Illness blues…
Ok, I’m not really blue, just ill! I think I over did it trying to move in to my studio so for the last week or so I’ve been so under the weather that I’ve hardly been enjoying that new studio. I’ve taken some time for proper rest and recovery which means stopping at home, [...]
Fabric love…
I’m excited because tomorrow I’m visiting my favourite fabric shop again, Patchwork Direct in Darley Dale. I’m going back for some more gorgeous Polly Loves Paris fabric and the pattern for the most gorgeous quilt in the world. It’s been a couple of months since I last went and I’m sure I blogged about it [...]
The big studio move…
It’s been over a week since my last post and as you can tell from the title of this one I got the studio! I was terrible in the interview of course but for some crazy reason they seem to really want me in there so I was kindly offered the space and of course [...]
Studios and interviews…
This week I’m celebrating being in my studio for 1 year, hasn’t time flown? What better way to celebrate than to have an interview today for another studio! It’s not a way of celebrating actually as the prospect fills me with complete fear. I was lucky enough to just submit images of my work and [...]
Etsy front page – lucky me!
I’ve been lucky enough to be featured in three treasuries this week then today one of them made it to the front page which is fantastic! It’s only the second time I’ve been featured on Etsy’s front page and this time it’s with my fabric so that makes me super happy, here is the screen [...]
Back again…
Naughty me, I disappeared again. When you’re off work the days and weeks just merge and I’ve now got to the point when I’m not sure what day it is sometimes! Things have been bubbling along, I’ve been in the studio when I can, just trying to keep doing things. Printing anything that requires lifting [...]
New mirrors…
It’s been a while since I made some mirrors so I thought what better than to make some out of my new English Insults fabric. Whilst I was at it I also made some out of my Birdcage and new Bees in the Hive prints! Then I had a happy photo session to finish the [...]
Dress phase…
Summer isn’t here yet (in fact it’s really really cold) but I’m determined to not let that dampen my search for the perfect dress. After I completed my Rooibos this week I’ve decided that I can’t wait any longer before making another dress so I’ve ordered the pattern for the Eclair dress. I’m hoping to [...]
So many patterns, so little time…
I had an extremely productive morning today – I made the Rooibos dress! I was so excited through the whole process, I just couldn’t wait to see the finished product. I also had that slightly apprehensive feeling about whether the bugger will fit or not! No worries on that front though – it fits really [...]
I love Colette and Kiss Prudence…
I have a new pattern obsession – Colette patterns. My patterns arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to start them. My back is very bad this week so I can’t do much of anything but I can sit at a sewing machine so that’s what I did! Here is the gorgeous fabric I used, it’s [...]
