So much fabric, glitter, paint, so little time!







I have sooo many things to do, I have fabric laid out on the kitchen table, the lounge room floor and the piano and the ironing board!! Each in it's own little colour lot, the table is retro cute, the lounge room floor is shabby pinks and blues and gingham check, and the piano is all pinks and baby. Not to mention the plastic crates also laden with fabric around the house! When I create something I like to do a whole series or a collection I should say, like at least 3 cushions that go with another three cushions, wall hangings, little embroidered numbers and collages. I try to work on one colour at a time, or rather one series at a time, but then sneaky little ideas creep in and I start planning something new before I have finished the first lot and then that old sleep thing gets in the way! I am supposed to be having a rest in the afternoon, a little Nana nap, but I have too many things to do, I want to play before the kids get home and then when they go to bed. Sometimes like now I sneak a little time in when they are home and watching TV. Oh I really can't work out this photo thing, are you supposed to drag it or something, here I will give it a go. Nope better ask someone. Anyhow these cute little tags are part of the collection I am working on at the moment, there are cushions to go with them and hopefully some wall hangings by the end of the week. I did these cute little rag doll cushions, I hope they turn out the way I imagine.


My houseis in such a state of disarray, I have no idea where to start, so to solve the problem, I shove in some more chocolate/fruit/coffee/tea/whatever's handy and do some sort of sewing. I think I can replace sleep with food, there is however a down side, which would be the fact that my clothes are not quite as comfy as they were a few weeks ago. Oh well will work on that later. Have been out shopping today so tomorrow will have to be a rest day. Speak to you then,TTFN KN Linda.
