Feeling inspired by my old blog some new tees found there way into the bleach and fabric pens last night so I decided to collage some of my last few years favourites.

OMG just found my old blog.  Thought it might be time to resurrect it again after (hangs her head in shame) over a year of inactivity.

So okay it looks like the last time I posted I had just had my wonderful son Andre, that was end of February 2012.  Well early June we found out we where expecting again, much to surprise.  Turns out we where due on Andre's 1st birthday, but we say in 2013 and 4 days later our littlest princess decided to make a abrupt arrival.  So hence I am now a proud and slightly tired and mad mum to 6 wonderful (most of the time) kids.

I now also craft under a name, Kreative Gifts, and even have a fb page which isnt that fab yet.  I am knitting like a mad woman most days and still designing new things to sew and craft.  I will add more to this post when I have a bit more time but I look forward to trying to maintain a blog again ;)

Well I have been busy knitting up a storm again, but not getting much else done.  So in the last few weeks I have  finished the Tama, knitted an apple pin cushion for a gift, a Edens Adam for a gift and a Benji hat from Keegan.

Opps time for an update I think.

Well life has been an adjustment with the new fella, so not alot of creating being done.  I have completed 2 knitting projects, a Mistake Rib Neckwarmer for my mw, and a huge 1600m test knit project for Julia which I cant tell you a thing about till the pattern is released.  I started this project in week 8 and finished it in week 14 thats how big it is. 

As for sewing - I am going to have to have a big catch up - have plunket book covers to make, art totes to finish and some shorts and winter pants for my princess.  And thats just the start of the sewing list.

Others - well I am still a week ahead so phew that can wait.

Well I created of a different sort this week. Monday 7.11am saw the very quick arrival of our new son.  So I think I earned a pass this week.

And the awesome news from my oldest son - he raised $65 selling 2 raffles (1 girls, 1 boys) at 50c a ticket for the Never Give Up t-shirts they where a real hit with the kids.

Wk 8 - 52 week challenge

Well another slack week, Tama is nearly finished only have the sleeves to go.  But also cast on a rather large knitting project that is a test knit for someone so cant even tell you about it but it is more than a one week project I can tell you that much and will take about 1000m of wool.

As for sewing nope still no motivation there.

Others - well my oldest son came home from school a few weeks back telling me all about purple cake day and how they are fundraising for the Kenbe La Foundation and asked if I could make some t-shirts he could raffle, so after alot of deliberation we decided to use the KenbeLa Logo and slogan and come up with these which he is raffling

Week 7 - 52 week challenge

Knitting - 7/7
Sewing - 5/7

Other - 13/7

 

Well week 7 has seen a very slow week of crafting - I made some butterfly hairclips and finished the vertabrae and cast on a Tama and thats all I got done.  Have been busy trying to finish brewing this baby who should have arrived by now, but guess I am going to have to be patient.

 

So a slack week.  Will try harder this week.
