About me

User: blytheswideshut
Name: Karyn
I read a lot of other Blogs, journals and diaries. I make stuff. Sometimes I write stuff too. I kept a geocities diary for 3 years once. I'm hoping that will mean I'll keep posting here for more than a month or two.

crafty crafty

I made stuff all day today.  Oblong bag, baby bibs, tape measure holders, needle holders, zippered mini bags, customised pin board.  In between I shopped for fabric for October's "Tie One On", organised lunch for the deck building crew, went out for dinner, all this and no nanna nap mid afternoon!  It's 1:30am here, and I'm only just beginning to feel a little weary.  I had a cup of strong coffee at about 9pm, and it's served me well.  Lately I've been very sensitive to the effects of caffeine, so much so that during the week I can't have any after about 6pm, or I have no hope of being able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour.  Reasonable hours for me are generally 12am-1am, but I don't really want to be buzzing around the house any longer than I have to.

I am sending off a fabric swap to Van in Portugal on Monday.  I found some fantastic fabric for her, and am including a few little bits and pieces as well.  She has a beautiful 2 1/2 month old Daughter, so I had to include a little something for her.

I'm posting pics of all my industry tomorrow.  Although back-tack and those for my swap with Van will have to wait until they've been received.  Next on my list of projects is the Dachshund softie for Jo over at misocrafty.  Then is the "mixed media" apron for October's "Tie One On".  Then a bag and giftie for my Mum's birthday.  Sometime in the very near future (like tomorrow) I really have to fit in making about 20 pairs of Blythe stockings.  I have to say, I'm not actually looking forward to that.  They're so fiddly and time consuming, and I'm pretty over the whole Blythe stockings thing at the moment.  However these are orders that have been on my desk for a few weeks now, and I have to attend to them whether I want to or not.

Yawning now. must sleep.
