Finished by Friday and smile!

Here is my latest finished item.
I have all sorts of little projects on the go but this draught excluder is the only thing completed this week.
It is made with a variety of furnishing fabric and embellished with vintage buttons and hand embroidery.
It is in shades of grey with a plummy pink mix of fabrics. It is filled with polyester filling so that it is light to post but also it squishes nicely into a doorway to keep out the winter draughts!

I will pop it in our Sisters Crafty Creations blog shop later.

Now the weather forecast says more snow followed by heavy rain, snow melt and FLOODS!
So I thought you might like to see how I aim to be prepared for that possibility.....




If you would like similar adaptations let me know - it didn't hurt - honest! lol.
Join in with Annie's Friday Smiles here!
Happy Friday!

    Yes, I did smile at that fantastic mermaid tail. Very good way of getting ready for the floods. Hope you don't need it. xx Maggie

    as we has a south east post-cyclonic low heading down the coast towards us - flooding in NSW from Qld boarder to almost Newcastle it seems - Cyclone Oswald changed into a rain depression, never dull here, love Shaz in Oz.x PS love draught snake as we call them too.

    Brilliant - I more than smiled at that :)) Elizabeth xx

    PS: the advice is to build lots of snowmen to avoid floods. I kid you not!!! Apparently, snowmen will thaw out much more slowly, thereby avoiding torrents of water flowing into the rivers :)

    I love the colours and patterns of your fabrics. I'd love to try quilting some day. Maybe someday soon :)
