Lots of "Stuff"

I thought you may like to see what I am up to at the moment  - in the sewing room that is!

Today I received my swap block from my Swap Blocks Australia partner, Kay.  A lovely little house block:


Isn't it cute!

I am currently working on a few things - Tunisian crochet to start.  Do you know how to do this crochet?  It is really interesting and I have wanted to learn since last year, so I read all the stuff online, books and bought the needles and I just could not get the hang of it!  So yesterday I went online and checked out You Tube, and watched some videos, so now I think I know all about it!! 

I obviously learn by looking, and this is what I'm doing:


Remember I'm a beginner now:



Doesn't look like much does it? Maybe you will see it better if you click on the picture.
I'm real proud of myself!

I'm also crocheting a new shawl - I gave up on the last one, but this is much nicer:


I think this one is going to be much better.

I'm also doing some sewing and some embroidery, but I will show you that tomorrow night.  I think this is enough for tonight.

See you tomorrow.

Good luck with the crocheting...I have never heard of that style. Will be interested to see it in real life.
