I have been busy....

This is the bag I made for our granddaughter... she was 20 on Feb 14th......



I have carded the flowers I made over the past few weeks... I love making these.....

And I have been playing around with some digital scrapping and made a couple of new siggy tags... what do you think.......

I have been busy....

Once again I have been stitching up a storm. I have to now do some serious patchwork and get all of the stitcheries made into something.....

This one will be called Apple Harvest for obvious reasons...LOL



This next one I am calling I Love You This Much........ 


This one is called Playmates.....


This one will adorn the top of an apron......


And I also made these flowers...... 
Boy are they fun to make... I will certainly be making many more of these.


There are more stitcheries... but as they are being offered to the magazines I cannot show them to you.
Plus I made a gorgeous doll and once again she is destined to be in a magazine... so alas no look at her either.

Today I plan on spending the day sewing and I am sure to get a few things finished so pop back soon to see what I have done.....

I was commissioned to make a couple of library bags for twins starting school... About 4 years ago I painted a plaque for them with their names on it... and Mum asked if I could applique the Raggedies onto their library bags.


 These were a lot of fun to make and I think I might make some more....


Now if I am to get stuck into the patchwork today I had better get off here and have some brekky.....

Happy Crafting everyone.

Some new finishes and almost finished...

I have just finished these two mug rugs. I am very happy with the way they have turned out.


This one will go on the front of a plastic bag holder that I will make from a T Towel.....


This is a sneak peek at the second last block in my Teddy Swag BOM that I am running on my blog with Jan Knight.... It will be posted later this week.


I am working on more stitcheries and will be back soon with more finishes...

Have Fun.....

Another new pattern.

So far I am still on track with my new year's resolutions. I am updating more often and writing patterns. I do not care that it is only day 4... it still counts...LOL

Later this morning I will draw new stitcheries to fabric and then this afternoon I will start stitching.

This is my latest pattern. It is called I love Raggedies.


E pattern is $7
Hard copy is $12    free postage.

Just e mail me if you would like to purchase either of the new patterns. My other new pattern is in the previous post.

Everyone loves Santa pics at Chrissy time... I am no exception... but I really do think I had the most gorgeous santa ever.......


Our Little Santa cut his first tooth on Christmas day and has since bitten both Mum and Dad.


This is how Poppy was woken up on Christmas morning. You can just see our little Santa's mind thinking where in hell is my one of these..???????


I love this pic of Xavier taken while we were at our daughter's for Christmas....


Well I am off to start to get the stitcheries onto fabric....
Have fun everyone........
