Look What Arrived Today

Firstly I have finished my first Stitchers Angel Project. It is the little tote bag called "Blue Wrens Nest" by Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches.

I hope my Angel friend likes it. The colours actually look a bit washed out in the photo as it is a bit more vibrant in colour than this. I think it is pretty cute though and would be happy if my Stitching Angel has made one of these for me.

This also arrived from the postman today. My first installment of Pincushion of the Month from QFD. I can't wait to get started on these.

And these gorgeous fabrics also from QFD. I haven't actually bought any new fabrics for ages so thought I would treat myself. I'm not sure yet what I will make with them but I will know the right project when it comes along.

Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with Treasure Tuesday. See you then.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy fathers day. I am posting the cards that were made in my house this fathers day.

This is the card that my 11yo son made for his dad. He also made a special fragrance sachet for the car which he had stitched himself and also a CD with a movie file that he also did at school. My husband really loves getting handmade gifts from his boys as it makes it extra special knowing that they took time and were thinking of him when they made it.

This  is the card that I made for my sweetheart telling him that he is a really great dad. I bought him a Precision Screwdriver set, a Gas bottle fuse (safety thingy), Itunes cards, and the good old favourite socks & jocks.

This card I made for my father in law. He got some socks and a polo shirt.

It was also my brother in laws birthday so we celebrated that today as well. 

This is the card that I made for him.

I hope that you all spoilt the fathers in your lives and that you had a very special day.

Spring has Sprung

Sorry I didn't post a Treasure Tuesday this week, but it kind of got away from me. I have had my 11yo son home sick and have taken advantage of the time at home by being creative. I decided to make some baby gifts for my cousins who have just had babies in the last couple of weeks. One had her second child which was another little girl and the other had her very first baby and had a little boy, they were born only 4 days apart. I made them a bib which is fully reversible and then used the same applique design on a white short sleeve bodysuit (I got the idea from Miss Marzie)

Now I just need to make a couple of baby cards and I can send them off.

These are the Baby Cards that I ended up making.

I also need to make some fathers day cards and a birthday card so I need to get busy.

Hope you are enjoying the nice spring weather.
