All about cushions....

Mooloolaba Cushion in Marina

Bundaberg Cushion in Marina

A busy weekend sewing cushions, these stunning colours are sooooo summery and beachy I just love them.

There are 3 colourways in these designs, guava (pinks/purples) and mandarin (orange/sand), this is my fav colourway the marina.

All 3 colourways are available in my store now as cushions ready made, or by the metre. I shall also be adding my new quick cushion kits which will be available in store at the weekend.

Happy sewing!!

Is it Christmas yet!!

I know im sad, but im the person in the shop on Christmas Eve with my list in my hand, my hair a mess wondering where all the good stuff has gone!!

SO this year, after chasing my tail for the past 6 months, I am proud to say I am actually AHEAD of myself for a change. It doesnt happen often, in fact it has never really happened. Oh hang on -I can hear you thinking, " shes 8 1/2 months late for Christmas".

In fact the reality of it all is that there are about 14 weeks until Santa appears out of the Air Con Unit!! (down the chimney for others in cooler climates).

I have this fabulous range of Christmas fabrics ~ Sherri Berry Holiday - they are just so cute and the colours are so pretty. Something a little different from the usual i feel. I have 5 designs at present in stock and will be adding a bundle in the next couple of days to the store.

So for now ~ let it snow - let it snow - let it snow. and Merry Chirstmas - just in case i forget nearer the time.

Add your littlies name to the bunting, for that personal touch.

Id love to share some pictures with you from the lovely Jenny at Festoon Bunting.
She has the patience to make the most gorgeous bunting flags for all occasions, parties, weddings, boys bunting or girly bunting, or just simply to decorate around the pool side.

Jenny also offers to personalise your bunting for that special occasion or gift, which is an absolutely great idea.

Intermission

Phew that was another busy week.

Does anyone remember this test card from the olden days of TV, we had it in the UK when there wasnt anything to watch, I think it dates back to the late 1960s, ooh how time flies.

Anyway, my on line store is having an over haul so to speak and we plan to be off line for a short while, we'll have an intermission. hense the test card.

I shall keep blogging and hopefully all will come good When September Comes - so until then, I shall keep you posted.

I think i always wanted to be that little girl!!

Bye for now

Marimekko lamp cover ~ a creative weekend

Well, apart from being a seriously busy weekend, a short BBQ event, a night out to see Hale and Pace at Twin Towns, where i almost split my sides with laughter, i have had time to cover my old lamp with some Mini Marimekko in the stunning blue/white colourway.

I must say im really pleaseed with the result. We had deocorated a while back and as usual I never get round to finishing what I start. So for some reason, this weekend was the one.

It was so easy to do and didnt take more than about 45 mins from beginning to end. Well had to pop to Bunnings of course to get some PVA glue, as the kiddies had some how used all the previous 2 litre bottle I was secretly hiding for a rainy day.

I cut and measured and rolled the drum over the fabric and glued on the inside flap and hey, a new lap. Quite pleased with it I must say.

All I need now is a canvas and some cushions to match and a new sofa, and nice new shiney rug and..............................................................................................

Have a fabulous creative week.
