WOYWW

Firstly today, I just want to say....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE!
 
My little sis is 21 - again!!!!
Have a fab day and a lovely weekend of fun and laughter.
 
 
 My table is  just a complete mess - covered with fabric left over from this week's projects......

Here are just a few of them
 
I made these little lavender hearts with some of my fabric bargains - I love this soft grey wool check and just added a few bits and bobs of vintage lace and buttons from my button box. They are filled with Shropshire Lavender - just follow the link if you are interested. Joanna has a brilliant service from her farm in North Shropshire.
 
These are the lavender bags that I made using my vintage embroidered cloth.
 AND believe it or not...
these little bags are made from fabric left over from my 70's wedding dress!!
Well that is all blogger will allow me to show you today.
I have had a busy week so far with lots of sewing jobs finished, including more draught excluders, a little skirt for Lexi and some patchwork squares for the Children in Need Quilts - see here if you want to know more.
Never a dull moment here and no time to get bored!!!
Have a good week and thanks for popping by.
I will be checking out all your crafty activity later on my WOYWW rounds.
 
x Jo

    I like to see your desk covered in fabrics and machines, it's really interesting to see you immersed!

    What a coincidence! I have an October birthday as well - and I was 21 again too!!!!

    I've already sent birthday wishes to Annie, but remember - it's 22 next year...

    These are so pretty. I wonder whether you blog with Marmalade Rose (see my side bar) - you seem to be on the same wavelength.

    Oh Jo - those lavender bags are gorgeous. First I loved the hearts, then the pretty ones and then - even more pretty ones. All are equally lovely - such talent.
    Have a lovely week

    What beautiful little lavender bags, Jo! I am sure your wedding dress was gorgeous too...I couldn't cut mine up, despite having got divorced years ago, because my late sister made it for me and so it's a lovely reminder.. of sorts!! Have a great week. Helen 20

    Who needs spare time Jo? We all seem to be so busy these days! I love the little lavendar bags, especially the embroidered ones. I have a simple ginham one I bought two Christmases ago, that I keep in the drawer of my craft desk, and it still smells lovely. Kate x #61

    Lovely makes Jo, the little hearts are sweet and it looks like you had a broderie anglaise wedding dress! The purple wool I used is Malabrigo Arroyo in colour Candombe, 100% merino. It's lovely and squishy!
