Wedding Present - Memories Album

Finally I am getting this post up as I should.
This is a scrapbooking album I made from photos my friend gave me.

As she was getting married, I thought it timely to make a gift for her and meant I could also improve some of my scrapbooking skills.

I must say last minute rush always kicks in. I had 2 months to do this but I had to leave it until the last 2 weeks to complete it. By the end of it, I had had enough and never wanted to see anything to do with scrapbooking for a long while.

However, upon reflection I am glad I gave it a go, it was lots of fun to make (albeit some minor flaws that I know for next time) and great to see the outcome.

Beanie For Snow!

After noticing how old and tattered R's balaclava was, it was time to get him a replacement.
Instead of making a purchase, and tired of the current scarf I was making, I decided to use the opportunity to try my hand at a beanie.

Altering a pattern and learning crochet (intriguing but finally managed to click), I am reasonably satisfied with the result. Next time I know to make it a little longer.
