Making Monday

I've been away and busy so I haven't done a Making Monday post for a couple of weeks, but never fear, you will get it all in one huge bumper post today.

Colouring:

I had a small stash of canvases which used to be covered with fabric to brighten up a dull flat I lived in. I removed the fabric and experimented with colouring in. If you use a permanent marker for the outline and ordinary felt tips for the colouring, it works brilliantly. It's a wonderful, cheap way of creating art for your walls. After I made these for myself, I also drew some for my godson's family and the kids have really enjoyed colouring them in.

Sewing:

Barbie's had a couple of new outfits:



This was the 'Clothes off her back' challenge. The top is refashioned from Barbie's own dress.



I love this dress and am very jealous of Barbie.

Knitting:

I HAVE FINISHED THE SOCKS OF DOOM.



The picture shows how far I got before realising I had made two left socks instead of one left and one right. I have reknitted so that there is now a proper pair. That completes my 2011 knitting commitments. Which is good, because Sock Madness will be starting up again soon.
