 Good morning all!
After four days with a foul head cold I can at last say my fuzzy head is better and I am no longer sneezing and snuffling constantly. Colds don't usually bother me much but this one was nasty! But then - as my much younger sister reminded me - I am not getting any younger and therefore don't get over things as quickly!! Thanks nurse Annie. lol

So not much to show and tell.
I have a nice new magazine to enjoy - seems to be lots of little sewing projects and a free crafty mag attached too.

The little patches are for my next little quilt but I need some more fabric to mix and match with it.

Below is the second little cardi knitted with Crofter chunky. This time a tad bigger for Phoebe.
She will love it as it has pink buttons!!

That's it folks.

AND the little tote bag to carry the quilt in - plus a white elephant toy to pop inside

 

Now my smiley sock cat to pop in with my cat quilt....

If he doesn't make you smile nothing will!!!

Last week was a busy one.
We had fun at a stitchy workshop on Wednesday. I crafted with Max on Thursday and helped look after the delightful little twins on Friday. So, I was a bit slow and checking out the WOYWW desks that the lovely Julia linked us up to last week.
Hopefully I will do better this week!!

In spare moments I have been finishing my third Lillybo Quilt.
If you like cats, you might like this one. It has a little bag to carry it in and by the end of the week I hope to have made a little sockdoll cat to pop in the pocket.

My evenings have been spent knitting a chunky cardi for one of my great nieces.

It is in Sirday Chunky Crofter which has knitted up nicely and looks quite funky I think.

Now I need her to try it on and make sure its fits before I knit one for her younger sister.

SEWING MACHINE FOR SALE

Maxine brought this little Toyota 5000 sewing machine over for me to check out at the weekend.
It seemed in good condition and I suggested putting it on ebay for collection only. - maybe £35. If anyone is interested email me. It would probably make quite a good first machine - it's sturdy and has it's original handbook and toolbox with extra feet etc.


OK folks - short and sweet.

Thanks for popping by - have a great week.

Friday Smile

 

Couldn't resist this one, bearing in mind that one or two of my best blogging buddies have recently unearthed wonderful bits and bobs from their fabric stashes that they had forgotten they had!!!!

Just a quick snap of my table before I start making my next LillyBo quilt.

Top left hand corner - my free machined label made to attach to my quilt.

Top centre - my jar of pearly buttons.

And then a pile of cards that I have finished.

I used lots of little snippets of lace/fabric/vintage embroidery and linen to create tiny collages for these sets of cards.

One set went off to my good friend in Yorkshire as a little birthday gift.

The rest are waiting in my sewing room to show Maxine and then maybe I will pop them in our Sisters Crafty Creations blog shop.

 Here are just a few of them!!.........

Today I have a very busy day planned so may not get round to checking out your desks till later in the week. Join Julia and her gang over at The Stamping Ground.
Hope you are all well and keeping cosy in this chilly weather.
Thanks for calling in - scroll down to my last post if you want more pretty stuff!!
