It's My Space, Mine I Tell You

Don't think I don't know what's going on around here, cause I do.  

Talk about while the cats away, the mice will play.

That's OK.  I'll be back soon to restore order, including giving that mischievous Tinniegirl a good talking to.

In the meantime, I'll keep stitching, stitching, stitching.

What's everyone else up to?  I'm sure you'll find out if you head over to Kootoyoo for a dose of My Creative Space.

Another day.... another placemat

Yet another placemat re-fashion... I've added some vintage floral for the top section and the strap.

No time today - I'm off to Tinniegirls house for a crafty day out. Must go and pack the car pronto!

Make and repeat

Yet another handbag finished.

This isn't actually part of the Vintage Girly collection - I'm just whipping up lots of different colours and shapes and sizes for the upcoming markets.

I've been drawn to lots of different shades of green lately. I'm finding it quite strange as I've never ever liked green before. Maybe it's the soothing calming nature of green that's drawing me in.... maybe I need some soothing and calming before the craziness of the Christmas market season kicks into full gear!

Brown Owls Badges

Brown Owl emailed me to let me know that I've now earned two badges.

I've earned my stitching badge for stitching my name panel and membership panel.

I've earned my cooking badge for submitting my recipe for the Brown Owls Cookbook.

Yah!

Lovely Mail

I had a lovely unexpected suprise when I checked the mailbox thisafternoon!
A gorgeous quilted potholder from Nicola at Nicola's Daisies all the way from New Zealand...

I'd completely forgotten that she was going to send me a Pay It Forward gift.
Look at that beautiful hand stitched binding......I haven't had the patience to try hand stitching a binding yet but this may just give the inspiration to have a go!


There's also beautiful hand stitching on the applique and also around each of the petals.
Thankyou so much Nicola, I love it!
