Sunday Catching Up


Catching up on my life this Sunday and realising I am easily distracted. Nothing new there my mum would cry. It's not a bad thing mind you between the tidying up and the housework, and the planning of the coming week its good to kick back for an hour or two and enjoy the fact you aren't at work and that you can do what the hell you like.


So here is my random project for a Sunday, take one wooden wreath type shape, item picked up from a pet store, its for rabbit and other animals to chew on. Then raid your large stash of fabric because you have a lot of it, then because you happen to have a pattern shape for a heart, and a massive bag of stuffing create little stuffed hearts and then when your done...which I'm not yet...attach to the wreath. 


What I will do though is add a nice bow I think, and also some fairy lights nearer to Christmas. I am also going to sort out other decorations some point soon, and also I must get back to making another new item for my Etsy store!



Ending on a cute note

WIP


I am feeling really positive today despite still feeling run down and also after standing on the blunt end of a sewing needle (whoever is afraid of having their blood taken do what I just did and I swear you won't complain), ouch. 

I've sold a few more bits last night which was great not had that happen for a while, and I am sewing and sewing more than I have ever done and it's not only for my store but stuff for me too. So I think I've reached the right balance for a change, and whilst I have to go back to work tomorrow long may my stitching continue I need it as much as it needs me. 

If any of you get bored or are looking for inspiration head over to Tumblr the folks on there are great and have a good idea especially for creative and handmade items. 


Currently working on another small item a quilt perhaps or just a mini wall hanging not decided and I like this a lot.

Keep on Making


On a bit of a roll this weekend though the time seems to be going past quicker than I would like, and I still feel rotten. Last night seemed to inspire me to keep making I listed a picture of my recently made clock on Tumblr, and even now it's getting reblogged and liked, currently at 141 notes?! Not only that one of the lovely peeps who liked it purchased it as well. Will be winging its way to OZ tomorrow. =D 

So this morning I decided to use up more of my lovely stash, the stuff I've been holding onto for reasons only known by me, so here is an extra special sparkly needle case. Adorned as you can see by a Swarovski Button.
