My knitting I pick up in the evenings sometimes, I have almost finished the first sleeve. It is actually a lovely golden yellow but the colour doesn't show up in the photo.
I started making a Christmas ornament for February and just didn't get it done, I'm hoping it will be completed for March instead.
I have started some secret sewing on my Pay it Forward gifts (see here), I would love to get them made in the next few months.
One finish I have had was little beaded booties, there's nothing like a deadline to get a gift made quickly! These are for a colleague who is having a baby girl next month.
And the last picture above ... yep, we got to spend a weekend recently back at Papamoa beach. It was for church camp and we went a day early which was such a treat to visit our summer holiday spot. And yes, I did have a swim in the ocean :) Wendy xx
