It's time....

I have set up a new blog for my photography. I want to get involved in more challenges and learn how to use my camera more - and I don't want to overshadow the other work I do. So all photography from now on will be HERE

If you want to watch me develop (hopefully) and are interested in photography - please feel free to follow it.

Harrison's Raggy Quilt

 

I whipped this quilt up in no time for a special little man. He loves it! I'm sure he will love snuggling down with it over the winter months, when watching movies.

I'll be making my boy one as well with the same fabric. One day soon.

Elisha's Bag

 

I made this for a dear little man's birthday. I saw the fabric in the remnant bin at spotlight and grabbed it!

I am LOVING school holidays!

I have nothing to show you yet, but am making good progress on a few projects and I'm pleased that I have hours a day to work on things.

I have also been doing craft with the kids as well everyday so far of the school holidays. It's been really fun and they have loved it.... and we are slowly but surely plowing our way through the craft box, using up bits and pieces.

So what have I been doing?
I was asked by a friend to make a few of the characters from the book "How to train a dragon" - I must admit I'm really stoked with how they are turning out. They should be finished fairly soon.

I was given some pre-cut squares by Kayscha when she did a big clear out in preparations for her renovations (which are well under way I might add!) - so I today have just finished piecing the squares together to make a 9-patch square. I will be adding white sashing to them and then hopefully have it basted and ready to hand quilt this winter. :) Happy days!!

I just whipped up a cute little tote bag for a little boy's birthday present. That's finished, and just needing some natural light for a photo to show off. :)

My next task is to start cutting up the flannelette for more raggy quilts. One for my boy and one for another little boy who I thinks needs a bit of spoiling for his birthday.

I'm loving these school holidays. And in six weeks I'll be partying because uni will be over for a while (apart from doing the final exam) and I am going to kick back, drop a subject and craft more for the rest of the year! HAPPY DAYS!

Molly's Cushion

 

I made this cushion based on the tutorial from Don't Look Now. My Sister-in-law saw the one I had made for my niece, and she hinted very strongly that she would like one made for each of her daughters. So I obliged.

I am also on uni holidays and I have great plans to get a few projects started and finished over the next 2 weeks. Wish me luck!! :)

Happy belated birthday old bag!

It was Mum's birthday in February, and I tell you, I've been that flat out with uni stuff that I only JUST got her present finished yesterday. I feel awful, but she's been very sweet about it. Not to mention she absolutely LOVED what I gave her.

Here they are:
Mug mat #1


Mug Mat #2



Knitting basket





PS: Part of the gift was a table runner, which I messed up - and I shoved it in a box to deal with later. I showed it to her afterwards, and she LOVED it and took it anyway. There is no photo of it, because it was pretty dodge!!
