Fabric Book

Hi everyone,    Thanks for taking the time to come over and have a look... I really appreciate you visits and comments x


Well !!! Ive been sewing again, and I'm really enjoying it, taking time out from paper crafting, but I shall be back hee hee hee...

One of my friends jaqi, had seen a picture of a Fabric book, and thought about giving  it a go, I must admit, when she showed me the picture, I was stunned, they were gorgeous, so I had to make one ...lol  

I really enjoyed making it, i used Calico, and lace with ribbon, and having found some of my late Mothers old costume jewellery I decided to use some for the book... 
A lot of people will think it's messy with all the threads , but thats the way I wanted it, I'm not a neat person ha ha ha , Just ask my hubby hee hee hee .... 

I'm entering my book into the following challenges ;

My Toys

Evening everyone, 

I've not blogged for ages, my mojo for paper crafting has gone on it's holls I think lol...

My son was going to send  my baby Granddaughters first size clothes off to someone to make them into a teddy, as a keepsake,  well!!!!!!! I could nt believe my ears, and very nicely told him I would make one for her... 
I would nt mind, but he was always complaining about pins been dropped on the floor, when he was younger, his second home was a local fabric shop hee hee hee, so  you can imagine my surprise when he told me, he was sending a stranger his daughters clothes, so she could make a teddy lol...... 

I enjoyed  sewing again, and have been making small teddies, and have just finished my first rocking horse..
I used  an off cut for the rocking horse, just to see what it was like.....

What do you think????

The Teddy is for the baby, and the rag doll is for her big sister..
