November has being an awful month  for us .. my Dad Tommie passed away and it was back and forth to Ireland like a Lepracaun on speed .. but we gave my Dad a good send off that I think even he would have being proud off - He was a very particuliar man .. and being a carpenter everything had to be just so ... we will miss you Tom ..So this month I only got to back about 2 things one was a christmas bunny .. that I had being asked to make .. initally 15 .. but with everything I just got around to making .. one .. yes 1 .. unno .. In memory I used an old shirt belong to my dad as the back of this one .. so little Sorcha .. will have a good old chew on that ... 

Christmas crafts

Felt christmas robins with Fabric wings and tales 

Just wanted a couple of these for myself this year for the tree .. have done my fave part of cutting .. now I just have to stuff and stitch 

The start of the long eared bunnies 

 I don't know .. really I don't know what my fascination is with bunnies .. well I don't have a fascination really .. but when I go to make a softie.. I always want to make rabbitts .. bunnies .. hares .. I suppose these are going to be more like hares really .. anyway my fave part the cutting out has just started .. .. double sided hares with very long ears .. that can wrap around themselves  - I was thinking !!

Can you se them take shape??? .. okay it may be hard to tell for now - but i am hopping to have some for sale in my shop soonish...

New arrivals ..

NEW WAYS OF SELLING

People are asking more and more about fabrics in form such  as jelly rolls and the like for patchwork and quilting.. A lot of the fabulous fabrics that come in from Japan are not available  in such form .. but we have being talking to each other .. well I have being talking to myself really .. and we are thinking that we could make it available for people to buy smaller pieces of fabrics in coordinating stacks for them to play around with more and to have less waste when they are experimenting . at the minute - not sure really how to do it .. but when I know more I will let you know..

SCRAPPY SCRAPS 

 I LOVE PLAYING WITH SCRAPS 

NEW ARRIVALS 

We have had some great new arrivals from the freespirit range .. I had being wanting to get freespirit into the shop for a while now - I always thought that it was great quality fabrics as well as being good value for money 

A lot of the new arrivals is firmly made up of greens and blues. oh yes and yellow.

pig- let footstool

 I always love the arrival of Echino fabric - great quality and always always something new and exciting .. I bought an old footstooll from Ebay and have being dying to cover it .... with the house going through some crazy DIY .. I wanted to wait until we were finished - but heck we are not - but I wanted  a new footstool anyway .. so staple gun in hand I just went for it ..

You can find  these fab fabric here with us 

small quilt

Now I don't know about you guys.. but I hate to say it - but I have never really made a proper quilt .. you know with the freehand stitching and such .. and after I go wow .. I made that - well this month that is all going to change .. yes ladies - it is quilt time .... now hold on this is not going to be like anything like you have seen at knit and stitch .. or the like .. all I know is I need three kiddies like quilts for three dear friends - that expecting little people.

It may not look like much now .. sticktaped to my room door.. but hey ...give me a  break - our house is a little on the small side

I have gone for greens .. blues and a touch or red .. I think that these combinations would be great for both boys and girls .. I really wanted to use cloud9 's  organic cotton - alongside the soft Kaffee Fassett cottons  .. stay tuned for updates
