I have been very busy with teaching over the last few years and neglected my little blog. But hopefully now with my newer laptop I will be able to improve my efforts to update my blog.
So here are the posts i have wanted to do, but just didn't get around to doing:
Weekend Bag
I made a fabulous weekend bag designed by Janelle Kent from Pieces to Treasure. This is the smaller of the 2 bags. I am keen to make the larger one as well. It's a great pattern and is easy to follow.
Yarn Dyeing
I have found i have several cotton Perle yarns just sitting on the shelf gathering dust. So during school holidays, i have been dyeing them using Procion dyes and ziplock bags and the colours i have ended up with are so delicious.

| In order to dry them properly, i wrapped them around the old clothes drying racks. |

| Beautiful colours soaking up dye. |

| In order to store the yarns, i use the empty yarn reels from my sewing threads. |
