November Finishes

This is Molly Jayne who I finished today as a special Xmas gift for Miss B - She is very sweet in her petticoat and fairy dress. I think she needs some more clothes if I have time. And below isvmy first Quilt (although only small) Gail Pans Christmas Wish Quilt all finished. I am quite pleased with the result. bAs usual the photo doesnt do the sashing justice but it is a Nancy Halverson fabric with hooy leaves and berries which ties together the red and green very nicely. I can now decorate the house.

Decorating Begins

Like all of you crafters I am sure decorating for Christmas is a MAMMOTH task - so I have started today with my Blog (much easier than a house) SO let the festivities begin!!

Homespun Excitement

I was sitting catching up on some reading today when there was a loud banging at the door -it was a parcel (or at least the postman with a parcel). I thought is it my SS present so quick. No - I have won a prize from Homespun. A prize of Sherri Berry goodness. I have never had such a stash of fabric( I am quite new to crafting and buy as I go what I need)If you have seen any pretty projects using this unusual xmas range le tme know because I now have a new mission - to use fabric from my stash

The Angel has landed

This week has seen a little parcel arrive each day. First from the lovely Jantine my stitching angel who sent me a sewing machine mat, a personalised drawstring bag , a piece of fabric and an oven mitt with little blue dutch motives on it and a little pincushion which arrived here today(no photo yet). Thankyou so much. Jantine has been a wonderful angel who has given me several sneak peeks and secret messages. I also received The Paris Collection pattern from Cinderberry stitches which I won in a giveaway. What a treat. I leave you with A picture of happy Miss B in her Butterfly Kisses dress - I wish she was smiling now but she is hot and tired and screaming Must go .

Wings

My Angel present has taken flight across the seas but not overseas. Hope it survives.

Happy Anniversary to us

Today our family celebrates 13 years of wedded bliss. Hooray for us. Am just stepping out for a quick trip to the zoo with Miss B. Photos of the Christmas dress will come up soon

Sunny days

A beautiful Sunny Monday today. We have been out to Hahndorf today to visit Misty Hollow and The fairy Garden. A nice day for some photos Ruby's Dress all boxed to go with a matching covered Button Hairclip and a little lambie for her to hold.

Also Miss B's patchwork skirt. Have just finished her Ballet dress too. Phew - it feels a bit like a sewing sweatshop here at the moment.

One more costume to go and the CHristmas dress and then I can relax for October.
