Too cold to sew

It has been way too cold to sit at my machine, so I have been doing alot of knitting, love knitting in winter. But thats not too good when I have alot of things I should be doing, one being a birthday swap. I did finish these dolls last night. Now, the recipient likes these kind of dolls and I must say these ones have grown on me

Formal Dress

I have spent the last two weekend "clothes" sewing, now I havent done that for years so it was a challenge but like riding a bike, you never forget. Finally finished off last night so here it is. It is for my Daughters formal and I love it!! so does she......

Collages

I am really enjoying making these fabric collages, no more sticky fingers from glue..lol Here is one I have just finished for a friend

Latest Swap

Our group is doing a small dolly swap from a free pattern on Patternmart that is being offered at the moment. These dollies look nothing like the pattern and were alot of fun to make (despite turning and sewing those tiny little arms...lol) I hope my partner likes them

Been a bit quiet

Ive been a bit quiet of late, never seem to have enough time for all I want or need to do. I have finally finished my Chocolate Crow Trader items today, the new edition will be out on the 15th. This is a sneak peak of one of my latest items

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!!
