Too many projects!

As I alluded to in my last post, I've got a number of things ongoing.  The first is the reupholstery of my grandfather's rocking chair.  I've been procrastinating over this one for a long while, but last weekend I started to get on with it.  The photos below are of it in it's mostly stripped down state.  The only thing that I've done so far is staple the new foam onto the front of the back.  More to come on this one, particularly as my partner has been ultra patient with a useless chair lurking about the house.



I've got a pink flowered glazed cotton fabric, which I originally purchased with the intention of making curtains, but it's solid enough to handle this application.  Hopefully, I'll progress this soon.

Whilst I was looking for thread to start stitching the seat cushion cover, I found a long stitch project and a cross stitch project that have both been languishing for ages too.  During the weekday evenings, I've done a bit more on the long stitch.  But I put that down to pick up some knitting on Friday.  And I managed to get a baby beanie hat done Friday evening!



It's knitted in Robin Bonny Babe 4-ply on 4mm double pointed needles (I favour Pony aluminium needles) and is destined for my step-grandson.  And his mother has requested another sweater and bootees, so I've started on those now.  As I finish them, I'll post photos.  Lets hope that it's soon!
