FO: Stash Busting Block No. 1

My challenge for January (& February as it's turned out) was to use my yarn stash rather than buying anything new. I haven't had much time for crafting (or blogging) lately as I've started easing my way back into work and pretty much have no free time. So I have just about finished my first block! Yup, it's taken me this long to knit six 3" squares.








I need more practice on cutting cubes, and the squares are a bit too big which makes the cover a bit loose.



 
But it's not too bad for an off-the-cuff projects with no pattern.

Evie Makes a Valentine's Card

I am really looking forward to Evie being old enough for crafting and making and cooking, but I couldn't resist making this card for her to give her daddy on St Valentine's day.

We were going to try getting a hand print, but Evie was more interested in eating the paintbrush and I was a bit afraid it would all go horribly wrong. Instead I drew around her hand to make it into a rosebud.



I did let her hold the paintbrush to sign inside the card though. :)
