Home Tomorrow

I promise i haven't popped out to an Internet cafe to avoid repacking! I honestly do...eurgh i hate the whole repacking thing. On the plus side it will be nice to get home to cheltenham and see arthur and everyone else...i dearly love coming home to see my mum and dad but its always nice to get back to your own house and not worry about eating the last chocolate biscuit or whatever!!
I had a really productive trip to lynn...apart from today (due to bad headache) i have made something everyday! I'll post pics later

Well i guess i cant avoid it anymore....i must pack and prepare myself for the bus trek home!

Take Care

Comfortable and Happy at Home.

I'm not sure what to do with all of this spare time...no cinema until Friday no orders or sales to get ready and to top it off I'm at home with my mum and dad and sister in their nice centrally heated house!! (what a novelty!)



Oh did i mention that i have this little man to keep me company when I'm chugging along on mums old sewing machine!

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen i give you Blue. He's a charming young man who likes to wake people up at 4 in the morning eating plastic bags by your bed!

Whilst i was talking rubbish to Blue this afternoon i made this for Rachel. Shes at stage school and so always has lots of stuff in her bag like ballet shoes and other such essentials. I thought this would be the perfect size for her and i really like the fabric!

I would post more pictures but it takes quite a long time to load them up! sorry!!

Wonder what i will make tomorrow?

Night Night

Hello from sunny Ol' Lynn

hellllllllloooooo!!!!

How is everybody?? I feel a bit dissattatched from everything here, mum and dad only have a dial up connection so everything goes really slooooowwwwly. Anyways...The affore mentioned bags of fabric in the last post were full of wonderful stuff!!! I tried taking a picture but it didn't do it justice (I'm really bad at taking pictures!) amongst these scraps was a lovely piece of stripey silk fabric and i was too impatient to wait until i got back to cheltenham to do something with it sooooo i made this!

Hmmmm...doesn't really do it justice but I'm really pleased with it..its the first thing i have ever made which is made 100% from silky fabric. It has two zips and is dusty pink inside. It ties up with a yellowy colored ribbon. Is also supposed to be for someones Christmas present......but I WANT IT!!!

Anyways must dash fabric to cut and things to make!!!

Take Care!

I'm off tomorrow!

I did mean to put pictures of our lovely Christmas tree which we put up today but I'm too snuggled and sleepy on the sofa to go upstairs for my camera (gasp!) So i will post them tomorrow....when i will be back home in Kings Lynn for a week!! wohoooo! Can't wait to see ma and pa and the cat!! The promise of two bags of fabrics from one of the people my mum works for is making it even more appealing!! Its a bit of a surprise trip...i got told i had a fair bit of holiday pay left to take so i decided to take it as soon as i could!!

Anways....time for bed i think...the buse leaves at nine in the morn and i dont get off til half 5!! i'm going to need to manufacture lots of zzzzzzz's to get me through that...
take care

And this...

And this...?

You get these!!!

Carrot and Cinnamon Muffins!!! Topped with Philadelphia icing and walnuts!!

They make for lovely...

TEA!! (see the lovely plates? we found them in a charity shop for 75p each...one has a bear on and is arth's because arthur means bear...and the other has a fox on which is my one!I think they are Norwegian and I'm not sure they are made to use but they look to good to leave in a cupboard or on a wall!)

First Batch All Finished!

What a lovely day I have had!! No cinema today so I went for a coffee with Tanya and little Gethyn and then I headed back to the flat to finish off Alix's order from the sale on Saturday and they all went swimmingly (wrapping them up was just as much fun for me as making them...im pretty sure that wrapping everything up and making it look good for the person who brought it is just as important as the item you wrap.) Then after my adventures with brown paper and string I had lovely nachos and dip for tea and watched Deadwood with Arthur...a great night!!

Thought I'd put up some pictures of the orders all lovely and wrapped up...

Wish they were all for me!!!!
