busy doing...

03 April 2013

sewing. Aiming to have at least one quilt done for next month because there was none done in March!


Skull tooth fairy cushion tutorial, eye patches, another skull tooth cushion, March woodland sampler, Glampervan cushion, dinosaur tails, car tooth cushion, backed a crochet blanket.

Those tooth cushions were on my FAL list so that was one checked off and
I did finish this quilt from my FAL list too, in February!


I will be writing a new list soon and hoping to finish and start some quilts.
Until then I am working on bee blocks!

more tooth fairy cushions

15 March 2013

I have been tinkering away and recently made these tooth fairy cushions for my son's friend's birthdays.

The first is a design I've done before:


The mouth of the skull is a pocket for the tooth or any other treasures in the meantime!


The second one was fun to design and I am addicted to this type of applique. It is so easy and quick. 
I made the car front windscreen the pocket for the tooth:


I did some fmq and stitched a 5 onto the bonnet. I used a funky stitch on my machine to make the tyre tracks of the racecar. I'm usually such a stickler for following patterns but I think I might be doing some more of this type of thing because it allows me to just go with whatever comes into my imagination, use up scraps and they are quick projects that make nice gifts.


Happily both the boys love their new cushions!

These were waiting on my FAL list so it feels good to have checked another one off!

I also finished my March box for the Woodland Sampler. I adore these little designs:


Again I felt the yellow didn't stand out that much so I outlined in green:




I have collaborated with Nat to create a fun new blog with a monthly challenge and link party with giveaways!

Le Challenge

I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting this first month's theme for Le Challenge... well it is GEOMETRICS. Check out the blog for more information and have fun crafting! I can't wait to see what everyone makes and how you interpret the theme :)

Glad March has gone!

02 April 2012
It wasn't the most fun month, we were ill and I've been exhausted. The highlights were my son's birthday and the fun of the Stale Stash Swap.
Yet again I'm surprised with what I've managed to make this month - really I say that every time!!

I have a suspicion that I'm starting to find my own style, this mosaic seems brighter and more fun to me than some I've done before. Maybe because there's more kid stuff in there! Here's what I got done in March:



This month I'd love to work on making more things I love, developing my style and getting things finished (Stained qal *ahem*).  I'm also joining in the Retro Flowers QAL and want to finally get round to machine paper piecing something!! Also I'm hoping to finally get round to making my first cushion attempts!

I've not been great at commenting on peoples blogs recently, I can only apologise and with the Easter holidays in full swing here I will try my best to keep up but kids must come first!!
