February!

Hello Little Birdie,

I have neglected my blog this month.

It does not mean I have not been creative and finishing craft projects, starting new ones or becoming inspired by what fellow blogers are creating. I have so far completed 14 projects this year. Bellow is my February handy work.

A lined basket. I only made the lining, not the basket, the basked was found at my favourite second hand store.

Some parch work and quilted pencil cases. This is a great way to use up scraps.
Patch work and quilted pencil cases in progress. I need to go and purchase some zips.And last of all, more pin cushions. I just love making them. I want to give one to all of my friends because I think that they are so fun and cute!
I will try to post more often next month. I must become a more committed blogger!

Skirt For Me!

Hello Little Birdie,

Today I finished a skirt that I have had cut our for about 6 months. Its a little rough around the edges, but wearable. I have such difficulty following the instructions that I usually end up making them up. The pattern is Simplicity 4883. I have made another one of these in the past and find it very comfortable, especially in this hot weather. I love this fabric.

Fabric Swap Update

Hello Little Birdie,

I recently participated in I'm a Ginger Monkey's fat quarter swap organised by Katy.

It was so much fun choosing, sending and receiving beautiful fabric.

I would definitely participate in another one.

This is what I sent to Anna. Bright orange fabric, as she said that orange and yellow were her favourite colours. The Koala is for her little girl, some beautiful buttons and of course a couple of little birdies.

This is what I received from Anna. Beautiful blue check and yellow star fabrics and some wonderful buttons, ribbon and beads. They all came in the cutest plastic bags! I am not sure what I will make with these, but my mind is ticking over!

Pin Cushion Cups

Hello Little Birdie,

I have finished another project!

These are pin cushion cups. I had already completed most of this project last year, they just needed decorating.

I am pleased with how they turned out. They are bright, fun and useful.
I am finding that having a blog is really motivating me to complete projects as I want to post the pictures of the completed projects.

Fill your life with craft, its wonderful!
