Hi there everyone, thought I would drop in to let you all know what I have been up to. Im still with child, no movements here. I have been feeling frustrated and I really want done now. I am still not getting much sleep, and have lots on my mind mostly about going into hospital. My hips are still giving me jip at night which does not help!
On the plus side my house is super clean well mostly; may be its the nesting thing. House work is definitely harder to do because of my big belly, and I get out of breath quicker. Yet there is no slowing me down. if something is out of place I need to sort it, organise it, or clean it.
My crafting stamina is on a all time high; I have never made so my things. As you know I have been making things for my craft stall in November. Lots of little bits and bobs have been made, and I will show you these closer the time.
I finished a scarf inspired by http://ladybirddiaries.blogspot.co.uk/. How ever I still love hers more than mine because of the yarn she used. I had no pattern just kind of winged it by looking closely at hers.
I have been on the sewing machine too. We recently brought a lovely wicker chair from ikea that needed a cushion, so I made a scrappy patchwork cushion. The fabrics I used were bits and bobs, and some liberty prints I brought years ago from https://folksy.com/shops/veryberryfabrics. Its not very good patchwork. but, I like having a go all the same.
Lastly I must show you a little craft haul from http:/www.prettyfabricsandtrims.co.uk/ When I saw the fox in socks fabric it made smile. My daughter who normally takes no interest in sewing loves this print, so I will be making her a new pencil case out of it for September. The Christmas fabric will be used for my craft stall, and the binding tape (who knows there just gorgeous)
Well that's all for now. Hopefully I will have baby news when I return next. Until then happy crafting every one hugs x
