Hmmm.

So its the hottest summer since forever, esp in Scotland. and I'm knitting. Go figure.

(it is hard to carry a sewing machine on my holiday though, so my only excuse is portability.)

Still creating, don't worry :D

Hope you are all enjoying your summer, whatever you get up to.

Global Warming

Thank flip it is now cool enough to sew. 

My sewing room is in the loft conversion, and the heat that builds up in there has to be experienced to be believed. I am not accustomed to such giddy celsian heights of mid-20 deg and can usually be found slowly melting into a greasy puddle before turning completely mental a la Dave's Syndrome (Black Books - fantastic). But without the beard.

So I've made my pal's wee guy a sun hat, after the success of my daughter's one. 

My daughter's hat

I used a cut up pair of jeans for the fabric, and it turned out - ok, useable but not as neatly finished as the first one.
Could have been due to the fabric, the bias stretch; the different needles and thread; or because I havent been properly sewing while the room's been cooking, so am a bit out of practice :)

Anyway. I wil try to remember to take pics tomorrow, and let you see for yourselves....

And for all you other peely-wallies out there, remember - slip, slop, slap!

(slop your fifth iced pint of water all over you accidentally on purpose; slap your other half for saying its lovely, what's wrong with you; slip into a coma as your organs turn into a puddle on the floor)
