I’m off work today but after having fallen asleep whilst watching Craftsy class videos yesterday (not for the first time, I am like an old lady) I was up bright and early as usual for a weekday. By 8am I have spent over an hour sorting out my fabric scraps into colour. It’s been long [...]
Welcome new people (and regulars too), thanks for hopping over for my fabric giveaway. It’s a great day for it as here in the UK it’s May Day Bank Holiday and I’m off work! Woo hoo! A little bit about me… well I’m teaching myself Illustrator and fabric design which is my current “thing” and [...]

I’ve been listing fabrics over on Crafteroo that I’m destashing- I have about 50 different bits from just short of a FQ to over a yard that must go, it’s taking up valuable shelf space. There’s some proper fuglies in there as well as some stuff I bought that was good for my resin jewellery [...]
I love Eleanor Grosch’s Mixteca line. These came for me yesterday (I know I’m not spending but I had a 20% off voucher for Pink Castle Fabrics…) and they will be used for something for ME too as I think these are my favourite fabrics ever, ever. I’m thinking of making a skirt from the [...]

When I went away I thought I’d get loads of hand sewing done. Erm, no. And my iron is on the blink getting ridiculously hot and burning everything so I won’t photograph my progress until it is done and pressed nicely. This weekend I am back in action getting some bee blocks and stuff sewn, [...]

A couple of nice bits of post that have kept me upbeat this week when a throat infection has been threatening my state of mind… I did a private fabric scrap swap with Teje and my fabrics have arrived. I have already started using them! Can you believe that she has never done a fabric swap before? [...]

Yey lots of pretty pictures of pretty things for legitimate reasons! So I got home from work to find TWO squishy parcels dating back from the end of the year when I decided I needed birthday gifts and also to order fabric to make up some of my quilt patterns and make them more saleable. [...]

I’ve technically already “done” Christmas because OH is working, plus as it was my birthday a couple of days ago, I can neither confirm nor deny that I have used some gift money on brand new fabric ranges… These particular ranges from Sew Me a Song. Fat Quarter Bundles hurray! Type by Julia Rothman for [...]

I’d had some lovely fabric post these last few days. Firstly I got a few fat quarters plus some Swatch Buddies from Rhonda at Quilter in the Gap after I won an inpromptu giveaway last month which was nice! I had no idea what I was going to receive until I opened the package! Sorry [...]
