Haven't done any sewing today as I had to take my brother back to the airport. He got the times wrong so we had time for lunch in a lovely pub (I couldn't drink as I was driving ) shame! anyway this is something I made last week and was looking for a frame for it, found one today and it will be in my shop soon: Is now in my shop.
The campervan, I wish I had a real one.
today this arrived:
from Nicky at thevintagemagpie.This was inside:
I ordered Lillian and Nicky sent this lovely heart as well. Made my day, it did. We are going to call her Lily. She likes sitting on these spotty suitcases.
oh that looks stupid, unless you're drunk.
Isn't she cute, I love her, all spotty too. Well spotty ears and body.
My computer died on me earlier, don't know what is going on with it this week, it's trying to test my patience. I think it needs to go to the doctors to get looked at, anyway it is behaving at the moment. Monkee is still in my bad books, will try to sew him in the next couple of days. Thanks for the comments on stuffing him.
Today has been one of those days where I wish it had gone better. My internet connection decided to go awol so I spent 53 minutes on the phone trying to get it fixed. I am sure those guys go all round the houses just to make money on a 0845 number. So that fixed popped out to see a friend in need and when I came back a parcel had tried to be delivered but needed a signature, I know those guys wait round the corner until you go out before they deliver. Then tonight the grill on the cooker wouldn't work, don't know why but hayho tomorrow can only be better right? did manage to eventually get some stuff in my Etsy shop but can't figure out how to add the etsy logo to my blog.. if anty one with a typepad account can help me I would be so grateful, as I am such a nitwit with the computer. This is a boring, moany blog today. Pictures,, I need pictures.
This is a bag I've put on etsy, I made it at uni. It is made of silk and wool blanket and is layered and slahed with a button design. My Etsy shop is designsbydotty if you want to take a look. More will be going in soon. well would have been today if all the disasters hadn't happened. Monkees still not stuffed and new bunny not started and not enough hours in the day, oh and too much time looking at lovely blogs. Also put Clara Camel on etsy.
I spent lots of the afternoon sewing the monkee, but he looks ugly, his mouth is small, I can't get his face right and when I showed the boys they laughed and said he was ugly(nasty boys) but they are right. He has UGLY genes, must be the parentage.I can only show you a before picture.
What am I to do?
I think my computer is feeling like me today, on a go slow. It is taking ages to do anything. Well although I wasn't going to show any photos of Bobby Bunny just yet, I have changed my mind, as I am going to make a different bunny for Lucy's easter swap. So here he is:
I give up with the computer and will try again later. I have a monkee in the throws of completion. I can't knit but my lovely mum can so I persuaded her to knit a monkee but she doesn't like sewing them up, so I have that lovely task. If I feel a bit better I may show you him later. I am losing the will to live with this computer, it is soooooo sloooow today.Hopefully back later.
I have a horrible cold, my lips are sore 'cos I can't breathe through my nose and have to breathe through my mouth and therefore I have sore lips, No sewing done today. Yesterday I sewed a bunny wabbit but it was kidnapped by my youngest and he isn't giving it back. In fact it is tucked up beside him in bed. He has named him Bobby Bunny, so I now have to make another for the bunny swap. i can't show any pictures cos that would spoil it so Here's something I made a while ago. It is in an exhibition at the moment.
I love spots, spotty wallpaper and a spotty skirt! I feel dotty right now with my cold, I'm going to bed goodnight.
Oh dear, my children have given me their germs. I am now ill, sore throat and temperature. I got a new book today, through the post, pictures are not good as I took them in not good light.
But nice patterns.
And now I have done this:
Eaten the chocolates Cheryl sent me for the valentine swap. They were bl...y lovely too!!
I can't really show you this but peek at a bit of it, it's a pile of bunny limbs. I'm hoping it will become a bunny but have to wait and see.
I was hoping to put some work in an etsy shop but children on half term and my brother and niece here have not made that happen, I am hoping to get some work done soon, have to get a few dvd's out for the children to watch, so I can sew.
Oh look what the postie brought me today, all the way over the big pond....Goodies..lucky me. It is my Valentine swap from Cheryl at polkadots and rickrack. This is what I found:
And inside was this:
A lovely quilt runner, a spotty pin cushion, a card and some yummy heart choccies. Cheryl had signed the back of the quilt:
And this is what I sent Cheryl:
I hope she's got it now and doesn't look at my blog today!! Anyway THANK YOU Cheryl it's all lovely. Hope you like yours.
This is the back of the coffee cosie. I'm off to go bowling now with my brother, niece, Mum and boys. So hope I win!!!
