Fantastic Weekend

well that was an adventure lol, Jo and i had a great weekend camping in a park in the middle of nottingham surrounded by a fair and thousands of screaming kids lol
imagine the picture ...a huge slide on one side ,a football penalty game on the other, jo and i in a little tent in the middle in bed with thousands of screaming kids having fun all around and if you cant get out to go home what do you do? you just take the barriers down lol
yes we were at the Riverside festival in nottingham, it was great fun but very tiring with trading up until 11pm friday and saturday and then 6pm sunday, forgot to take pictures of the campsite but i do have one of the stall before trading on sunday


we met lovely people again, Toniann who was on the toy stall next to us and very helpful.

Stars n Stripes

Here are some of my latest offerings, stars n stripes cushions and bunting, realy lovely to make and i freyed the edges, which made a lot of mess lol but i love the effect and think it fits in prefectly with the fabrics

I'm back......

It was great to be away and not sewing or anything, although i did take a bit of cross stitch with me and managed only a little bit of it, we were out and about too much for me to get much stitching time in.
but it was back to it on our return, i was surposed to be quilting two single bed quilts for an order, they are half done but instead i just couldn't resist and i have been playing with flowers and produced a lovely bunch and to go along with these there are some single hanging flowers and string hanging flowers, always guaranteed to be in bloom!


also new to our collection are these gorgeous, good enough to eat cupcakes, money box/cupcakes and trinket cupcakes

and look at these gorgeous icecream, bowls, i just need some icecream to try them out lol


well back to my quilting i surpose, then we shall see whats next...........
