Productivity Plus

I love long weekends! Lots of productivity this weekend at Chez Spoonful of Sugar including....
  • a storage roll for my crochet hooks

  • a case for my sunglasses

  • started a cathedral window project

  • made some pumpkin soup and fresh bread

Wish every weekend was a long weekend :)

Hi! Your Crochet hook is lovely!! It's a bit strange that it is summer over here and the start of the winter in Australia. Your knitting looks lovely too (in your previous posts).

Rachael Rabbit said...

Hi Lisa - it has been ages - I can't believe all the amazing stuff I've been missing. Beautiful and gorgeous as ever! I've actually managed to get some sewing in this week. Which is pretty exciting ..... bad sewing disrupted by baby squeaks ... but sewing none the less!

parTea lady said...

All your sewing projects are great and the soup and bread look yummy. The fabrics in the cathedral window block really pop on the white background. We had a long weekend recently (Memorial Day), however, mine was not nearly as productive. :=(

Leanne said...

I so need to make a knitting needle roll.
