Two months to go!!

So I finished the bolero.
But.. I'm really not happy with it. The sleeves were abnormally over long. I tried fixing this by making a cuff, which was ok, but then I blocked it.

The whole thing.. relaxed... a lot. So now its a bit big, and doesn't hang nicely. I'm feeling a bit annoyed.

I'm thinking I might finish the other crafting I need to and then maybe pulling out the whole thing and remaking it into a simple top down cardigan. If I run out of time, I'll just buy her a new cardigan.

So on that note.. the other crafty stuff.

I've been making felted hearts. Here is that one I showed before, but felted. 

And this is what they look like when they are being made. This is the kit from my handbag.

They are pretty quick to make, a little over an hour for the knitting, then stuffing sewing and felting. I'm planning on doing the last steps as a big batch.

 

I'm also collecting these.  I wanted little glass bottles or white ceramic bud vases. But it turns out its cheaper (and just as nice in my opinion) to acquire them by drinking.  These are the 200ml bottles you get San Pellegrino drinks in (e.g. limonata or aracina rosa etc).

Can you guess what these are? ...

Gloves. I don't know if I'll wear them or not, I am starting to wonder if I'll have too much going on. But we'll see. They are just shorty fingerless ones.

And this is the last of the supplies for the table decorations! When I have everything together I'll set up an example and take a pic.


Oh and I have a hair trial booked next week! Will consider posting photos ;)
