Hi folks. Here we are again meeting up with all our wonderful creative friends all round the world by linking up with Julia over and the Stamping Ground.....please pop over there to find out more and to join in the fun.
It's been another week of twiddling my thumbs waiting for news with the house move [and still none as yet!] so I have been using my time well by using some of the gifted fabric to make more items to sell for charity. On my desk today is what I've been creating....
I loved making the last set of Japanese folded squares so much that I dipped in the bag, found two more fabrics I liked and made another set.
Next six mug rugs I made using crazy patchwork and embellished each one with machine embroidery....lovely sunny colours eh?
I loved the bright sunny colours of the fabric I used for the last set of mug rugs so I searched Pinterest for some pocket tissue holders to use with a little of it. I loved this design but alas the pattern to make them was no longer available so I set to with a piece of paper and worked out how it went together.....It's a very simple design and makes up quickly if anyone is interested.
So of course I........
.....chose some more fabrics and made 6 more, became hooked on making them and......
....I chose yet more fabric and made 9 more. :-)
I've run out of tissue packets now so I'm looking to make other items to put together in my charity box....any good ideas are always welcome. I have lots of fabric to play with.
So there you go. That's what I've been making this week. Thanks for popping by. Please leave me a little hello in the comments and I will do my best to return the visit.
I just might get a little busy this week though as my son gets married on Monday....wahooo it's getting close now.
Hugs,
Annie x

Well done you for working out the origami! They'll go so well for charity and I know the original stash owner would have been delighted with what you're achieving.
Have a wonderful day on Monday!!
Hugs, LLJ 2 xx

Oh, liking the tissue holders a lot - DD always needs tissues and the little plastic pouches always split and she ends up with shreds in the bottom of her bag. Might have to pop on over to Pinterest myself. Cute mug rugs too - my desk is all too often damp from my glass of ice water so one of them would be helpful too! You've totally inspired me this week :)
Happy WOYWW!

wow lvoe your work there Annie fab little tissue cases.. great ideas!! mm my suggestion would be pincushions or needle holders... Robyn pf Waterlily cards had great one on her desk today from Judy of Judy fabrications .. check it out.. thanks for popping over, Shaz in Oz.x #27
PS pinterest is fab isn't it???
Oh, Annie. They are just lovely. Gorgeous fabric, great colours, and the end results are so very cheery. Well done you.
Thanks for visiting already, and for your comments. And I thought I was busy!!! I do trust the wedding goes well on Monday - and dare I hold my breath for Wednesday as a date??? It's just so very frustrating, isn't it? They manage much better in Scotland than in England or Wales... maybe we should learn...
Take care my friend. God bless you.

Well Annie, they are just delightful tissue holders - you're so clever, more rug mats..fabulous. Good luck with the house and enjoy the wedding. Cheers RobynO#29
Ooh it is getting close - how exciting! Aren't you clever with the old fabric origami - that sort of thing drives me nuts! As the others have said, I'm sure the chap who passed the fabric on to you would be chuffed to see you making such great and pretty use.
Ohh my have you been a busy bee! Look at all those lovely makes! Those pocket tissue holders are amazing! I would definitely want one of those! It will be a big seller at any charity!
Lots of hugs,
Cardarian
Such lovely makes Annie. How excited you must be - the wedding is so close now! I am hoping my nephew will marry next year. Haven't had a family wedding for a while. Have a wonderful time. Anne x #25
gosh annie haven't you been busy, those tissue holders are fantastic and you have made so many!
Lots of lovely money for charity coming your way I think.
Hope you have a moving date soon, it is so frustrating having to wait without knowing what is happening down the line.
Bless you

Loads of lovely sewing, x
Oh my Annie you're a doll! The mug rugs are fab but those multiplying tissue covers are so cool!! Fingers crossed you have 'a date' soon. Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #61
I'm amazed at the number of tissue holders you made, you really are just waiting for a date aren't you.... lucky you haven't packed your fabric...
hope its settled soon

These are great ideas for little gifts, love them all.
Hope you have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x #38
Hi Annie, my, but you have been busy this week. You're not so much twiddling your thumbs as giving them something useful to do :) Love all your origami work and those mug rugs are super. I do hope you hear some good news soon, this week in fact! Elizabeth x #53
Beautiful projects! Love the mug rugs and the tissue holders. Pinterest is the bomb for ideas in my book (I think I've pinned over 30,000 lol). I hope you get the news you want about the house move. #37
What great little tissue cases sucha neat idea. I love the colours of the fabric in your last colection especially( my fav) .. thanks for visiting me earlier in the week. crafty hugs and belated woyww wishes Andrea#21
Imagine it is all chaos at yours today as tomorrow is THE DAY... My sincerest wishes to the lovely couple for a healthy, happy life together and to you two for a speedy end result with the new home. Can't wait to see the photos - be sure to include one of you please.
Lovely crafty makes, and my how busy you always seem to be. Those tissue holders are super and I was just thinking about those tissues that are like money - they could be fun to put inside but I think they are longer and thinner than most.
Thanks for trying to link me up when I was away. Much appreciated.
Loads of Love and best wishes for tomorrow
Hugs, Neet xxxxxx
