Three months?!?!

Wow !! That three months has gone incredibly quick !!

I'll start with what has kept me from the old internets recently.....

My new workroom :)

and my fab, extremely comfy £6.50 ebay work chair :)

It has took a little longer than we would have liked to complete but it worked out much, much cheaper to do it a bit at a time.  Now I need to actually use it and mess it up a little !!

Next is a little blue bear that I made for one of my lovely customers (you know who you are crazy lady ;))).  She gave it to her mum as a gift and I believe she loved it very much.....

Had lovely day a couple of months back making brooches with my friend D from see you at D's.... We need to do this again soon !!

A little heart for Jenny .......

I've also been having a little play around with the unfinished wall in my lounge...although I'm not sure how long it will stay like this ;).....

Finally.....I said goodbye to Little S :(.  She was inspired by summer days on the beach, as you will see.........

Well that's all for today and I hope that you lovelies are well! It may be a while until you see me again....little monkey number two is on the way and this time it is totally zapping my energy, although I am hoping to mess up my new room so it may be sooner rather than later :))

Enjoy the sunshine !!!

 Lots of love

Not much waffle :)

You know me by now.....lots of photo's and not much waffle.  Very good at talking but not so good at writing :/, sorry.

I have really enjoyed my work this month...I have made a huge decision not to take many orders or commissions.  I feel I need to wake up each morning feeling inspired to create something new as otherwise I would have nothing to show you.  Ideas seem to come more easily when I don't think about them for to long or get them finished for a certain time, hope this makes sense.

So here goes..... first of all a papercut.  Happiness :)

Happiness was inspired by a gift I was given by my lovely friend D from See you at D's.  A gorgeous blue Vulcan Junior toy sewing machine.  I've had my eye on one for a while and it has to be about the best gift ever.  Thank you D :)

Introducing Little M and Lola......

Another one I've struggled to part with :(  But she has now gone to her new home and I hear she is very happy.

'Imagine' is a small A4 paper cut which I decided to hand stitch into.  I am hoping to do another one with some machine stitching also......

Little G, she has also flown the nest :(.....

I'm hoping she's behaving herself for her new owner ;)

Now this photo is of Illia (lady of the mist).  She was a gift to myself from the hugely talented Nicole at Mahlimae on Facebook.  I love Nicole's work and had to get my hands on one of her creations !!

Isn't she lovely? 

Some lovely little Russian doll measuring cups given to me by a family member at Christmas which look lovely on the shelf in my kitchen.....

My tin collection ......

 A couple of purchases including some more buttons ............

The buttons where from Alexsis at Seeded-Vintage Buttons Haberdashery (can't seem to stay away from her page).  I am a button addict !!

The keyring (Stan) I won from Susan at Fat Hen and Flo ! I love her page and I love Stan too ! 

The fabric and pattern were from Jacqui at Fabric HQ.  I am, however not going to make the apron myself !  I have kindly asked my mum if she would mind making it for me (terrible I know but I cannot sew in straight lines) ;)

Finally...I have been after an old case for what seems like ever !!  Last  week my other half came home from his mum's with a little brown case ! This belonged to his late granddad Fred and held his bus conductor machine.  I have lined it and it has made a perfect little sewing case which now goes with me everywhere.  I am tooo lucky I know !! 

I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and bye for now !
