My Secret Santa has landed


Well I just got home and there was a lovely parcel waiting for me from my EB Sewing Secret Santa, the lovely Belinda. There were 2 pieces of fabric (a nice spotty one and a christmas one), 3 different ribbons and a t-shirt for Charlotte appliqued with the goldfish fabric. Thanks again Belinda.

EB Secret Santa

After only posting my package on Saturday it has been received by Leah in Victoria (well done Australia Post). Now it has been recieved I can post some photos of what I sent. I am really pleased Leah was happy with the parcel expecilly as she has been a one-woman show lately with her hubby away. I hope my gift made her smile.
I made each of the kids a "reindeer" snail with the one for Poppy-mae with terry towelling body and a crinkly shell. The only one I haven't got a picture of is the one for Darcy but I think Leah will post a pic of that. The snails were all made from the Michael Miller christmas fabric I got recently.
For Leah herself I made a pot holder and also sent her some fabric. In her ss quiz she mentioned she loved broderie angelis (wrong spelling I know) so I got her some of that which was really soft and also sent her a piece of zoo fabric.
For Leah's husband Steve I made a stubby holder (also from the Michael Miller fabric). Hopefully it will keep his beer cool over the festive season.
PS - excuse the photos I was trying out some new locations to make the items look a bit more interesting.

Paloma Bird skirt



Here is the skirt I made out of the paloma bird fabric.


Also a photo of Lucy in the little dress made by Ingrid. The pants were still a little too big but the dress looked great.

Some Lovely Gifts

We had a lovely visit today from Ingrid, Belinda and Julie from EB. It was great to meet up and put some faces to the names of the people I chat with.

We also got some lovely gifts. This beautiful cat was made by Ingrid for Charlotte. Charlotte loves it and had named it Rainbow.



This set was also made by Ingrid for Lucy and it is a dress and bloomers and a wee rabbit. Funnily Ingrid used the same material I had used to make a rug for Lucy and I love it.


















This singlet is was a gift from Belinda. It is appliqued with a great goldfish fabric which I really love.

Novy's Outfit



Here are pictures of Lucy "wearing"the outfit made by the lovely Novy. She's not too happy in the photo as she had just had a bath, which she doesn't really like yet.
