Fabric Boxes

Ever since first getting my hand on the
Sunday Morning Quilts
Book, I wanted to make one of these

From these humble beginnings

 

a bit of quilting

 

 

some lining

 

a little bit of breakfast cereal box between

and now a home for my red scraps
...and now I want to make one in every colour!

 

I have already started a green one

 

I LOVE this book!

 

Report PJ's

 

I have been known to make a quilt before settling down to school reports.
This time I made myself some groovy Valorie Wells PJ's.
I am The Great Procrastinator!
I made them, I'm wearing them, I'm blogging about them . . .

. . . and now I need to get back to reports.

But first, have a look at this BEAUTIFUL Empire Jacket!
My very special friend Brenda made it and gave it to me me me!
It was a wonderful feeling to receive such a gift.
It made me think, I hope that's how other people feel when I give them a quilt.

Thanks friend

Some Fabric LOVE

Did anyone say

Flannels?

I did have a lovely Saturday Morning!
Despite the disappointment in not finding the
Kaffe Flannels

 

 

These were flannels, and I was very tempted

The wool was divine - and I did get a couple of balls, as it's almost time for
CROTCHET
YEAH!

Yes, RIC RAC and I had a Breakfast meeting at
Millrose

 

FULL of beautiful things.
Before heading to school for the afternoon to get stuck into
School Reports!

Then home for a bit of "chill out" time with my Rag Rug.

 

 

"Little bits of happiness"

We're coming to the end of Autumn.  I went out into my garden today, thinking that it would be hard to find much that I could take photos of.  It was cold, overcast and bleak. As I started searching, I kept finding
"little spots of happiness".

Hot Lips - Salvia had strong colour in the cold

A pink Nerrine was peeping through the leaves of the spent
Japanese Windflowers

These guys! or rather girls, I keep finding out of their palace EVERY morning.  Look what they have done to my once nice neat pile of horse poo. 
Probably taken all the worms too.

 

Thinking the beauty was limited outside, I went into my shed . . . I found these poppy seed heads that I couldn't bare to part with in the summer time.
I'd made arrangements in pots from my clever sister.

 

This sign was made many years ago, to make no mistake as to whose shed this belonged to - I have changed sheds since then, but it still fits.  We have his and her's sheds in our family.

Oh . . . and then I came inside, and did a bit of blog looking, and read about the "little spots of happiness."  I totally related to it, and thought yes, I had just found those little spots of happiness in my world.

 

Addictive

The colour and form of these Rag Rugs are addictive

 

The big bowl was given to me at Easter time with eggs in it by my sister.
Happy Birthday Fiona!
I just love this basket, and it seems to be made with junk mail.
I'm going to nut out how to do it.

The little bowl I found on Etsy, from Snuggly Monkey.
It is super cute and made with fabric.

I just love all the colours all mixed in together - I love
the way they are so happy, like dancing fairies in the garden

 

 

 

 

Not sure how big it is going to end up.  When it's there I think I'll know - yes, all wovens Megan.
