My Creative Space

My creative space this week in one word, applique. Here are a couple of finished t-shirts. I have got lots of things in the finished pile, but haven't been sharing - bad blogger. I will be rectifying that next week.

Catching Up

In life there are so many distractions, some good and some bad. In a house with 2 young children and a puppy and lots going on, life can become a little crazy. For my own sanity I love catching up with some me time at the sewing table, sit and create for a while. It appears that I am not the only one who likes to catch up on some "me time" in the sewing corner, luckily there is enough room for Squirty (the grey ball of fluff) and Pocoyo too. I have given them a towel so they stay off the fabric, nice puss negotitation I think.

More great words and pictures at Pip's place.

Eye Spy ... My Work in Progress

My work in progress is still in it's early infancy stage, I haven't even cut it out, but it is the biggest single project that I have on the horizon. It is Glen's birthday at the end of May so I really want to make him a super cosy jacket for winter now he is catching the early train for work. I am a little nervous, I am not use to so many pieces and sooo much fabric but I am sure I will be fine once I start.
Thanks to Michelle for this weeks theme I really love to see what everyone has cooking. Remember Mr Linky at the bottom, if anyone is having trouble putting in their address let me know. I am hoping the fabulous Jhoanna at One Red Robin will be able to help us out next week. am always amazed at her amazing sewing and great finds (she has a great eye for some beautiful dolls) and she is also super sweet.

I also wanted to say thank-you to all the fantastic comments that I have been receiving lately. I always so excited to get your feedback and support. Can talk now, must go - sewing, sewing, sewing - like a machine.

My Creative Space

The creative space this week is very late and very messy, I have all my bits out trying to decide on combinations for the July Sydney market and getting as much done while Mum is here. I am thinking I will do some plainer boys pants, you can see the start of them. They are a black striped denim with linen back pocket with train trim. I must admit I am a fan of embellishing but these are growing on me. My little Black Apple sketch book that I have been jotting in sits on top.

More creative and punctual people at Kirsty's.

Little Red Riding Pop



I finished the red flannel jacket from last weeks Creative Space and I am sooo in love with it. It has a super sweet old school feel, and I so love a little 1960's in my day. The trim is Trefle linen with ballerina pigs, there should be more pigs doing ballet I say. The last photo isn't the best of the jacket, but one of my favourite photos ever (not that I am biased).
