stripe shirt

I am in the process of cutting out another shirt using NewLook 6407 again. This time I am doing View A which is the main photo on the pattern envelope. Hopefully I will finish it tomorrow but probably more realistically Wednesday… or Thursday even!

Today as well as cutting this out, I took up two pairs of new jeans for my big niece Rachel (19) and also took a large amount off the length of Jack’s new Karate uniform, sleeves and legs. He looks SO cute doing his Karate. He has been going every Monday for around six weeks now and it’s amazing how much he has settled down and improved during class. I love going along to watch him. Emma comes with me and she is so good. She likes to quietly copy their moves (or try to at least!) and can’t wait until she is old enough to join him.

Tomorrow is a big day.  I have my last session at my wonderful Tuesday women’s group (before starting back in the workforce next Monday!) and my sister has a caesarian booked for tomorrow afternoon.  I can’t wait to meet Matilda (Tilly) and I know my sister is well and truly over being pregnant.  I hope it all goes smoothly for her.

embroidery and bags

Yes I’ve been busy. I have a few markets coming up before Christmas so I have to get a bit more stock happening! I have been dabbling in a little embroidery lately and really enjoying it. I bordered a couple with a cute red spot cotton and turned them into cushions!

Both of these are available to buy at my web shop.

I’ve been wanting to make a bunch of new bags for a while now and here are a couple to start with:

The one above is a large shoulder bag and the one below closes with a zip.

Collage Supplies

Lest you think that I have not been using what I have, I have to tell you that I bought these in those feverish last few days of March.  I found a great eBay seller who has lots of collage packs in her store so I bought up a few…  just a few.

There is some great stuff in there and it only cost me $20.00.  Somehow I feel better about cutting up and using someone else’s old papers and bits and pieces than my own. 

Talking of collages, I haven’t done anything more to the one I started a little while ago.

I’m just not sure about it.  I think the main problem is that I just picked things up and stuck them around the place without a lot of thought to the final piece.  This works in Photoshop of course but you can’t really move things around in real life once they are stuck down. 

I’m not sure where to go next with it.  Any ideas?
