Project finished!

How it was looking this afternoon
Just sewing on the press fasteners

Nothing quite like finishing a project for your own abode, I always feel slightly smug when I finish a project when its for me. Because frankly I rarely make anything for me, and to make something that's for me and practical frankly its almost a myth. Here we are an end of the bed thingie (I have no name for it) with pockets, done and dusted! Go me! It's now willing me to finish the experiment I had with the net curtain in the livingroom, going to finish it today, or at least get a fair whack of it done, so far I have two buttons badly sewn on and doing nawt.


Of course it does make me feel bad at the same time, I wanted to make some more things for my shop but I honestly don't know what to make. Which I feel sad about. So I think I'll get on with the mini patch work sampler and see where that takes me.


What wonders have you made?

Done!

 

Bedroom tidy...for a change.
End of bed hiding thingie put to use.

New WIP

Feels good to be doing random stitching, I think this is the way my work is slowly heading, gone are the days of the pre-planning the working out everything single step, stage, stitch and material you name it. Sure I will still sketch, and have perhaps a little idea of what I want to make but I think owing to a new line of work where concentration and a 100% focus is needed I need to be able to switch off, and this is where these little projects come in.

I hope you enjoy the progress of this little quilt as much as I enjoy stitching it.

Look I listed something!

Well would you look at that I have finally finished some bits and listed them! God it's been an age, but it feels good doing it again and I have a lovely day with a good friend of mine tomorrow and I hope to work on a couple of small projects whilst with her. Thinking some extra large coasters, a clock and maybe something for the wall. Not decided like the idea of going with the flow at the moment. With my new job my mind feels set on concentrating on that but a break is always good especially if it's something you don't really need to be totally focused on.

Hopefully that made sense....

So what can you purchase:

Little Tree Single Coaster

Little Nature Scene Single Coaster

These are what I have been making for my flat, and finally finished today, nothing special and just quick and simple. I know I could have done something fancier but I wanted to keep it fairly low key for the flat as I have other patterns and fabric stuff going on.
