stitch 'n' button

What I want to make.

So lovely these letters - really want to make a c for me!! They are by someone called Chris Mello but I have lost the link :-(

Also this fab fabric picture but lost that link too!! So gorgeous and great fun. Get that retro fabric out!!

Crafty bits

Making new things at the moment - had a mad afternoon making badges for everyone at work from vintage fabrics. I love them and have made loads and have made some for a friends birthday as well.
I have added some more to the gallery. Take a peek. We have decided to have a 'Badge and Bitch' rather than a 'Stitch and Bitch' this month!!

Stitching with the family

Well it's all very exciting at the moment - I am to be a bridesmaid for the first time ever and I am making my own dress. Of course this is with te help of the family and we are having a very fun time cutting everything out. Photos to follow!!! Wish me luck.

Catch Up

I have not posted anything for ages. We have been away in Spain and also doing far too much DIY. We have transformed the garden and had new windows. Now we need to start decorating - will it never end. One of the really nice things we did a few months ago was a Baby shower with lots of lovely made items. It was for our friend Lorraine who since then has had the most gorgeous baby boy.

Flower power!

This year I have started trying to be more creative again (those new years resolutions sometimes work). One of the creative things I have been up to lately is floristry.  I have been doing an evening class and have really enjoyed creating with flowers. I am going to pop some of them into a photo album so you can all see how bad I am, but its fun, so that's what matters.

I am also in the process of putting a website together so I can start selling some of my fabric creations so keep checking in to see whats going on.

Stitch n Chat!!

We had our first ever Stitch 'n' Chat (More pleasant than a bitch).  In fact there wasn't much chatting either as we were all learning new skills and all concentrating very hard as you can see. After all this hard work Jo Jo pulled hers to bits and started again!!  Watch this sapce to see the progression of the very pretty lilac scarf.

Jo Jo and Anna Working hard on the lilac scarf!

I started to learn crochet and managed to create a wonderful bikini!  Have a look at the photo album.

Jo knitting a lovely fluffy blue number!

I forgot to mention that I visited a fantastic knitting shop the other day Loop in Islington - it was so busy though so I am going to make another trip there during the week.  Gorgeous wools!
