Crafting Mistakes or Errors

I read this a long time ago and really loved it

So I thought I would share

One mistake means you love the recipient,

Two mistakes is humility,

Three or more mistakes is a design feature!!

Old but not quite vintage

Hi everyone

Anyone know what exactly makes things vintage?

I have always taken them to be roughly over 30 years old???

Anyway, I would like to share with you something I started all-but 29 years ago

And I also finished it well within a year

Must have had some time up my sleeve back then  :-)

Don't know how - as hubby frequently was away for work and three babes under 13 months!!!

Oh, that's it - hubby was away   :-)

Anyway, back to what I want to show you

A = Australian Flag

B = Brolga

C = Cockatoo

D = Dusky Hopping Mouse

E = Echnida

F = Flannel Flower

G = Goanna

H = Honeyeater

Mixed post

Hi everyone

This is a post with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and nothing much at all ☺

"Vintage Cross-Stitch"

and no I did not pick it up at a op-shop

I made it, for a school project, about 1975/76

And no, I did not iron it for its photo shoot.

The material is one of those really hard to iron linens, no matter what I try it never got that beautiful "just-ironed" look and so I did not bother.

Now, if I ever find where I have stored some other projects I did as a child, I will share them with you.  They are even older than this.

But it did start me on a crafting habit for many years.

Unfortunately I have not touched it for years, as time just was not available.

But I have had an "urge" lately, so they may start turning up here

That's if my eyes can "see" what I have to do ☺

Now on to something different

I told you I would rework this pattern, see here for details

No, its not the same one - tsk, tsk, tsk

Here they are both together to prove it ☺

And the second square in Knit4Charities KAL

Yep, it was a rattle

Currently working on the third square, but no ideas yet as to what it may picture

Knit4Charities also have a very small Flickr group here

Most members post their photos on the Yahoo group website

They can also be found here on Ravelry

Have a great weekend
