Just in Time for Winter

I finally finished the pool lounge cushions. This project took some time, but in reality making these cushions was not difficult I was pretty much just a procrastinator. It finally stopped raining so I snuck them out for the afternoon and gave them a go. The extra thick foam meant I didn't have to worry about connecting the top and the bottom as I worried about in the spring, it also means they are very very comfortable! I made another quick covered brick with the remnants for the guest house door. No sewing for me this avo, I'll be lounging by the pool (with a wool sweater on). -kb

So it's been a few weeks since my last post, but I've been busy! Here is a quick roundup:

• I've dug up a few half finished projects and all 3 are almost finished. Will be sharing soon.
• Began knitting a new winter scarf with the loveliest teal wool our on holiday...might have to unravel the entire thing (about 3 feet) to fix the rolling edges...
• On our trip to Western Australia, I bought 60 (yes 60) meters of fabric. The price was too good to pass up! Needless to say, I've got a few projects planned!
• Went to The Craft Room last night and met these amazing ladies: Corrie, Rachel, Sophie, Cass, Amelia, Ingrid and Belinda . Super fun, was fantastic to meet some of these ladies in person!
• Under Corrie's excellent tutelage, I learned to crochet...not sure if I am going to stick with it...just might not be my thing.
• Only 5 weeks left of my maternity leave, then it's back to work...I am in two minds on this, on the one hand will be great to have regular adult interaction, other the other both Scout and Luca are growing so fast I am loving every second I spend with them. I know the adventures ahead are even more exciting. Let's just hope I can balance it all come June!

Photo of another dress made for Scout. This one took me weeks of fiddling to draft the pattern and even more tweaking to come to a final piece I was happy with. Will certainly be making this one again after all of this effort. -kb
