Good morning blogging friends.
Another busy week has passed and we are back to the best day of the week when we all have a good snoop round lots of crafting spaces. If you are here by chance and don't know what I mean then please pop over to Julia's blog and join in the fun.
Last Saturday saw the last of our new carpets going down so we are now able to get a little more straight and furniture and pics can now be put back where they live. I have bought some lovely new Really Useful Boxes for my sewing room to organise our shop craft items in when we get what doesn't get sold this Saturday at the Montgomery Craft Fair....of course we are really hoping it all gets sold and we can then restock my lovely new boxes with fresh items :-)
Today I have put my card toppers out and have made a start at making them into cards but alas I have to clear my rail before I do any more and I'm afraid to say my 'to do' rail is heaving today. I have everything from jackets to shorten the sleeves on and a curtain to shorten to trousers and skirts all needing altering so it may be a while before I get back to my card making.
I have already had to shorten a huge pair of patio door curtains this week and make a huge pair [280 cm long!] of double width voile curtains so I am on curtain overload!....here's the proof!.....just remind me girls to never offer to make huge voile curtains again cos they were really horrid to make. The voile slips and slides and is impossible to measure accurately.
So now girls when you're having fun visiting all the other blogs just think of me clearing the sewing mountain before I can have my fun :-)
Thanks for dropping in and for leaving your lovely comments. I will do my best to get round as many of you as I can over the next few days.

Love your Really Useful Boxes but judging by what you have been making they will be needed for new stash as I think you will have a really good day. Good Luck with the stall. Oh - and thanks for the look around (don't envy you all those alterations).

ReplyDeleteLove the Pudseys on the previous post, well done to the children! The Advent Father Christmas is gorgeous.

Oh what lovely toppers you have. Hope you do well at the Craft fayre. Glad your getting on top of your to do rail. Curtains are so tiring and heavy to do I have a lot o sympathy for you as I made my own years ago from Silk and interlined and lined and they were triple pleated and were for a very high bay window took me about 6 months ! Have a lovely day, big Hugs JO.xx *24*
ReplyDeleteThat's two RUB fans so far on todays WOYWW hop! Not planes on my desk, BTW, but clothes pegs with the names of my menu items clipped to the bag toppers :) Today I am working on recipe cards. Wasn't it just a week or two ago when your rail was completely clear? Funny how that happens. Have fun with your toppers.

Hi there, love your busy space, always such a lot going on but tidy! Your Christmas cards look stunning:) As for tackling curtains you are reading this from the lady who still has pins tacking up the hem of hers and that's been so for months. I'm impressed you actually make yours and they're Voile. OOh brownie points LOL :0) xx #63
ReplyDeleteOoohh...love new containers! I hope you get to fill them up with new stuff too!
ReplyDeleteGreat containers! I hope you get to fill them with all new stash! Good luck at the Craft Fair!
ReplyDeleteYour card toppers are to die for! I really want to be on your xmas card list :)

Oh Wow Annie, your cards look super, each one that little bit different to the next, just how I like it!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a FAB day on Saturday, very best of luck for it!

Great advice from Doone there; she's a smart cookie! I have visions of you sewing away in an ever less controllable cloud of voile.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the fair on Saturday; I think your makes are beautiful and very reasonably priced. Hope you come home with empty boxes!
Bernie #11
To have lots of lovely boxes to fill, sigh now I have empty box envy ;)
ReplyDeleteall those cards look lovely
ReplyDeleteC (74)
Oh dear, voile is just awful to handle, but it looks fab. Once bought a wonderful blue voile for a dress, but it ended as a scarf!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the fair!

ReplyDeleteMarilyn
The card toppers are gorgeous. I've made a grand total of 1 Christmas card so far :P
ReplyDeleteI'm posting your book tomorrow Annie, I want to get a jiffy for it - didn't think my usual bubble wrap and bin bag job was really befitting a giveaway and you would have to slice it open ;)
Carmen xx #101
Can you tell me please where you purchased your really useful boxes from. I saw one of these on Chrissie's blog and she thought it might have come from Staples?
ReplyDelete#122
Those little boxes are so aptly named aren't they! They look good too. Hope you have an amazing day at the craft fair and sell lots!
ReplyDeleteKnow exactly what you mean about voile - not that I've ever stitched it, but folding up curtains made from it is bad enough!
Thanks for the lovely snoop around x
