And now...

This week Bear was off to a Stars Wars party.

Now boys I find are just not as easy to made things for,

so given the birthday boys interest in Star Wars I came up with this... 

A Star Wars pillow case which matches his other bedding.

And on a bright note I'm now able to do a bit of this again

Hooray it feels like a very long time

since my hook and I have been busy

( about 8 weeks but who's counting).

Very keen to get my ripple blanket finished

( its getting very cold) the end is in sight!!

Check out other creative spaces....

I did it....

Well its official.....

I can now say I have MADE A QUILT!!!!

I love quilts but feel like I dont have time to get into quilting yet.

 I figure once Moo gets older and isnt as keen on Mum made stuff

 ( I'm hoping she loves it forever but I remember not wanting my mum to make things

and asking for shop bought stuff) then I will have time to get into quilting.

Recently I wanted to make something for a close friends significant birthday and the only thing I could think of was a quilt.

So with the help of some clever friends  I embarked on a quilt.

Here is my finished product!
Im pretty happy with how it turned out
and was tempted to keep it ..
at least to be able to see how much I hopefully improve in years to come.
But.. it was well received and loved by the person for whom it was intended
so I shall just have to enjoy seeing it when I visit.

A big thanks to Mum who finished off the binding as my annoying injury
was not enjoying the hand stitching process.

What have you been up to?

Here's a first...

Well I decided to make something for the upcoming significant birthday of a close friend and decided on a quilt for the couch.

Only problem with that is I'm not a quilter, love them and interested but just not the time as yet.

Once Moo decides its no longer cool to wear things Mums made

I figure I will have the time to get into quilting....I hope!

So with very little idea ( I've made a dolls quilt but that doesn't help me feel like I know what Im doing)

 I decided a jelly roll quilt may be a good place to start.

Well  so far i have joined all my jelly rolls together...Yay!

( Although I suspect thats the easier bit).

Okay it definitely wasnt square but it certainly wasnt as out as this photo makes it look.

( Note to self check you have a decent photo to post!!)

And using my clever embroidery machine a personal note on the backing.

Okay tommorrow I will attempt putting it all together.

Wish me luck as anything could happen from here!!!

Head over to Our Creative Spaces and see what all the clever people are making.
