Scone Game Fair, I'm Going !!!!

Good morning all. I received confirmation last night that my application for Scone Game fair has been successful. I am delighted, excited and a little nervous to have 2 massive shows back to back. (I am doing the Royal Highland Show the week before) So I am going to get me head down and get some sewing done. I have a few ideas about by stall display I have a very small booth and I want to make a big impression so presentation is really important. I am thinking creative use of every inch and maximum organisation. I am also going to have to be selective in what I take with me. I am looking for your input here please tell me what you think I would love to hear your ideas.

Shorts Please Please Please !!!!

Hello all, how are you? Saturday went well I met lots of interesting people and sold quite a few of my goodies I was happy. I arrived home feeling like an easy night but me wee laddie had other ideas. "Your craft fair over now" he said. Make me shorts now please, please, please. I tried to explain Mummy was feeling tired, but you know how it is. So I had a look in my stash found some denim and added some sock monkey in red and blue for the pockets and waist. I washed and cut out on Sunday morning and started sewing last night. Finished the hems and waist band this morning and what do you know the sun has come out. Perfect. He is pretty please with the result as am I .

Happy Monday

Cat in the Hat All Done !!

I just love love love this quilt. I enjoyed each part, the cutting, piecing, quilting and binding. I will be making more red/white quilts. I am soo pleased I got it finished on time to take with me tomorrow.
Now onto prep for the morning. Another late night I think.
Happy Friday evening.

Nearly There !

Good morning all. Quilting done, I stepped out of my comfort zone on this one and did straight line quilting. I wanted to maintain the simple modern feel and the angles of the squares. I think I will be doing more of this type of quilting I love how it turned out. Not easy I can tell you but the effect is worth the effort. Now all thats left is a few hours of hand stitching on the binding and then into the wash. Show you soon. Might not be tomorrow as I am in Newport on Tay at a craft fair.

Happy Friday.

Dr Seuss Cat in the Hat Top Done

Happy Thursday

Another Cat in the Hat quilt ?

Don't ask me why, I don't know the answer but this morning I woke up with this quilt in my head. So I have made a start. When it will be finished who knows but right now it is burning a hole in my head so I am going with it. Do you ever get an idea that you can't stop thinking about until its done? happens to me often. I have learned to accept my creative obsession.

Happy Tuesday.

Blown Away!!!!!

Good morning all how are we all today? I am bleary eyed and full of a cold. The reason for the cold is my youngest, it was his special Mother's day gift and he was generous to share it with us all. The bleary eye's is because of these.

I knew they were gorgeous, practical and a great gift but I have been blown away with your interest in them my little email has been full of enquiries and orders ( there were a couple of emails about some of my other handmade goodies) I wouldn't want the new kid on the block to get all the credit.

So I have been making and making and making over the weekend I just hope I will have enough to take to my little craft fair on Saturday.
You still have time if you are quick to order one for a special Easter gift just email me and I will get back to you.

So I will love you all and leave you I have to nip to the shops and have a tone of washing to get through as well as more sewing.

Happy Monday.
