So its been a little while since my last post, I thought rather than waffle about some of the things I wanted to make but never got round to I'd actually get stuck in and make them instead so I'd have some pictures to post!
Well I've been desperately trying to finish this bunk bed curtain that I keep talking about and finally, FINALLY I have finished it!
Its not that its a massively complicated design it just required cutting and hand sewing etc which are things that I just can't get done when my daughters are up. But now its done I'm pretty pleased with the results (though my machine embroidery needs serious practice) its only for home so doesn't matter that its not totally perfect.
Also I've been making some bunting for my Etsy which I'd like to do alot more of in a million designs (slight exaggeration).
My other latest addiction is Decopatch give me some glue and cut up paper and I'm away, I'm really pleased with the mirror but it still needs a bit of work to build up the birds round the centre.
Next job reshoot all my items for my various shops and pages!?!? I don't expect this to be completed anytime soon but no time like the present hey?
Hey there!
Finally making some progress with some of my projects, got the machining done on the curtain for my daughter's bunk beds (got slightly carried away hemming and its now not quite wide enough but hey ho) just need to add all the appliques and it will finally be done.
I will ad pictures of my progress and my finished projects, but I'd also like to start getting some tutorials on here. I'm going to do a Cushion but to start I am going to pop a quick tute on tonight on how to make a little gift bag which can be used for little presents, vouchers or for small children (don't put your children inside this my cause slight confusion and tantrums but they might like to stick something in it).
and completely unrelated looks like it may snow today and I will finally get to use the sledge which is sulking in the cupboard and my toasty welly socks, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Yesterday I had 1 hour in the morning while baby was sleeping and wiggle was at playgroup, did I make the most of my time? get as much cleaning done as I could or get cracking on my ever growing pile of projects? NO of course not I pottered about for half an hour wondering what to do then sat down and made a heart from beads!!! Pretty as it is it was not on my list or a practical use of child free time (sitting down and reading the rest of the hunger games would have been better).
Today I had learned from my mistake.
By some stroke of luck Bunch was asleep by the time we were back from the school run, so I seized my chance and in the hour or so I had I managed to get all my bits and pieces out, ironed all the fabric for my daughters bunk bed curtain, cut out half the applique pieces, press the ties and stuck a load of washing in the machine for good measure.
Definately a step in the right direction for a more organised and productive new year!
Just need to get cracking on that diet hmmmmm ..................cake anyone?
