Some gifts...

Hello everyone! 

I've been working and crafting so much lately, I can't wait for Christmas! 

So, here's something I made for my little brother and sister in law. 

They always struggle to find things with their names on, so I made some sweetie jars that they can re use for whatever they want! 

Hope you are all enjoying the festive season, merry Christmas!! 

Christmas makes...

Hello everyone! 

I promise you, I have been crafting! But it's all Christmas presents, so I can't show you any of it :P

Are we all feeling thoroughly festive? Or more Bah Humbug? I'd love to hear what you are all making for Christmas :) 

Newy newness...

Got lots to show you today!

I made a lovely shabby chic pillowcase, I even experimented with 

decorative zig-zagging to applique the letters onto the case.

And I made a few of these knitted phone cases :)

I came up with the pattern myself, I love how it looks woven.

Ooh, and I made a Facebook page in addition to this blog and my Etsy shop. I won't be abandoning you though!

Is anyone else feeling Christmassy all of a sudden? I think now that it's gotten colder, I feel waaay more festive. Any Christmas makes on the go?

Charity shop find...

Just a quick post today about a strange yet fascinating little object I found in a charity shop. 

It's a little cat working at a sewing machine! 

Look at her cute little face :) 

What intriguing finds have you found  at a charity shop?

Isn't he adorable? He goes quite nicely with the matching phone case :) I love being able to sew all day! Don't you?

Nice new fabric...

Hello guys,

I've treated myself this week and bought some fabric.

Ok, I say fabric... I mean I bought two duvets at my favourite everything's £1 charity shop :)

The first is a simple brown and cream block reversible duvet.

I've been looking for a decent cream fabric for ages to use as a backing

for my quilt that I started forever and a day ago :)

The second is an adorable pink single quilt with 2 stripes of

a different pattern at the bottom.

You can see the stripe pattern here. Isn't it lovely?

Here is a close up. I have ideas for this fabric already.

A lovely surprise when I got home and opened it out, is that the front 

and back are different! So I could make two of whatever it is I make :)

A strange thing about this duvet cover is what had been hand stitched at the bottom. It's just a little rectangle of white cotton. I think it might have been like a bed pelmet/bed skirt?

Any ideas?
