What I've been up to . . .

Yet another hat, a bag for a nieces birthday and 2 more 'boy' seahorses as I have given the other 2 away.  The hat is a Lazy Day hat by Make It Perfect, another hexagon bag by Narioka and the seahorses are Melly and Me.

I am hoping to start on a quilt and laundry bag for Aussie Heroes on the weekend.  Will share the progress!

LOTS to share!!

LONG time between blog posts but I have been quietly working away on finishing a few things and cleaning up the sewing room.  Sad that I have no one to blame but myself for the mess (although Master 1 likes to 'help').  I have finally gotten around to sorting through my fabric stash and have boxed and labeled most of it.  It is still a work in progress.  Essentials for the process included cup of tea, label maker and plastic boxes.  LOVE The Reject Shop!

 

Rainbow of colours!

 Master 6's house team for school is Topaz.  The MOTH thought that yellow streamers on the pram was a bit much and too embarrassing, so I sewed words onto shirts instead!  I did the lettering on the machine - not enough time to hand sew and had lots of lovely comments!

This is a mei tai baby carrier that I made last year to help with dropping off the kids at school.  Brilliant!!  To see how it works, click here.  I also used it when I went on the plane and found it great that I could have my hands free to grab my luggage and stuff.

Finally finished the number wall hanging although I still haven't put it up on the wall yet!  I really enjoyed doing the feather stitching in the ditch for this one.  Made it a bit more interesting and I love to show off verigated cotton!

And of course I finished a whole pile of nappy wallets in some awesome new fabrics!  I have Australian animals, farm animals, frogs and jungle animals all up on my facebook page if anyone would like to purchase.

And that's about it for now.  Hopefully the tidying and sorting will continue and I can start on some new projects soon!
