Since July the 7th I have been working on a project that has taken me thru the summer and yesterday I finally finished it (October 18th). I had to order extra balls here and there if I was running low on a particular colour... So after spending £135.00 on wool and approx 200 (wo)man hours here its is. Hubby measured it for me and its approx 2 metres across and down. I'm really pleased with the result and have just under a ball of each colour left so I am going to try and make some scatter cushions to match.
So now that's completed, Well, I can turn back to papercrafting for a while although my two boys have put requests in for quilts.... should be a bit easier than knitting or crocheting!
And before I forget... Our dear friend Alison has gone back to her home country of Australia! We will miss her so much when it comes to our yearly retreats in March as she has been to every one so far.... The first one she was quite pregnant with her gorgeous twin boys... And the next one she missed her boys so much but it was quality adult time and a mum needs that at times don't they! Anyway, we had an idea of doing an album for her as a memento of our retreats... I made the cover using some papers from an Echo Park collection and all of us did a page in it at 8x8 size and using kraft paper to link all the layouts together....
I am pretty sure everyone who goes has put their layouts on their blogs but I also have a digital layout to show as Mr W did a lo of himself and Mr P. At the last retreat Mr P cooked on Friday night and Mr W cooked on Saturday night...
The very last page I put an 8x6 print in so Alison can remove it and use it on a layout to go in this book too. I know we all miss her so much already but thank goodness for facebook and skype too.
So I'll say bye for now and til next time.
