Wordless Wednesday

Holidays are coming ......

The rumour in my house is that the coke cola add has been seen, so as far as Em is concerned Christmas is on its way. This is one of the reasons l have changed my blog background to a Christmas theme and l hope this will spur me get on with my orders!!!!!

l have just been round our local charity shops and have found only 2 wool jumpers which can now be felted and made into? Well that's the problem my inspiration is fading. l have made the following brooches the one on the left is made for my DH Christmas jumper last year which l managed to part felt on the 3rd wash, so l do have some ideas but it depends on how big the felt becomes. It now going round at 90 while the family is out, what they don't know about won't kill them except when the electricity bill comes in.

Yummy Cakes

As most of you may have read l'm supposed to be on weight watchers - more like food watching and not weighing is how its going at the moment. So l thought l would share these yummy cupcakes before they go off to there new homes.These are the type of cakes l should be handling.

Couldn't you just eat them all up. Some will be having sequin sprinkles on and ribbon to hang up with.

l just love muted colours and these are my cup of tea - l want to keep them all!!

Back with a Vengance

Schools back today and its the run down to the C word here at ShabbyChic.

These are todays work Door Stops in Orla Kiely fabric- which is like hens teeth to find and when you do its top price but ha ho(Christmas reference).If anyone know where to buy it at a reasonable price then pleeeeeese let me know.

Then in the back ground l have some pin cushion jars on the go.

l think my crafting mojo is back - the fabrics help as they inspire me to sew.

In between all this sewing l'm tiling the kitchen floor so my back is killing me from bending over and knees hurt too.

Next stop the kitchen for a coffee and then into the craft room music on courtesy of Russ Winstanley - Northern Soul and l'm in heaven.

Fabric explanation

As l have been having slight blog block the last week or so the idea of wordless Wednesday really appealed. Just post a picture that says it all for you and so the picture l posted shows the fabric l have been working with over the last few days. It is Robert Kaufman and called Metro Chicken. l have made this fabric in a Brood of Chicken Door stops - l even went as far as giving them names - l do need to get out more. l'll let you know what the feedback is on this if they sell in their new home.
Speak to all soon promise.
