crafty supplies and a little break :)

 

a quick catch up before I disappear off line for a while to catch up with family and friends :) this Easter is looking to be a cold one...hope you haven't packed away your woollies just yet (unless of course you live somewhere nice and warm)...

 

 -cards made with fabby Sean Simms papers and Paperchase stickers....

-this is going to be one crazy colour pop of a quilt but I love it...and I will be found buried underneath it for the next few weeks hand stitching...

there has been much activity inside my little work shed..and some new items will be ready to list in my etsy shop when I get back on line :)

 

and a few more :)

I treated myself to this book..I have only peeked inside so far but I am very excited about the contents of this book...this is so up my street crafting wise and I can't wait for a quiet moment to have a good old look...

and I have bundled up some crafty supplies to keep me going...

wishing you all a very happy easter break 

back soon

Plans...

Hello... It's a cold snowy Saturday and Easter is only a week away, no Easter tree for us this year but a few bunny related items will be popping up before next weekend I'm sure...
The plans for this weekend are more quilt making, snuggling and a big walk somewhere with our boys and Arnie x
Happy weekend x x x x

happy post...

...today is sunny and this post is all about a happy swap :) last week I did a little fabric swap with the lovely Susi ...her blog is beautiful and full of lovely ideas and tutorials made with young children in mind...do go take a peep..

it was supposed to be just a fabric swap but being crafty (not like a fox) types we both added a few extras...in my package was this beautiful patchwork mini quilt :)

and this cute painting....perfect . :) so excited was I to receive such lovely things from someone across the seas... the fabrics Susi sent were lovely and I had a few spare hours at the weekend so I made some cushions :)

it's really nice working with fabrics I hadn't had before...I quilted the cushions and then backed them in some black and white gingham...

 

and then added the obligatory pompoms that seem to be taking over the house at the moment :)

 I can truly recommend swapping :) it made me a very happy bunny indeed x x x 

a little shopping...

hello... I thought I would share a few high street bargains today :) my plan for this year was to re paint most of the house but as yet I don't seem to be getting very far. I have spotted a few things and brought them home in the hope it would inspire me...as yet it hasn't quite worked but I live in hope :)
Firstly was this fine retro lamp in yellow  - here

then there is a lovely retro storage jar for keeping Arnie's little bone biscuits in here

and these brilliant prints from  good old

the lurgy is still lurking and I haven't been up to much but I have been busy with the pom pom makers and have made a few cushions :)

nearly friday :)
