Crochet, crochet, crochet,...

Hello everyone,

You may have been wondering where on earth my blog posts have gone to.  It has indeed gone a little quiet here in Belgina's world.  A visit to my parents back in Belgium and the Easter holidays meant that I have had a break in sewing and somehow I haven't managed to pick it back up.  That doesn't mean I haven't been crafting though!  Crochet has been the word this month!

I am working on 2 things.  First I am still rippling.  That will take me quite a while yet, I think.

Second I am also working on an "Owl Obsession" blanket.  I am making it single size though, instead of the baby size of the pattern and have worked out I'll need 35 owls.  I have 13 so far...

I also have a few more sewing  bits planned.  I have cut out the fabric for another summer dress for the little one, but I haven't got round to digging the sewing machine out again.  I also want to make a summer dress for myself.  I have the pattern and fabric, I just need to pluck up the courage and go for it!

I had hoped that blogging would spur me on to crack on with things a bit more, but it doesn't seem to be working very well at the moment ;)

Anyway, almost bedtime.

See you soon with more.

Love

The Owly Skirt - part 2

As you may remember, quite a while ago I wrote a blog post called: Owly Skirt- part 1 and you may have been wondering if a part two were ever to happen.  Well, today is the day!

I had made an owly skirt for the tiny one.  I was not 100% happy with it, hence the part 1.  I had planned to tidy up the waist band a little and add some trim.  I have done part of that.  The waistband is only untidy on the inside, so I figured it would be too much effort to redo.  But I did really want to add trim to the skirt to make the different layers stand out a little better.  So I bought some bright pink bias binding and sewed it to the bottom.  Looking back, I think plain pink ribbon would have been better; the bias-binding is a touch heavy.  But anyway, here it is.  Finally completely finished!

An owly skirt.  Tadaaaah!

And look.  Proper decent pictures taken outdoors for once!

Love

B
