just play some elevator music ;)

Please excuse me as I play around with blog templates and designs, im trying to find 'me'.

enter at own risk

I was sewing last night, and looked down to see my husbands hard hat sitting on a box.  I had a little giggle and thought Id share it with you.  I recon that is what he puts n every time he dares to enter my den!

Have you discovered Made by Rae?

I did a little while ago, but didnt do much more about it :( But now I am in the market for a new bag pattern as Christmas is NEXT WEEK!! and I have presents to make!

So I am going to try and make the Buttercup bag for my neice for her birthday which was in November.  I also have her mother and her Aunt (both my sister in laws) so I might make them Lickerty Split bag.  I also LOVE the toddler back pack pattern, and have been eyeing that for a few months.

I also need to finish my bag swap, but am still arguing with myself over fabric choices LOL!

Lets see what I can come up with!

2 new redondos

Told ya they were easy, so much so that I made 2 more, one for my little girl and the other for a birthday pressie.  Its far easier for me to sew with the twirls going anti clockwise (on the right side).  So this will be the order from now onwards.

and also 2 little head bands, with mezzanine.

new title for my blog

I have decided to change the title of my blog, I hope that I dont confuse anyone.  I have for a while been wondering what to call my blog and also my sewing.  I wont be selling any of my creations, but it is nice to lut a little tag on things.  So when I remember I will pop on "my favourite" lable.

I decided to call it "my favourite" as that is what my boys call things that they love.  Whever they see something new they scream with delight "my favourite".  That excitement is what I hope that my creations create for people.

I hope to get a new header at some point soon too, so stay tuned.

very generous giveaway!

Over here in partnership with Retro Mummy- thank you for the opportunity :D

Chirstmas Redondo

This pattern is so easy and effective.  Only it does take some patience when cutting out.  Silly me put the fabric right sides to right sides, which gave me curves facing the different directions, so after I hit my head on the wall a few times I had to make it using the usual 5 curves.  I would have made it 6 (if it works) so that I could have had the same amount of fabric, rather than the larger panel at the front.

Pattern from Crafty mamas, link in the side bar.

Pl excuse the pics, she was eating and watching tv along with the 5.30pm hairdo!
