FNSI...

The first FNSI for 2013 is this evening! Thank you once again Heidi and Bobbi for organising this fabulous event! So what did I get done this evening while the Tennis from Melbourne has been on TV? It's been 'a little bit of this and a little bit of that.'

Firstly, I wove in the ends on the knitted washer that I made for the Heart Valentine Swap, and stitched on the appropriate initial.

 It was suggested that with our handcrafted item, we should include a chocolate treat...but I've seen what happens to chocolate in the mail at this time of year, so I decided to substitute a cake of soap which 'smells good enough to eat' :-)

Boronia and aloe vera soap...

 Then I wrapped up the soap in the washer and tied it up with some 'hearts' ribbon....

 But that's not all! Look what else is going in the parcel... a custard tart???? I found this in a gift shop in 'the Tweed'...it's a soy melt, and it smells delicious too! lol...

I also finished sewing all the squares together in this rug...but admittedly it was only 2 rows that I had left to sew up. These are the last of the bags of donated squares that my friend Helen gave me last year to sew up. I still have to weave in some ends but that should all be done by Monday when the next Knit and Natter is on.

A number of these squares were done in 2 row garter stitch stripes...very effective!

And last of all this evening, I cut out some more long hexies and made a start on tacking some of them over the papers. I got an idea for a new project the other night using my collection of floral prints...

Look out for progress reports and photos :-)

There were lots of people signed up for FNSI, so why not visit some ? Although it's not actually Friday night is some countries yet!
