I got My Pin Cushion!

Thank you Stephanie (Moobear Designs) for sending me the best pin cushion package ever! (minus the 80's fluro one...that was a joke!)

I got a gorgeous round pin cushion made from scraps of my favourite colour red fabric, love the birds and the shade of red is perfect. It's even got my name embroidered onto it! Stephanie also made a small brooch from the scraps of the scraps, very cute.

The fluro pin cushion was Stephanie's little joke because I said "I like most colours just stay away from 80's fluro", so what did she do...yep, made me an 80's fluro pin cushion...the cheek!! Luckily she made it so you could hide most of the fluro fabric if need be...phew.

And here's the 80's fluro one with the fabric tucked away, hopefully never to be seen again! (Although Ella's taken quite a liking to it so I don't think it will stay like this for long)

Thanks again Stephanie!! (I tried to email you but it bounced back, will try again later)

And thanks to Kate for organising it all, you've done a fantastic job!

Pin cushion is in the mail!

I just posted my pin cushions....hope my partner likes them.

Library bag, Lego and swap (oh my)...or my creative space

We needed a new family library bag and I have a ton of this hessian from my SILs birthday party a few years ago, so I added some red and white polka dots (can't go wrong with them) and made one. We usually get about 20 books so it had to be big and solid which it is...ask the sewing machine

We all watched James May's Toys the other night, the one with the huge Lego house. Joe got the bug and straight away made a small version with a light (iphone) on the roof, so clever. It even had a little table and chairs inside.

Here's a sneak peek at the pin cushion I've made for Fox's Lane Pin Cushion Swap. Hope my swap partner likes it!

My Creative Space...

Yesterday I went to Ikea and bought some fabric, so today I need to pre-wash it all. I might get to the sewing machine if time permits.

I'm also going to join in this Post Card Swap being run by Quirky Momma. Should be a fun (cheap) way for the kids to learn some geography and get mail at the same time.
