Blogtoberfest Day 18?

Oops, losing track of the days here, I think this is right!

A quick My Creative Space tonight.

I love it when you make something for someone, and they like them so much they want more! These, and few more, are on their way to The Retreat, to keep the furniture looking it's best as long as possible haha. Oh, and to give me a good way to use up all the good scraps I collect!

Heaps more spaces over here....

My Creative Space



I haven't played along for ages. Keep forgetting. But am in the middle of something, that won't drag on for weeks (I hope).

And I'll reveal the pattern when I'm done!

My Creative Space

I haven't joined in for a while, never seem to be organised on a Thursday! And the laptop has been playing up- Google anything not working well, an Outlook fail, and it's off to get serviced soon. 
Today it's allowing me to blog (so far so good)

So I'm finally getting around to basting this big one together. I think I started it about a year ago? I made the king size (in for a penny, in for a pound) and plan to hand quilt it similar to the pattern instructions. There is a flickr group I'll try and add pics to as well.

The hand basting has nearly done my back in though- it's sticky taped to the floor of the lounge room (couches all moved out) and I've been working on it each night. (quilt is too big for table tennis table, and it's too cold out in the garage anyway!) 4 nights so far. Nearly done.


I plan many nights on the couch hand quilting this winter!

a big thanks to Sarah for answering questions and encouraging the hand quilting experience!

Sneaking one in for the last of the year! I haven't missed too many I hope, I like that you
 can drop in anytime for a play!

So the last few nights have been cutting and fusing....








Ta Da! They managed to be finished by tonight. I love my Echino one, perfect for our summer holiday by the beach! And I love that my girl has the spunkiest hat in school (lets hope it doesn't go 'missing' for 3mths this time)

Well, I didn't mean to just....end Blogtoberfest, I didn't realised I'd missed the last day till now! Oh, well, I'm happy with my effort, had a great time, and have Tinniegirl to thank for it! Cheers, matey! I also won a little giveaway which was lovely.

This Creative Space has me opening the Nikki book, and cracking on with some hats....

A follow up tonight.....of this post.
 She agreed to pose in it- but that's it! (Doesn't she look impressed?)


 It's View B of this pattern, which I found in Daylesford, of all places, after searching forever online!


She said she'd 'out' me on my own blog, but I told her I told her I was proud to show off my
buttons...er, snaps and buttons sewn on top. Shh!


 So this may be up for sale if you're interested....Size 8. Send me an email!

My Creative Space

I've been productive this week, but thought I'd show my next projects:
 the top right pattern is for a fellow blogger, can't wait to get stuck into that!
The rest are for moi- at $5 a pattern, couldn't say no!


Little Miss also scored- this pattern was $14.95, kid's size 4-12. The corduroy she picked was reduced to $5 and $1 a metre, and there's some fur here in the stash she wants in the hood. That scares me a little (sewing the fur, I mean).


Cam got her into the fabric markers at her place on Saturday, they are a great idea,
 I want her to embellish some tees this winter!

I think this is my first one for 2011, so hello again!
I always try and play along, but sometimes....forget!

Yesterday I got stuck into a new bag (for moi) that I've had cut out for ages.



The fabric was on the $8 a metre table at GJ's, not sure what it's called; pattern by Nikki.

My Creative Space

Oh, yay, I remembered to photograph AND post on a Thursday for a change, so am playing along again this week.

It's a busy one, creativity wise- a 7 yr b'day party on not much money, plus trying to make something different than an outfit etc.

I saw an idea over here that I refashioned in my brain, and this is how it's looking so far....



I hope it carries over to tomorrow (my creativity, that is, NOT the project) and I make a masterpiece using this mould.


The child asked if they would use this on Masterchef, I said of course!

The end results will be after the weekend!

I'm playing along again this week, as I have some new projects to show off.
I have a bag to repair for a friend, and am making myself a new frock/ Liverpool tunic
for the market next week!


And I forgot to add the extra pic to my last post- the finished mermaid Ice Cream top- yep, upside down, as per bloody usual! That'll be a freebie for sure!

My Creative Space Blogtoberfest '10 Day 21

Well, I decided what to do with my half square triangles-  I can't remember how I found this, but I liked it!

My version has a bit missing- luckily I ordered some more of Etsy last week to do a pieced backing,. this I'll squeeze out a few more triangles!


 And the biggest thrill of the...err, day? 1st mango of the season! She always leaves me the seeds!


 Thinking I'll buy a box this year!

My Creative Space Blogtoberfest '10 Day 7

So I missed a day yesterday, which means there may be another post later...I have something to show off. But today I'm playing along here, with a shot of my upcoming projects.

I have market sewing up to scratch, so a few things for me and the Miss, and the house.
