Fabric Swap

Hello Little Birdie,
I have signed up for a fabric swap and I am very excited about it.
If you would like to sign up as well please see click on the link here. Thanks to Katy for organising it.

Pin Cushions

Hello Little Birdie,

Today I completed some pin cushions.

They were made with some scraps from my fabric stash and some buttons I had.
I am happy with how they turned out and were surprised that no matter which fabric and buttons I used, even if I wasn't crazy about it them, it still worked out well.

The pattern is one I found created by dearfii, one of my favourite blogs.

The link to the pattern is here. I am going to give these pin cushions to my family and keep one for myself. Not sure which one I will keep yet. Maybe the blue and red one.

Lavender Pillow Cross Stitch

Hello little birdie,

I also completed a second project on the first day of the year.

I was given two lovely cross stitch kits for Christmas by my mother in law and being the craft tragic that I am I started them straight away.

I decided to make them into lavender pillows for draws and will give one to my mother in law and one to my mum when i see them next. I think they came up really lovely and the lavender I used I picked and dried from my mothers garden.

Size One Overalls

Hello little birdie,
I have completed my first project for 2009.
I actually completed this project on the first day of the year (I did have it cut out for about six months).
It is a pair of size one overalls, made from brown cord and lined with a cute cotton car fabric I found at spotlight. The pattern is one my mum gave to me, one size only and that she used to make overalls for my siblings.
