Nappy Bag

Proof of productivity.

It's been a long time coming, and I've been pretty slack in the blogging department. The good news is that I haven't been slack in the productivity department.

This is the quilt I made my Milly Moo





Here is the first of my labels that I designed and my DH printed them up.



Here is a patchworked fabric basket


A close up with the label in it. :)


Next time I'll take photos of the handbags and what not I've been making.
For the next few days I need to focus on a big project for my bestie. :)

Oh and this week I find out the sex of the baby my SIL is pregnant with, so I can order some gorgeous fabric from the US along with some for my bestie's baby and start working on that. I have about 20 weeks to make two of them. Something tells me I will be machine quilting those!!

What am I up to?

I've been flat out this week, cutting up fabric and starting to sew things together to sell on a trade table. I plan to work on that quite steadily, and I'll take pics and blog the lot when I'm done.

The new semester starts for me next week, so won't have as much time to devote to creative stuff once I get into my course. I have a few largish assignments that will need to be worked on steadily over the semester, but I hope I still get time to plug away at my sewing and quilting.

By September I want to start preparing things for the Christmas table. More on that later on.

.. our wedding album we are about to get printed up.

Awwww look how young we are!! My poor DH looks like he's fresh out of kindergarten!!

The pic and the week ahead

This is the bag that I whipped up for my Mum. It's a shopping bag. she loved it! :)



This week I will be having my own little one-man factory in my craft room. I have two weeks to get a load of stuff made up to sell on a trade table. I think I mentioned before that I have an opportunity to see a few of the things I make. So I am going to do that this week. I've cut up about a gazillion shopping bags so far. Once I have the lining prepared, I'll be ready.

Get all Milly's fabric and wadding sewn together, ready for assembly

CHECK!

No photos though, so you will just have to trust me. I plan to assemble it on the weekend so you will see photos soon enough.

I've also been working on Milly's album today and I'm almost done with that as well!

What a productive week I've had!

3 projects finished!

I've just chopped up Milly's raggy quilt wadding.

I'm not going to take a photo, because who wants to see a pile of batting squares?? You will just have to trust me!
