Wonky Monday

Easter Monday...

...and my fourth fabulous day off in a row.  So far my three days of sewing, baking and tidying have been very productive.  Not all will be revealed today though ;)  Today it is raining so instead of working on the garden (the sadly neglected garden and veg patch), I have decided to sew!  But, the pattern I am following has stumped me so I'm taking a break. 

My wonky world is growing!

Anyways, I managed to make another 'wonky tree' to go with the others.  I now have three trees and five houses.  My village is expanding.  Did you know that since I moved away from Canada almost 11 years ago, I have lived in seven different places?  This project will represent all the places I've lived in my life and I can count at least 15 places.  I can't, however, count the trees in my life as easily so I'll just make a whole bunch!!!  Anyways, here is the newest 'tree' along with my previous creations!

To continue with the wonky theme, I also made a couple more 'wonky stars'.  These are for the backs of my placemats - my 'one step closer to being done' placemats!  

Wonky stars for the backs of my WiP placemats.

I actually started the long weekend by tidying my wee space and wow what a great feeling.  I got all my WiP's in bags.  My WiP list/pile was re-assessed and a few things were moved over to the UFO (un-finished object) list/pile - I have to be realistic, right?!  I vacuumed too... and the darn thing worked!!  Phew - those silly elastics didn't break it after all!  Yay - Mr Crafty Shenanigans won't be mad at me...and my carpet is thread-free and clean!

I also did some blog-hopping and found some yummy inspiration which got me playing with my fabric stash and scrap pile (which I then had to organise!) and I ended up making a half square triangle 'thing'.  It isn't done yet but is taped up on the fake 'design' wall so I can figure out what to do with it next!  Big white borders and a skinny colour border maybe...

And that's all the crafty shenanigans I can share with you today!  I do recommend popping over to The Village Haberdashery's blog 'The Daily Stitch' to read the interview with Aneela Hoey.  What an amazing lady she is.  And her fabric...yum :)  

I'm linking up with Sew Happy Geek's Manic Monday and Quilt Story's Fabric Tuesday. 
See you [sew] soon!







[UPDATE:  Sunday 29 April: I have FINALLY FINISHED the placemats!!!]

I'll be linking them up with  the April Finishes Linky:
