Goodbye

Today we are saying goodbye to our craft night friend Leeanne, she passed away on Saturday.  So last night we made a lovely wreath for her, we all do different crafts so we had flowers made from fabric, crocheted and felted.

Leeanne was full of knowledge, whenever we needed some ideas she was full of them.  We had a lovely evening sitting round the table making this for her.  We will miss her at craft night.  

And here we are picnicing last month on a garden tour celebrating Lillie's 8th birthday.  She'd ask me every week when am I going to get blogging again so Leeanne here it is, this ones for you,  I will keep at it now, have loads to tell, later.

Rest in peace Leeanne, we'll miss you

My baby turns 4

 

Our baby boy turned 4 last week, time has flown by and this is what he is got for his birthday.  A road map car quilt.  I think his lego will live on this quilt!

The pattern was a freebie from spotlight, you can find it here.  Very easy to make and could use any pattern fabric,  I got some from spotlight and some form Etsy.

 

 

 

  

He is also right into tools and fixing things at the moment and we had 3 other birthdays this week for little boys so made them all their own personalised tool belts.

Happy Birthday big boy!

 

 

Scrap Bag Swap 2014

For the past 3 years I've taken part in Nin's Scrap Bag Swap.  I just can't load the photo up so have a look at her site.  We all get given a person to send a bag of scraps to and then get one in return from someone else.  Its great fun and this is what I got this year.

I love them all and have already made some fabric embroidery hoops for the spare room, just needed a couple more to finish it off.  But not sure they look right!  The screws were already there and was trying not to put more up but what ever way i position them it doesn't seem to be quite right!

 

There is a blog hop on with different crafters making things to give you some ideas on what can be make with little pieces of fabric so go and have a look.

 

I can't seem to move some of these photos around, blow it!
