I am in love with lace

I am really enjoying messing around with a box of old lace and doilies I have. I originally wanted it for altered art and mixed media work but am now enjoying incoporating it into my sewing. Here is a bag I whipped up on the weekend. Hope everyone had a lovely Mothers Day xx This is what I received from a friend for a mother and baby swap we had in one of our groups. I love her!!

Coming Soon

I designed and made this plus a pattern on the weekend. I love how it turned out, I have a few other things in the wings which I should be able to share with you soon....

Anzac Day

All spare a moment on the 25th April to remember our fallen, our Defence Members currently serving overseas, and the familes they have left behind. My husband and I both served in the Forces as did our relations, and any proud Australian is moved on this special day.

"They shall not grow old, as those that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We shall remember them"

Some Patterns

I have finally gotten around to finishing off some patterns I started almost 2 years ago. I have actually had some time on my hands. I have listed a free pattern and two for sale. My Goth Girls, do not have to be done as Goths, they could be stained rather than painted in white, and then their clothes made from fabrics of your choice. I designed these two for my daughter and I love how they turned out. Hopefully Ill be able to now devote more time into drafting patterns for my other creations now that I have been motivated...Hope you like them xx

Mixed Media Wall Hangings

I have been messing around with and experimenting with these little wall hangings, they are on average 10"10" in size. I am having a lot of fun with these
