WOYWW....

Hello all.  Happy Wednesday.  I've got a manic week this week with lots of sewing so thought you'd like to see a few things I've been making and can now share with you as they have been seen by my son and daughter-in-law.

A few weeks back I showed you a moses basket that I had lined for the next little family member due soon.....well, here is the little quilt I made for it.

Under the hood were three fabric loops just crying out for three little matching elephants to hang.

I found enough fabric to make a matching snugglefant [to my own design] and cos I had just enough fabric and, in case he looses the one of course, I had to make two the same....it's what I do :-)

Here it is all ready to snuggle little 'Bert' in it and now it's been handed over at the baby shower last Saturday I can say his mummy and daddy were thrilled to bits with it.

They have also seen the Advent calendar I've made for him so I can share that with you too.

Forgive me for all the Christmas makes but I am now working on my first batch of Christmas cards too... a bit of applique and machine embroidery so far....more details to be put on before finished.

Sorry if it's all a bit picture heavy today but I knew some of you have been patiently waiting for the show and tells.  I have moved my normal sewing workshop from Thursday to Wednesday this week so will be busy all day today and have a very special visitor coming to see me tomorrow with rather a lot of sewing jobs for me......our very own Neet has been saving all her sewing jobs up and is driving all the way from Bolton to bring them to me.....I can't wait.

I will do my best to pop over to yours when I get the chance but please be patient with me this week as I may be a little late.

Hugs,

WOYWW....

Wahoooo. Another week has passed and here we are at another 'best day of the week' when we all link up with our creative friends and share our work desks. I did rather better last week and managed to visit many more of my blogging friends. Little Milly is settling in well and is allowing me an odd five mins here and there now to get on the computer even if she rather likes to sit on me at the time.....one day she will realise she's too big to do this but until them I will be wallowing in my cuddles.

So.....what's on my desk today?

This is all that's left of the material I showed you last week because I've now finished covering the Moses basket and hood.  I have a little project in mind for these....but you will have to wait to see what it is  :-)

Here it is. It took quite a while cos the original cover was made in stretch fabric but they wanted it covering in ivory poly cotton and wanted it wadded so I had to make allowances for the lack of stretch with the pattern pieces.

I have also made the quilt in the fabric I showed you last week....it's random patchwork and has appliqué on it and I've snapped a pic but am keeping it secret until they have seen it so will have to keep you waiting for that...... I'm a tease aren't I? :-)

That's all I'm sharing for today apart from this pic of little Milly for those that like to watch her grow :-)  She is in her fav place while I'm using the computer hehehe

Thanks for dropping by. If you leave me a little hello message I will do my best to pay you a return visit ASAP. Here's hoping Julia is continuing to make a good steady recovery and thanks to Jan for keeping us linked up til Julia can return to the helm.

Hugs,

WOYWW.....

Here we are at another Wednesday....the last week has simply flown for me.  The first thing I have to say is sorry for the lack of visits I made last week. What with twinnie school runs, sewing in between plus all the puppy duties my blogging time just disappeared....please believe me when I say my intensions were good and I will do my best to do better this week.

So what is on my desk today?

Yes....what else did you expect?  It's yet more gorgeous fabric.....and yes it is more new fabric but I'm allowed to buy this because it's for a very special project.  These are the fabrics I've bought to make a little quilt for the moses basket I am setting up ready for the next little family member due in September.  I love the colours...what do you think?

I'm wadding the lining for the moses basket but keeping the lining neutral in colour so it can be used for any future babies.

These are the latest swapped ATCs I have received....aren't they simply gorgeous?  I have had so many, each one different and each one made with love.  Thank you to each and every one of you....I really feel blessed to have so many blogging friends all around the world.

Of course I know you will all want to see how little Milly is settling in....here she is after a hard days sewing stretched out in her fav place....on the leather settee in the living room!!  She gets away with murder as you can see and is totally spoiled. :-)

That's all from me for today....I will do my best to call over to see what you've been up to as soon as I'm able.

Hugs,
