softees

I have been sewing deprived lately so I made these two weird creatures for fun. I have no idea what to do with them but I had a ball making them.


A bright elephant cushion.

A crazy cat doorstop, who looks like he has chicken pox.................lol

I love holidays

I haven't blogged for ages but have been reading everyone Else's. I have been relaxing with the kids so I haven't done much sewing at all.


I have made this though

The red corduroy actually looks really funky with the inside fabric. Of course little one inherited this one. I am going to make Cam one from blue corduroy and boy fabric.

Then I made these;



I also made this 17 years ago but no one told me that if you fed it, it would grow and become independent............................




Oh my gosh! My big boy is all grown up. He got his P's last Friday. I don't feel old I just feel redundant. He gives me a kiss when he says goodbye and drives out the drive way all by himself. Well done little man. Of course the cake was made by Stevie the cake artist.
Til next time

I am no good with titles

I have trouble thinking of a title so I am not having one today.





Sarah invited me to have a look at her quilt top she made at Kerry's workshop, at Calico Cross Roads today. Little one and I headed up there together and had a look around before Sarah and Rosanne arrived. Sarah the quilt top is gorgeous. Well done. Little one and I had a lovely morning with Pauline and the girls. Thanks Pauline for allowing us to loiter in your shop.





I made a sock monkey last night and my 17yo boy loved him. He thought the monkey was so cool. My second eldest and I decided to give it to Mr 17 because he always misses out on my home made items. While he was staying over at a mates house, I sat monkey on his bed with old faithful Ted. They appeared to hit it off straight away. I got big hugs and kisses from Mr 17. He is wrapped with him. He is still thinking of a name for Monkey. He is leaning toward Buddy. I think that is a great name.





Kristine Howard has a fantastic tutorial on how these little fellows come together. Give them a try, they are addictive.
