OK, so you may have noticed the new link in my sidebar! I've just discovered ravelry and I think its fab. I'm always losing track of which knitting projects I am working on/want to work on etc. and now I have a much easier way to do it. Plus I can search for patterns etc and look at what others are up to. Plus people can see what I am doing as well (including some of the things I have written about here). Anyway, enough about that...

I have recently completed a pair of newborn longies for bubba. I was trying out a new pattern so just used some boyish wool I had in my stash and decided to try embroidery for the first time. I think it turned out pretty well (pics don't do them justice as you can't see the greens in the pants very well):

I have also started a new jumper for this bubba (the second thing I have made for her) and here is a progress pic:

I've also been sewing up a storm. Ned needed a new pillow for the lounge room as he and his Daddy were fighting over the big cushion so I decided to make one the same size (60x60cm)but with a Lightning McQueen cover (Disney Cars is Neds favourite movie) so here it is:

I'm really happy with how it turned out, Ned loves it and there's no more arguing. I also got a snap press for my birthday (YAY) and I have ben using it to make some more nappies for Ned as he has outgrown a lot of his now. The ones I have made have turned out great but are in the wash so I will post pics later when they are clean. I my new snap press and my next task is to make some all in one bodysuits for bubba so she has some unique ones (aka not pink). Well that's a mammoth post so I think I will leave it there.
