FINISHED! Asher's pirate vest and bag

whew - managed to finish it off today! took me AGES to get the lacing in the sides, but i think it was worth the fiddle

and here is everything that a pirate boy needs - vest, swords, patch, earring, periscope (is that what they are called?  the extendable eye piece telescope thing? or is that on a submarine?) and hat!

and of course, what do you keep it in when you are not being a swash-buckling pirate?  your pirate sack of course!

also good for keeping loot in.....

while i am typing this, hubby is giving the little human his bath and they are both making a lot of happy noise - lovely.  thought i would share this photo with you of hubby mowing the grass of our front yard and the little human helping

very adorable - lots of cars slowing down for a look-see.  glad to see i am not the only one who thinks he is cute :)

pugs and kisses

Asher's pirate vest and boy oh boy quilt

where has this week gone?
im not really sure to be honest, but i know i haven't done a lot of craft-ing...

i have nearly finished hubby's nephew's pirate vest - can't you tell..... :)

not a great piccie, but it is a very simple vest with the shoelace type cord to go in the eyelets in each side, like a lace up effect

i am CRAP at dressmaking, so it is a very rudimentary vest, but should get the job done for dress ups!

have also been working on the boy oh boy quilt for the homespun design comp - im getting the embroidery done slowly.  started thinking about how to quilt it too - think i will do some in the ditch and the some hand quilting of bigger perle cotton stitches....not sure yet

hope you are all finding time for some craftiness of your own

pugs and kisses
