A time for everything? Really?

The next two study periods at uni are textiles subjects, so i am hoping so much that I might be able to sew again soon. Mostly though, I have written essays and made some prints in my printmaking subject.

Sadly, and to my own detriment I have done no sewing since February really - how depressing!

I have a further confession. Spotlight here, moved from it's old location into a new -big- mega warehouse space, and I have not even had the pleasure of walking into it yet - devastated!

I have done a bit of crochet here and there, nothing finished, some went very wrong and needs re-doing.

At the moment I am working on a little, retro-inspired yellow, cotton, summer, baby cardigan, with bee buttons. I'm hoping I can make the sleeves correctly, because the last time i made this pattern in a blue and white, thicker yarn, the sleeves came out quite a lot narrower than the shaped space for them, I have no idea what happened!
This time I am going to check it bit by bit and not just follow the pattern!

Theres still a lot to do, the sleeves, the neck band and front border for the buttons.
I hope you are all having way more sewing/crochet/knitting time than I am. So now I will go and catch up with all your lovely blogs before i go back to my art history essay!!

My Place & Yours

Although I have lurkingly checked out everyones blogs for the My Place & Yours game in the past, (you can read about it over there at Hello Owl), this is the first time I have decided to participate! This weeks theme is YELLOW.
I began this week eating a YELLOW cake. (I didn't know yellow was a theme at the time!)

Today however, I decided to really clean up the house before I photographed anything, however, YELLOW has been finding/following me everywhere.
First YELLOW was there in the kitchen when I needed to mop...

Then in the laundry when I needed to wash with YELLOW...

Then the deliveryman arrived at the door with a package of YELLOW Ebay'd goodness...

Then YELLOW watched me from high on top of the pantry while I began to make lunch...

Finally YELLOW Jaime (Oliver) and other assorted YELLOW sat here on my desk, next to me while I blogged about YELLOW...

But I got YELLOW back, I washed and hung YELLOW out to dry...in the YELLOW sunshine.

You too can look at more YELLOW and maybe participate in the  My Place & Yours game over there at Hello Owl. 

Psst P.S. hehehehe YELLOW disclaimers:
Actually my Mother in law is coming to visit soon, so as much as the curtains are washed today because they are YELLOW, it's really just because today's my day off and the house needs to be uber-clean before her arrival. Oh, and I may have allegedly chosen to omit the other pegs and knitting needles, that weren't YELLOW but I'm not admitting to anything ;)  Have a Lovely YELLOW rest of the week everyone!
