Freebie :-)

I love a freebie :-) This weekend on Saturday 22 March & Sunday 23 March the Daily Telegraph are including a free Make Stitch and Sew supplement with the paper. The Great British Sewing Bee has certainly inspired me to make some summer outfits, so I'll be very keen to see the projects in these. 

Don't miss Make, Stitch & Sew - inside The Telegraph on Saturday, March 22 and Sunday, March 23, 2014.

Auctions...Going Going Gone!

I am having a big auction day on EBay this Friday 19th March. There are lots of auctions starting at just 99p. Why not head over to my EBay shop and see if you can pick up a bargain.

Happy Bidding! ;-)

Handmade Cards

I thought I would update you on my New Years Resolution, now we are almost a 5th way through the year already! So although I have not brought a shop brought card as such, I do have to confess to purchasing these postcards on a recent trip to IKEA.

In my defence they were only 5p for a pack of 5...Yes, just 1p per postcard...how could I resist! I love the ice-cream van on top of the stack up cars! No use for them yet - but I'm sure I will find one!

Though fear not, the handmade cards are still continuing with conviction! My Mum has even got on the band-wagon now and asked me to make a card for an elderly friends 90th birthday party that she went to the other day. 

Just simply made by cutting 90 and a few flowers out of a scrap of fabric...and of course adding 'years young'! Happy birthday Muriel :-) 

Inspiration

I always wonder where designers get their inspirations for the thousands and thousands of fabric designs there are out there. I have to say I am in awe of someone who has the creative flare to continue to come up with new and interesting designs each season. 

The other day (one of those glorious days that gives you hope that spring is finally on its way) I snapped some shots that, when put together, reminded me of one of my recently ordered fabrics.

What do you think? Blue sky...Seed heads.....Primrose Flowers. I'm not for one minute saying I could ever become a designer.....but I can dream I guess!

I can almost smell summer round the corner :-) Happy Days.
