Do you remember a few weeks ago I ran into a bit of, let's call it drama, with the versatile wrap skirt?  Well this weekend I decided I would stop being angry with myself for cutting out the wrong size (too small!) and make the darn thing anyway.  I have younger sisters and it would be bound to fit one of them. I was still annoyed that someone else would be enjoying the beautiful fabric I had splurged on especially for myself but c'est la vie.

I worked my way through the easy to follow pattern and...

TA DA!



It fits me!  It fits me!  It fits me!

Are you getting the immense joy that came from this discovery?  Obviously the sizing was VERY generous.  I was so excited by it all that I wore it to work on Monday and got lots of lovely compliments which made me feel very happy indeed. (I did have another picture to share but I just clicked on "delete forever" instead of "edit" - oops!)

Oh, and I am still cutting out bits for the crazy mom quilts quilt-a-long.  I'm still a few weeks behind everyone else and I think it will probably stay that way.    

So hurrah! A happy and successful creative space for me this week.  I'm looking forward to reading what everyone else has been up to over here

This week I have been busy entertaining my visiting sister and helping her get organised for her first ever overseas trip.  As such, not a lot of crafting has been going on.  But, I did manage to do some cutting out for this quilt-a-long over at crazy mom quilts.  Tonight, my rotary cutter beckons!

There may have also been an incident with some fabric, some scissors and a mis-read pattern late last week.  But I would prefer not to talk about that.  Let's just say that the versatile wrap skirt won't be featuring on here anytime soon.

...has been pretty quiet this week.

But I did finish another crochet facecloth - this time with a shell edging.  I like it better than my first one, so that's something.  I think they'll make nice presents too.  They are wonderfully soft and nice and light.

I will be starting work on The Versatile Wrap skirt just as soon as I can be bothered drawing up the pattern and cutting out the fabric.  I really hate cutting out fabric.  I will be using these beautiful fabrics for this one.
