!! lol! 

Anyways... Its done...

TTFN... Trystan... 

Aiming too High...

Sup y'all?! 

HOLD THAT THOUGHT - Gotta change a dirty nappy... Hum a song for a moment would you?

S'all good... DONE!

Back too it...

Last month (that being October) I thought to myself, 

"Christmas is coming up! So why don't I make some gifts?" 

Harmless thought you say?? WHATEVER! I have 20 nieces and nephews! So after that realization I says to myself, "NO WAY!" Then the Hubbs suggests to take all of the children to the movies as their gifts! BRILLIANT me thinks!! But then it occurred to me that there will be three (from my side of the family - the rest are from Hubbs side) that live far away - as in Melbourne far away. So i thought, "I'll just make them a beanie to keep em cozy in winter. And that can be there present..."

Surely learning and making three crochet a beanies all by Christmas shouldnt be too difficult - I being pro at teaching myself how to make things and all... 

This is what I wanted to make...

It started off good... But that is where all the goodness stopped...

Sigh... I really need to stop tooting my own horn when I cant back it up... 

I've been teaching myself from YouTube videos for over a week now... So far I've made an adult side beanie and a newborns beanie 

It doesn't even fit my two yr old... The top left corner is the adult one half done...

But cant seem to get a grasp on the toddler sized one... not only that, I seem to have done something wrong in the one that I'm working on now and its puckering as it were and wont sit right... Not to mention my darling daughter (3 1/2yrs) thought she'd be sooooo helpful by cutting my yarn off at the last stitch I did, successively undoing much of my work... 

sigh...

I dont think that I'll get there by Christmas... I'm feeling rather discouraged...  :(

Trystan...    

Doh!

It has just come to my daft attention that whilst creating and applying for this blog address I spelt it wrong...

Instead of spelling it the inteneded way of 

"Maiden" I spelt it "Madien" *shakes head in shame and sighs*

I've been searching for my blog for days only to discover that this was the problem... Needless to say I'm quite disappointed with myself, but in the same token I'm not wholly surprised...

I suck at spelling... Always have and by the look of it always will...

Oh well! We live and learn! Lets move on!! ^_^
