An Xmas Gift Finished

Hiya

I have only made the 1 thing this week.  A bag!  I love it.  I even managed to put pockets in it. :D  I did make it for my sister in law but I think its too big for her so will scale down the pattern and my step mother in law can have this one.  I hope she likes it.  Will put some smellies or something inside or maybe a matching organizer for her.

I have some shirts of hubby's (well, mine now - ha ha) taking up space so might try making something out of them and I want to make another organiser like mine.  I am also working this week so not sure if I will have time but fingers crossed i will.  Wow, a busy week for me.

Back soon

Art Cases and a Cake :D

Good Afternoon

Thanks for coming back. 

I have been making small art cases for kids this week.  Ideal to keep in your bag if you have a doctors appointment or if you are in a restaurant. 

My first one came out too big.  So I have put in a diary and a A5 notepad and will put it in my folksy shop this week.

So I altered my measurements and made this one.  I like it, must make some for my kids.

My mate then ordered some for her kids, so I have made these 2 very girly ones for them.  Need to buy more pens next week.

And finally here is a huge cupcake that I made with my daughter today.  Its only taken us a month to use the cake mould. :D  Next time I must remember to oil it as half the cake was stuck to the silicone.   Never mind, I am still impressed with how well my daughter did.  Cant wait to eat it later.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Plan B or should that be C.......

Hiya

I hope you all had a great bank holiday weekend.  We have been bowling, the cinema (Saturday morning £1.50 each otherwise it would have been £40 :O ), soft play and just spoiling the kids.  Had a great time.  Shame about the weather though as did want to go a few long walks on the beach.  Never mind, only a few weeks until the next one.  :)

I didnt get any sewing done, nor did I even touch the dragon.  But I did crochet this..

I love it.  Its in my folksy shop but I think I need to make one for me.  Its so bright and cheerful (I am liking bright and cheerful at the moment).

After mad cleaning today I am hoping for some sewing over the next few days when hubby is at work and really do need to finish the dragon, or at least sew together the bits I have so I can get inspired again.

Back soon.

Mine, All Mine

Evening all

As usual my plans didnt quite happen.  But, I did get to the material shop and bought some lovely lovely lovely satin.  So I decided to make myself a diary organiser.  But bigger!

Its so bright and has space for my a4 pad which i will put all important info in, my diary, small notepad for meal plans or something and notepad for shopping lists or any other lists i want to make.  Its great.  And ideal for me and so very very pretty.  :D

Made the Organizer, now just ot use it! :D

Hello All, thanks for popping by.

I have done a little bit to my kitchen.  Two red pots on the window sill which I planted 1 hot pepper plant and 1 sweet pepper plant.  And thats about it!!!  But its a start. :D

Still not done anything with the dragon except buy the stuffing.  And whilst there I picked up a 30 bottle Chardonnay wine kit reduced from £24 to £6.  Happy days!  Just need to find time to make it.

Instead of making the kitchen thing I decided to make an organiser for my paperwork and diary.  So I made these. 

Ideal for my diary, notepad, little note book and maybe paperwork.  I can have lots of lists at my fingertips rather than piled up EVERYWHERE.  But my mate had these so had to make more.

I have lots of fabric I like so I made these 3.

This is my favourite one.  I love the colours, so bright and cheerful.

I have to buy more interface tomorrow and then I want to make some kids travel art cases.  Although you may have notice my plans dont always happen! lol

A House into A Home?????

Hiya

Sadly still not done anything.  Ok, I have done a bit but not finished anything.  The dragon is coming along slowly.  I now have a head, body, 2 legs with claws, 2 arms with claws and 2 wings.  But ran out of stuffing and now have to figure out how to do the tail and some sort of spines for his back.

I was reading a blog earlier with a link to another blog (for some reason i cant link to it) which was about making her house look nice.  We do not have any spare money at the moment so I think I am going to try and start making my house into my home thriftily.  The kitchen was done out a few years ago and is looking tatty, thats what happens when you go to a cheap place who have now closed!  So needs painting and bits I can make nice, made nice!  The living room needs new flooring and new wallpaper put up.  As does dinning room.  Hall needs new floor and under the laminate looked at as it does dip quite alot when stepped on, and painted.  So I have a lot to do.  Before doing all that I need to clean and de-clutter.  Cant even put anything up in attic as its full of junk up there. 

So, going to try and make my little house, my dream home.  I think this will look good in my kitchen.  http://littlebiggirlstudio.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/spice-up-your-kitchen-meal-planning.html I need to find material that will look good, I think I have an idea of what I want, I just need to find it. 

The first thing I should do is to clear out under the stairs.  Wonder if I will get round to that next week.  Maybe the first thing I should do is write a list..............

OOOOPPPPSSSSS A Month has passed

Hiya everyone

It appears to have been a month since I last posted.  I am very sorry.  I havent really done anything in the last month. 

I did the second and final cake decorating and here are my cakes

Embarrasinly that is all I have to show you.  I am still working on my dragon.  It has a head, body and legs at the moment.  So must crack on with that.  And need to get organised and buy some fabric for the rag dolls I want to make.

Hopefully I will be back soon with a dragon to show you.
