Distractions...

So I am meant to be making party bags for Issy's 5th birthday.  But instead I have made Marcus a coat (buttons yet to be finished), cut out a coat and dress for Issy, learned how to continental knit and have allowed myself to be totally distracted by Ric Rac patterns.  A friend at Brown Owls was making the Kinder Girls on Saturday and all of a sudden I found myself in possession of the Kinder Girls pattern:

And the Disco-Bot pattern:

Thank heavens I didn't see the Gulliver pattern there or I would be in possession of that too:

And I recently invested in some of the Aneela Hoey A Walk in the Woods fabric range

which means I really probably need to get this lovely Little Red doll made to go along with the duvet cover I plan to make from the fabric...

I sense some doll making in my future!  AFTER I make the party bags (honest...)
