Week of Aloofness

Not much of anything been done in my room this past week.

Sewing machine has not had it’s new cover taken off since I finished it and put it on..

The weather has cooled down just a tad in the evenings so I have got my knitting out again.

My umm I think it’s called Holden Shawlette, I am now up to the fancy smancy stitching..it’s going to take alooong time..

I also have been fondling some lovely fabric..

Bought these lovelies from TOMG’s (The Oz Material Girls)FB Auctions, have  a few things in mind but nothing concrete yet..love the vintage girls print..

Hope your all having a lovely weekend,

Cheers Vickie

Productive weekend

My plan was to get heaps of interior painting done this long weekend end but alas I was unable too..

However on the other hand,I have had managed to have such a productive weekend,  I can’t show you many pictures-because they are gifties…but hang on I can show you this one,

Cute pillow slip made for a wee girl who loves Dora..

And I can show you this one too…

Leave (lee for short) in her attacking position for when I enter or leave my room, she swipes me.

And due to today being a public holiday I decided I might sew something for me. I purchase some of  ok-  heaps of my fabric from TOMG on FB, great prices excellent service.

I got this cute little stash pack back in April.

And today a pulled some extra fabrics to make it go just the weeeeeee bit further and made …

Taadaaaaaaaaaa a new dress for sewing machine.

And the rear side..oops I should remember to iron things before I take photos.

I am here

ok Miss Slack blogger here, and thank you to those that have emailed me “are you Ok”..much appreciated. 

Life just gets in the way sometimes and a quick zip around some blogs and commenting were I can (seriously that blasted please confirm you’re not a robot verification drives me batty at times).

Adding a line here or there on Facebook seems easier than than actually doing a blog post..yes bad girl is me…

I have been struggling with m y needle turn applique –my silly arm keeps cramping up-so that project is becoming a very slow one.

Seems like it has taken me forever to finish these 2.

I purchased a Babushka stitched cushion kit  to make for my Sister in law to give to 1 of her granddaughters for her birthday in August.

 

It is quite a good size..oh yeah and I kinda  got some more red/black & white fabric too…hehehe

Stitching progress so far.

Have my thinking cap on for gifts for my partner in the COLOUR swap I joined- I am still shocked that this is the first swap  I have joined this year.

Cheers for now
