Craft material shopping before 2020 ends

Craft shopping

 

 

First of all, I wanted to post before christmas.  But I didn't have anymore time to organize. 

 

 I have made a promise to myself that I won't be buying any piece of clothing, and craft materials (especially yarns) by december.  I did however bought some more fabrics, like these checkered peach, zigzags and geometric designs. I'm trying to get away from florals because I have too many and it is readily available in Margao.  These are cotton fabrics and the quality is much better than what I get in Margao. I got these from @onestopfabricshop on IG.  Her cotton fabrics are really nice of high quality, although I had so much trouble because of the courier. Since I'm 45 minutes from Margao, some couriers aren't covering the area.  I think that even the owner of @onestopfabricshop also had a hardtime giving instructions to her staff, but still they dont get it.  Via Indiapost, I always get it fast or it won't get lost, since post office is a walking distance to our house.  The plain fabrics, I got from Margao.  These are also cotton ones, but very soft type which I really like.

I also bought half meter of insul bright to make for more potholders.  This I have purchase online via etsy at verafabrics.

I don't seem to find this insulated type of batting around India.  It reached within 2 weeks from UK to India, which is not too much of a waiting time. I also bought some wooden rings on amazon.in,  @knot_it_all (ig account), which I wanted to use for my kitchen towels.I forgot now, when it arrived. I guess in november that was.:-) but I just opened it now. 

So, I really didn't buy much of craft materials, which is a good thing for now because I want to slowly declutter things in the house.  

 Finished Projects

This  blue top, is one the biggest project I had to finish at least before this year ends.  This is cobbler pattern by Martin Storey from Rowan Designs.  After a year, I finally finished this. hahaha..I would say this is an intermediate design. Though the pattern is an easy repeat, but I got lost in counting and found it hard when the pattern says to decrease number of stitches in a row and at the end you need to get that certain stitch counting.  Or maybe it's just my first time doing a pattern from Martin Storey. :-) I am putting this particular on available for purchase. Please check on my IG ready to ship and send me a dm.

May we all have a better 2021...as uncertain as we are.  May we always have renewed hope everytime.  Compliments of the season! Merry Christmas to everyone
