It's been a while!

So I've been a bit busy lately... 2011 started off pretty busy and so I though what about adding a little more to that full plate and starting uni??? Yep, so my first unit was statistics, I had two assignments and an exam and did well on both the assignments, still waiting for my exam results but hoping I passed, it was really tough!

So anyway, I've been doing some cooking but I haven't done any sewing for months :( I miss it but I know if I start that I won't get any study done at all so for the moment it's study and cooking :)

New Fabric!

I love getting new fabric that I've ordered online! I love opening the box, checking out each fabric and then later folding it all up and putting it up on my stash shelf. Here's what I got this order!

Inspiration

I love to read sewing blogs, I get lots of inspiration from looking at what others are creating, this morning I came across something really beautiful, so beautiful I wanted to share it with you all.

Amy from During Quiet Time created this little beauty! Go on over to her blog and check out what's behind the door! Have a look around while you're there, she makes some gorgeous things :)

Celebrate the Boy!

Thanks to Nic for the heads up on Celebrate the Boy month on Made... can't wait to see what they come up with, I'm sure I'll collect a few more projects to add to the to-do list! Click the image below for all the details :)



I'm going to use this post as a reminder of all the things I want to make...

A New Pillow!

There has been a lot of cooking lately and not a lot of sewing... my other half has been away and by the time night rolls around I am shattered and sewing takes up way too much brain power! Cooking is something I can do with my oldest, he loves to help me out in the kitchen.

I enjoyed making the pillow for Bella and I wanted to make another one, it was intended for Alex but I really like it... maybe it's for me instead!

After it was sewn up I was undecided on how to finish it and it really didn't look done, I thought I'd give some hand quilting a go, it's the first time I've done it and it's definitely crooked and uneven stitches but that adds to the beauty of it... right?

So here it is! I've also entered it into the Blogger's Pillow Party. There are some amazing creations there!
