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 [...]
Craftsville…

I love Colette and Kiss Prudence…

House decoration musings…
As you know I moved house 4 weeks ago and in an effort to ‘get excited’ about owning my own house I’ve decided to start looking at how I can decorate the rooms. I’ve mentioned this before but I don’t have the ‘house buying gene’ as I haven’t as yet got excited about the prospect [...]
Bank holiday blues…
I had a sewing disaster today, let me say now that I hate rubbish sewing patterns! I borrowed a book from a friend which has lots of lovely looking patterns in it, including the strappy top which I wanted to make but today I tried and it was a disaster. Let’s forget for a second [...]
I miss sewing…
I had a fabulous day planned today – a mega sewing day with 2 strappy tops made with my lovely new fabric but it didn’t happen, boo hoo. Instead me and the hubby spent all day tidying the spare room which more or less hasn’t been touched since we moved in a month ago. The [...]
