TODAY I MADE....

Custom order bunting.

Bags for pyjamas. I thought they would be a nice idea for sleepovers. There is a pocket in the front for a toothbrush or small toy, are fully lined and have an easy drawstring closure.

A BLOGGY BREAK

As you can see I haven't been around either of my blogs of late. I've still been blog hopping but have spent most of my time getting ready for markets. I had my first market for the spring season at my work on Thursday where we had a homebased business market morning. I had a lovely time and all of my time and energy was worth it.

On the 9th of October the local arts & crafts market starts up again and I can't wait, I love being out there with people and chatting about what I do.

Something I've been playing with are these blooms....

I have a few ideas for what to make with them, stay tuned.

The small blooms are made with my scrapbooking Tim Holtz dies, I wondered if I could use the dies for fabric and the answer is yes.

The larger blooms are made from torn strips of fabric, handsewn individually, then together.

Well I had better get back to it, thanks for looking and if you leave a comment, just know each and every one is really appreciated :)

BUNTING

Lots of fun to make, hopefully I will make some more up this weekend.

JUST KEEP SEWING, JUST KEEP SEWING.......

Sorry for the lack of posts but I've been flat out sewing for my up and coming markets.

ROLL UP MARKET BAGS

AND SOME THAT JUST NEED HANDLES.....

BABY BEANIES AND PIXIE HATS

DRESSES

FINISHED QUILTS

and there's still so much more to do.

SURPRISES

There were a couple of them this weekend. Firstly my camera isn't broken, I'm not going to go into details, just know I'm feeling a little silly.

Secondly, I found some quilt blocks that I could have sworn I accidently threw out over 3 years ago. After laying them all out I realised that I didn't like the quilt anymore so decided to use the blocks to make these little lined pouches.

and in more making news, I cut and glued a heap of double sided chipboard pages for some mini albums for my up and coming markets.

Well I'm off to make some cute little baby hats. So many ideas, so little time......sigh

:( and :)

The sad face is for my SLR that decided to crap itself this week.

The happy face is for what I received in the post......

My DQS11 swap from Terrie Sandelin. I love all of the items that are in this package and can't wait to hang my doll quilt on my "becoming very full" wall in my sewing space.
