My Pincushion

Finally I can show a full picture of the pincushion I made for my swap partner Cat.

 I love it so much that Cat was lucky it had her initial on it, or I might have kept it! Lucky she seems to have loved it as much as me. Make sure you enter my giveaway to get one of your very own. I really need to make one for myself sometime too!  Lucky I just happened to have these bits and pieces laying around!

Off to decide what to make first out of my Tilda book...Maybe the bag? 

I'll try and take some photos of the inside tomorrow when the lights a bit better.

My Creative Space....and a GIVEAWAY!

Playing with my new Tilda fabric all the way from England!

The store where I work imported them in and I grabbed them quickly off the shelf. Can't decide what I want to do with them yet so just keep re-arranging them into different piles!

In celebration of my Birthday I'm going to do a Giveaway! You can have the choice between a handmade pincushion like the one I have made for the Foxy pincushion swap (in colours of your choosing) or if you are a follower of this blog, the brand new Tilda book which is not released yet but I have a copy of! 

You know how it goes, one entry for a comment, two for comment and follower, three entries for comment & follower & write about it on your blog. 

I will leave it open until next Friday (23rd).

I'm off to go play with my fabric and stop myself from buying more!

After last year....

After what happened last year...

 We were away and he forgot my Birthday. This was my handmade card, there were no presents (He did make it up to me big time!). 

I thought I better give you some ideas for this year....

  

1. Owl Bobby Pins 2. Matryoshka Art Doll 3. This Bag and This Book (or you could put the book in the bag!) 4. Smooching Button (I do love the "I'd rather be smooching my crafty girlfriend" too) 5. My Favourite Spot in Spring Cushion

Ps. It's this Friday.

     

What happens when I get a little OC at work...

All the felt ends up in a nice little rainbow pattern and the fabrics get put in order from lightest to darkest!

Thinking about doing a giveaway for my birthday next week...

My Creative Space...

Trying to get this finished...

I think I have found that I really am a hand sewing kind of person, it just has not 'clicked' with me yet. Although I can't wait to get it finished. Unfortunately it is going straight into the stop where I work as a sample and not on my bed (yet).

Almost finished my pincushion for the swap...

 Sorry I can't show you more but I have personalised the inside of the oval and I think it may give it away if I show you any more. I am really hoping my swap partner likes it.

Ps. Why I needed to join in with the pin cushion swap...

At least it's in Kaffe!


 

Grenfell Door Steps

Gorgeous door steps in Grenfell....

This bottom one is my favourite. Love to make a quilt the same (in my spare time!). Hope you had a fantastic Easter weekend. I did no sewing what so ever so need to buckle down this week and finish my pin cushion. Still have to background fabric for DLN quiltalong so just keep gluing down the edges of my petals. Are loving this quilt on DLN flickr.

Help....!

My Easter Weekend away bag that I made yesterday...

What happens when I take out the props holding it up for the above photo...
