I haven't forgotten you...

My sincere apologies I have been seriously neglecting my blog these last couple of weeks, it wasn't intentional but I've done my usual "crafting under pressure" (which to be fair makes me achieve alot more). I am having a stall at the .....


It looks ace and I'm really excited but it means I've been sewing like crazy.

I finished my frilly pinny (deciding whether to add a pocket or not)

I'm really  pleased with it so I think I'll keep this one to wear to craft fairs and then if people like it I can make them to order in people's choice of fabrics.

I've  also been sewing hearts ready for making into garlands...
(tonight I am mostly closing up seams)

I've even tried my hand at making a feather fascinator, I'll need more practise on this but for a first try its not tooooo bad.

Aaand a couple more noticeboards,I love these ones I've started finishing them with buttons instead of upholstery tacks and think it gives a great result.

So this on top of jogging (yes really twice a week and I'm enjoying it), working and my new obsession with Bones I'm actually being fairly productive, but I will make sure not to neglect my blog so much and after the Vintage Fair I'll put a new tutorial up.......honest!

My week - Tuesday

Today I wake up clinging to the edge of my daughters single bed having given up on plodding back and forth in the night, then the usual morning routine ensues.
After dropping my eldest off at playgroup I come home and get made to turn Mr Tumble on as soon as I get through the door (those of you who don't know who he is are probably better off). I take this opportunity to start a badge based around The Hunger Games (due to be released at the end of the week and I'm quite excited)


Its going to have "The Girl Who Was On Fire" stitched on the black part, nothing special but I wanted to do some geekery!

Then as baby and me sat on the sofa chilling I got a phonecall to say we had someone who wanted to do a viewing on our flat (its for sale), this is great but they wanted to come at lunchtime and this involved me springing off the sofa and tidying like a lunatic.

After I pick my daughter up we go to town with mum because I'm making a noticeboard for a friend and I've run out of the ribbon I was using annoyingly so had the fabric shop so I had to pick a different ribbon and re-staple the whole lot!!!!
Not wanting to get home before the viewing was finished I suggested we go for lunch at the local garden centre (jacket potato, chilli and salad).

Tuesday night is my night for getting making bits sorted while my hubby is out at darts, so I've finished the noticeboard (I custom make these check out my facebook page)

 and now I'm blogging to you lovey lot! but I need to go and stitch my badge so laters dudes x
