I have never done the whole op shop thing… but visited two recently and will be back for sure. I found some sewing pattern – unused with the instructions for 20 cents each ! They are a little old but if you look past the fabric used in the diagrams and look at the style, they are definately all useable.
And then I got this little piece of vintage fabric with flowers and then these great handles – both for 50 cents !
I have really enjoyed making Mollie’s blocks from the red and aqua bee this month. At first when I saw her practice block on flickr, I thought how am I going to do it. All those exact and precise angles, and points….. and paper piecing I have not done much of. Anyway with a few hours up my sleeve yesterday I tackled it and produced a perfect block.

Full of confidence I started the second block….. so keen…. so eager. And oopps, half of it is upside down ! Bugger !

We live and learn …. unfortunately I had no extra fabric so I couldn’t make an extra ‘half’. However as I explained to mollie, all she needs to do is make another half back to front to go with my back to front half and you could never tell the difference ! The morale to the story….. check twice sew once !
Had a bit of time to whip these goodies up today – I have not had a chance to make cards in ages !!! I really enjoyed spending the time working with the bright gorgeous colours.
These are for sale in my made it store – serendipity design

Have had a few days of celebrating the finish of the book and CD ROM and hence have just been relaxing and not doing anything . Mum arrived on Sunday and as been looking after us. I got my plaster taken off today, and my leg is in boot which is believe it or not actually worse as I can’t weight bare. Have made a few greeting cards to replenish my own personal stock and had made callum an owl for his first birthday, which I forgot to photo before I gave it away.
Apart from this I made Susan the following blocks for her July month in the live laugh bee
Squares and triangle's block with applique
A log cabin inspired block
Hopefully I can get onto something productive in the next few days like my quilt for the lounge room or clothes for Miss I…. so stay tuned !
It’s as if I can see the finish line………. smell the finish line………. so close to finishing but i just need to find that last little bit of energy to get there. 5 Assessment tasks to write for the CD ROM and then I am DONE !!!!
Then I can sew everyday to my little heart is content….. just got to write these last few tasks !
Andrew and Belinda have just spent the last 5 days with us………… m is at home until thursay and mum arrives again on sunday to help look after us. Still on crutches, still in plaster and can’t do much with miss I. Better stop procrastinating and write these tasks so next post I can have plenty of sewing to show off !
