Welcome Reggie

We became Great Auntie Gill and Great Uncle Jason recently, so amongst the bibs and nappy wallets I gave, I thought I would make some bunting ... so here it is, I have also added buttons onto the flags, they were sooo cute I could not resist, and it will be up high, so no fear of little fingers pulling at them xxx

Then, could not leave it at that, lol, and made some burp cloths as well lol



Good Morning

Well I have managed to finish Sharon's order.  Here is the beach bag ...

And the rucksack ... I am so proud of this one, I used a tutorial from U-Handbags, just changed it from oilcloth to fabric, Lisa is fab!

And finally for today, some burp cloths, these are about 20 x 10 inches and backed with towelling.  Not for Sharon, but a little make from last night!

Not much more for today, my face is really swollen as I have a bad tooth, so am off to the dentist later, wish me luck!

Competition Winner

I ran a little competition on my FB page last week, if I got 400 likes I would give away a 3m length of bunting.

Well, I made, and surpassed the 400 mark.  This is what I made Emily, my randomly picked winner x

Market Stalls

Went to St Albans market this morning, my friend has told me that there are fabric stall, well there is one chap, he is fantastic.  Got a few half metres, fine cord in red and blue and a pink/cream and black tartan type pattern  ... hang on will take a  pic

Hmm not a great pic but you get the idea xxx

Bunting, Bunting, Bunting!

Wow, I managed to get to the shops, buy the fabric and make the orange bunting today, it's now all packed up ready to go tomorrow, I amaze myself sometimes lol  I also put a little orange rosebud on each orange flag, just thought it finished it off.

The piccie is not very good as it was a bit gloomy today x

I ran a prize draw on my facebook page, a winner was picked randomly from "likes" and the pize was a 3m string of bunting.  A lovely lady won and I just waiting on her fabric so I can make her bunting ... butterflies and flowers, hope she likes it!

Also am still working on Sharon's orders, these are coming along well, amd tackling the backpack at the moment, I thought it would be a little daunting, but so far, so good!  Hope it does not all crumble around me now lol  I am using a tut from U Handbag just love Lisa Lam's site.  When its completed I will post some pics.

Well, it's well past my bedtime now and so before I nod off on here I am off

nite nite all

Nearly 2012

Well, we are nearly there, 2012 I mean!  I have had a tidy up and got my order book out, I have some orders from my lovely friend Sharon to do, and, oh no, that means more fabric shopping!!!

My friend, Claire, told me about a shop in St Albans, and oh wow! it is fabulous, thousands of fabric, more than you can ever imagine in such a compact space, and I found the exact one i wanted for Sharon's bunting!

I also picked up a couple of odds and ends and two cushion panels, which I shall make up soon.
