Progress

When I was looking for photos of Lucy for my last post I was having a chuckle to myself about my sewing progress over the year so I thought I might show you some shots of my stuff over the years. I picked the closest date to Lucy's birthday (16/11)

Happy Birthday to my gorgeous, funny, stubborn, snuggly girl

We all love you very much.

A Crafty Package

I received a lovely little crafty package in the mail on Wednesday from Cam. I lent her something recently and when she returned it all these goodies were packed inside.

These gorgeous cards that I won during Blogtoberfest. I'm thinking I might frame some especially that snail I can just see it sitting over my sewing machine.

This fantastic pouch featuring Cam's fabric. This is probably going to be a gift as I already own one of Cam's pouches but I can't say more on here.
These felt flower brooch kits which I know my two are going to love but I am saving them for a rainy day, which could be very soon the way the Sydney weather is going.

These badges which are hidden at the moment - turn away Charlotte if you are reading this!

And these crafty bits and pieces that I can't wait to use.



Oh and there was chocolate too but that didn't make it in to the photo. It was hidden immediately and is now half gone.

A Crafty Weekend

I had a lovely weekend with a wonderful group of crafty girls last weekend, thanks Bianca, Sheridan, Belinda, Jade and Sophie.

I really felt I got a lot done this time sewing from morning until very, very late at night (not as late as this girl though).

I managed to get all but one of the tote bags for Lucy's party done.

An Oliver and S Ice Cream Top completed and I was so much happier with it this time as I had Sophie there giving me some tips. Unfortunately I made an 8 for Charlotte but she really needs a 10, I forgot I thought it ran a little small when I made Lucy's up. So I think I might give it to her friend Sophie and see if it fits her.

I also bound this lap quilt which is going to be a Christmas gift. I actually tied it when I quilted it (thanks Peta for that suggestion) and I loved doing it that way, very quick and easy)

I also made two adapted Miss Madeline dresses, as tops for Charlotte and Lucy but I forgot the elastic so they still need to be finished off.

Thanks again girls for a great weekend

I'm in Love

Check out this fabric line.

I read about it here (and this is where the pictures came from) and I am in love. I'll be first in line to buy it when it comes out. Fingers crossed the dollar stays good or maybe some gift vouchers to myself might come in handy.
