Happy looking...

and time to breathe....

Its the Easter Holidays and i have at last found time to post.
I have been reading other blogs that i follow, along with looking after my kids and sorting my house and running Miss Gingers but didnt get a chance to comment or write my own. Again i promise to do better...

 Grabbing the odd quiet moment during the term i have managed to get quite a bit done to my 'hug' tapestry by Emily Peacock. A few years ago i did her 'think happy thoughts', and since then the hug and kiss had been calling me for ages and i just couldnt resist any longer. I find them just right to do when tired and want to shut of,the pattern and fabric are a good size to see and follow and they look good too!
 i think the design will look fabulous in my new home. it should be finished soon..

 Because i do have two weeks of work i have got so many plans of what i want to do. Much of it involves not leaving the house if possible! I have loads to do for my business - watch this space as the most exciting website (in my opinion) will be ready soon....but while doing that i also want to make a start on some granny squares to make a blanket for this horrid weather. The above wool all bought and ready for me to just gather the patience to teach myself. I have had the book for years!!!
I also want to make the jumper below. Lets face it the weather at the moment is so rubbish i suspect we will be needing woolly jumpers for a long time to come. If i wish very hard maybe it will be done by summer and i will only need to wear it in the evening when the hot sun has gone done and the breeze from a beach holiday has made it 'nippy'. (i suspect this will remain a fantasy - well weather wise)

 I also want to make a dress and am deciding on what pattern

Not sure which one i choose and i have some new fabrics coming , so may wait until then.
Talking of dress making did anyone watch the 'great british sewing bee'? I did and enjoyed and it has tempted me further in my love of all things 'make yourself'. It did help me too. What did everyone else think?
Happy sewing all and i am of to make a cushion for my daughter, nice and easy and get me back into the swing of things...

Fabric delight and two concerts

I will just begin by saying that my sunday big night out to see Aloe Blacc was fabbbbbuuuulous! He was amazing, much much better than i thought. If you like him - or just think he is ok - go and see him, i promise you will not be disapointed. Last night (two nights in a row!) i went to see Imelda May and she was great too. Funny enough i prefer her music but it was Aloe Blacc who wowed me. 

And now take a look at these... Some more of my fabric arrived ready to be sold. Though i may struggle to part with some.

 I will show more another time as i don't want to fabric you out (is this possible?!!) But here is a couple of close ups. (i am saving my personal favourites for later)

 My daughter loves the blue below

 Dress ordered in this fabric.

 I also have some patterns now, again this is a v small selection of what i now stock. I do like this tunic.

 And i love this skirt, not sure about the white socks though...

 I already have two orders for a skirt and dress, and will be adding them to my Etsy shop asap before my temptation to run down the road with them all streaming behind while i shout 'look look' takes over. I am seriously quite ridiculously over excited. Some stock is coming in a second delivery, which is probably a good thing, as if they had all come at once, i may have made the delivery man dance a jig with me. Is it just me or is the expression the 'fabric of life' because fabric is tip top gorgeous!
