Fabric Delight

 Glorious new fabric from Canton Village Quilt Works! I got this a few days back and have been gazing at it lovingly since.

Just look at it! All green and blue and lovely!

Only a fellow fabric maniac can understand the measure of a fabric affliction -which gives me hope because I know there are so many of you out there....

So, I write this post to you who will understand my happiness at having all this lovely cotton arrive at my doorstep.

I just love these prints and the quality of the fabric is great. It's nice and sturdy quilting cotton and I can imagine how easy it will be to work with. 

I will definately be following up with what I do with it.

Making Pom Poms

These are so great to make with kids!!

I haven't yet met a kid who doesn't get really excited with these.

There are some great tutorials for making pom-poms on youtube.

You can check some out here.

Warm Chocolate

These are my newest organza flowers, in a deep, rich chocolate brown.

I think I'll turn one into a brooch and keep it myself. I find that brown is such an easy-to-wear winter colour.

Gotta love it!

Definately an accessory worth wearing this winter...

Monogrammed Sea Rocks

What started out as a quick and simple present idea for a friend has initiated a monogrammed sea rock craze. 

These were made with a 1930s art deco vibe in mind so there are the bold lines, sunburst-inspired motifs and a font that's reminiscent of lettering of the era.

I've made more that have already been given away which I didn't have time to photograph. 

I'm happy to say they were all well-received.

Now I'm just waiting for a trip down to the beach to get more rocks....

Because I just can't stop.

 There are so many designs in my head that I want to experiment with.

Fairytale Flower Review

The lovely Duni of Duni's Studio was kind enough to do a review on a couple of my Fairytale Flower items the other day.

You can read all about what she had to say HERE.

I just love the pictures she took.

She's the pretty face just below, wearing my latest earings.

And here are a couple of pictures I took on my own of said flower earrings.

I love the rich orange of this fabric. It's a colour that I always associate with fall and I love to see it in fall accessories.

These are only just over 2cm or about half an inch (0.5inches) and I think they are very cute indeed but, at the same time, I can't wait to make some much, much bigger ones.

Real statement earrings.

Flower Sea Rocks

More sea rocks with floral motifs.

I love making these.

We have a bowl full of them in the hall and use a couple of large ones as paperweights. They are very handy when sewing actually. I use them to hold down pattern pieces that flutter in the breeze -when there's a breeze.....
