hello goofy

Some photos just come out funny; why do I look like such a mutant? This fabric was bought from the same lady as the blouse a couple of posts down. Thank you lady. The pattern is from the May edition of Burda magazine.

Today I have been working on my patchwork:

I'm finding it a bit 70's.

ginger

This is Ginger. He is old. He is the same age as me, but that is really old in bear years. When he was young he had a proper sticking out snout. As you can see his muzzle is very worn exposing the stuffing. When I was little my mum would sew on new felt, on his muzzle and paws. Now I am grown (promise) and call my self a sewer, so why can't I bring myself to do it?

computer 1, sewing 0

The thing about the computer is; all that inspiration, and new sewing skills.
I just want to make cute little sarubobo all summer long, thank you mairuru for sharing your amazing sarubobo tutorial, I can't wait to make some.

The thing is... since I got my laptop, I have done exactly no sewing. Not a stitch. I hope it wears off, but if it doesn't, luckily I got a lot done having not been distracted these last few months.

Here is something I knocked up earlier. Much earlier...I got this fabric for 50p! at a car boot sale. I wish I could live at the car boot. Kind of like joining the circus. Which might also be good.

My last post was in Febuary, which tells me that it has been about four months now that Rick (husband) has been addicted to Darkorbit. So here is my new laptop...
and to celebrate, look how tidy my fabric is! Which makes perfect sense. Glad to be back online.

doin's and fidlin's

Well as usual I'm trying to do too much all at once, and my sewing machine is being rather moody so I thought I would spend some time in cyber space. Actually the computer was free, I pounced. Here are some recent doin's and fidlin's.

First of all I finished my trousers. They are really warm, just what is needed in these arctic conditions.

Second, I finished a fox necklace which was requested after the first one sold at the xmas fair.

and because it will probably never be finished, I though I would show the work in progress of my cross-stitch odyssey:

Lastly, I nearly went to the Hayward to see this exhibition yesterday:

Good job I didn't, it doesn't open till March. So that is my pick for March!

hanky

It's one of those times when I'm sewing so many things at once that I've got nothing finished to show. Except for this little hanky made especially for HS!
