Thanks for popping in.....

Would you like to see some fabric I have recently 

'acquired'?

First, some fabric shopping.....

Liberty!

to add to my meagre stash, 

Fiona sent the three fabrics on the left hand side of this photo!

which has been generously supplemented with  

yummy scraps from Fiona @ Poppy Makes

Thanks Fiona!

And some fat quarters......

I've never had any Castle Peeps!

And pretty DS FQs I won in a giveaway

@ Local Honey Crafts .

Now would you like to see where I sew?

I thought, as I had tidied up before my return to work 

tomorrow, 

you might like a little look at my sewing space!

This is in the corner of my bedroom......

And most of my stash is in those two plastic tubs 

under the desk!

Finally, I have been working on my new "Echo" quilt 

this weekend!

I hope to have more to show you soon....


What have you been up to this weekend?

Happy sewing!

Organising!

My regular 8 - 4 full time (full paying job!) 

seems to be taking over at the moment.

So all I've done is a little bit of tidying and sorting.....

And added a "To-Do" list to my side bar...

TBMQ = To be machine quilted

My pile of quilts ready, almost, to machine quilt!

TBHQ = To be hand quilted

TBJ = To be joined


TBM = To be made

And while there's not much sewing being done,


There's lots of inspiration....

In this fabulous new (to me!) book!

And THIS is on top of my list!

I love the look of this organiser-


(I do, indeed, like to be organised!)


And what about the red and aqua?

And what's not to like about this.....


A fabulous striped tote, a French baguette, cute red shoes and a bike!

Makes me happy just looking at this!


Happy days!

I love storage!

What is it about storage items?

I love them!

And Ikea is one place where I always see something I love.

Today I couldn't resist-

I just had to buy these cute storage boxes.

There were two square cubes and a rectangle one, all in the one package for $10-

 In the prettiest greeny yellow fabric-

with white stripes and little circles, .

And neat felt tabs-

Very cute!

As with most things from Ikea, they required some assembly!

Well, if you call zipping up the bottom and pushing the base into place assembly?

I am going to have some fun sorting out my fabric and making good use of these!

I have been sewing but I'm not quite ready to show you just yet-

Next time- I promise!

Happy sewing
