Lots of making and creating to crack on with!!!

I am going back to the UK for July, and so making very good use of my time there and fitting in a few craft fairs as well :) So I have a lot of things to get making and preparing for it all so can take it back with me when I go to the UK in just over a weeks time for my friends wedding. One wood order is placed (the picture) and I am very excitied about making these lovely pieces into beautiful things to sell. My creative mind is going crazy and I can't wait to get my hands on it all.

I have managed to fit in a few extra slots of sewing this week before running to school to teach, which has definitley helped, but the pile is never ending....not that I'm complaing!! I love it this way!!!!

To top it all off the day job is getting busier and busier with looming end of year exams! :S I am sure I will be starting to feel the strain very soon!!!!

Oh and exciting news!!! I'm going to be an auntie again :) I am hoping for another suitably beautiful niece - as I already have two and they are both wonderful. I'll keep you posted on how mum and bump do over the coming months :)

Well...I better go and crack on with it all!!! Happy Friday everyone!

Family

Not had much chnce to crack on....I have had the pleasure of my families company this weekend from Friday to Monday, and although I still haven't caught up with sleep and rest, I had such a lovely time with them :)

I took them into Barcelona on Saturday fr a mooch and some lunch and then we went to a resturant on Saturday night. On Sunday we went to Sitges (see pic) and t was gorgeously sunny! :)

Looking forward to haing the weekend off and hopefully cracking on with much needed sewing! :) I have some wondeful cushions to get on Etsy as well....so roll on the weekend!!!

LOVELY FABRIC!!!!

I am inlove. With some fabric :) This is quite easy for me as fabric is magical stuff to me. It transforms into your imaginations greatest ideas :) I have bought these two gorgeous fabrics and they are really good quality...they feel divine!

I have already started making and creating - I can't actually stop myself!! I had to walk away from the sewing machine last night...actually this morning at 1:48am as I was struggling to see what I was doing, my eyes were so tired! :) So first thing this morning I cracked on again and look at my first two projects from this fabric! :) I have family coming over next weekend and I thought a few throw cushions on their beds would be a nice welcome! I am going to run up another union jack cushion so there are two of them. I just hope the sunshine comes out for my guests as at the moment it is warm but pretty cloudy and depressing...good old unpredictable Spring weather!

I am looking forward to a weekend ahead of sewing and creating :) :) :) and generally relaxing before next weekends guests and madness I am sure! Happy Friday everyone!!!!

Lovely Lovely Fabric!!

I have been to my local fabric shop...its like an Aladdin's cave for me :) Full of gorgeous fabics!!!
it is really reasonably priced as well...and very good quality fabrics.

I got some lovely pale pink gingham and another darker pale pink shade fabric and some 100% cotton white which is divine!

Updates coming soon...as I have been running up a gorgeous cushion (if I don't say so myself!!)

Updating the shop :)

I've been off for a few days with flu :( but today although I have been coughing and snotting all over the laptop (sorry honey!) I managed to update the Etsy shop with a few items that have been waiting to be uploaded, then move the shop and sort it out "technically speaking". Take a look guys and let me know what you think:

I have been a busy bunny painting my studio (or spare room as the boyfriend calls it lol!) Nice and bright now it is finished...but it took some doing!!! Now just for my lovely new desk and shelves so I can get organised :) :) and more importantly creating!!!!

Thought I would share it's progress with you!!

New Plaques....

After my bad news I have been very busy creating and doing things to help me relax and enjoy myself. Plus, I am pretty sure my Aunt would be proud! :)
