My next project...

I've decided to keep the Christmas stocking project until October half term so that I can have plenty of time to get my head around the instructions, and also it will help to get me into the Christmas spirit!

Having finally succommed to the kid's cough and sneeze germs, I'm feeling pretty rough today so I'm going to take it easy and start a new sewing project. Nothing better than sewing in bed while watching TV to make you feel better!

My boyfriend enjoys taking cycle trips around the country so I originally bought the mini kit to sew and make into a keyring or something similar. Funnily enough, he's currently on such a trip, although I'm not sure it works for motorcycles?! I love the Bothy Threads Dictionary of Cakes - am planning on sewing it for my kitchen to honour my new found enjoyment of baking cakes.

Also, check out my (not-so-new-but-as-you-haven't-seen-it-yet) new sewing box. From Homebase of all places! Never seen anything like it!

It's got my essential equipment in: tacking thread, a spare needles, scissors, a pencil, tape measure and spare piece of aida. I wish it had my masking tape in though - no idea where I put that!!
