Happy Mothers Day

Just wanted to wish all the lovely Mummies out there a happy Mothers day!

This week we had a mothers day stall at school and Mum an I made some button bookmarks,earings etc. When Mum packaged the bookmarks she even put MY blog address on the bottom of them. So I'm hoping to get some very happy mothers looking at my blog!

Journal Cover Received

I completely forgot to show you the journal I received from Tink in the Little Stitches Journal cover swap back at the end of March.

Isn't it gorgeous? She even stitched my name with a fancy 'L' just the way I write it. 

I love it. Thankyou so so so much Tink!

Journal cover swap

I meant to put this post on ages ago.....but I forgot all about it so i'm putting it on now.

Remember how I told you about the journal swap I was in? Well, here are the photos of the journal I made. The journal cover I made was a for a girl who gets called angel so I did a stitchery of an angel and wrote her nickname on the front. I used watercolour pencils to colour the stitchery and they worked really well. The stitchery pattern is called "Angel Trio" by "Up in Annie's room".

Birthday swap

Chooky Blue recently started up a swap for a small group of girls around my age that like luv to sew and I was lucky enough to be a part of that group. We're doing a fat Quarter birthday swap and have just finished a journal cover swap the picture below is of the bithday gift I sent Miss Z. Her favourite colours are purple and yellow so when I saw that fabric I had to get it for her. I think it's absolutely gorgeous and will have to get some for myself.

Yr 5 HSIE project

In HSIE at the moment we are learning about rainforests and we had to do a project on an Aussie rainforest. I chose the Daintree and I was so happy with how it turned out I just had to share it with you. We got the project on monday last week and it's not due until the 22nd , I took mine in today! YAY me.
I have to say a big thanks to Mum for helping me with the planning........I love you.

Hope I get some more sewing done so I can put that on. Haven't had much time over the last little bit.
Ohhh and mum and I are going to the Craft Expo tomorrow. Can't wait... but I guess I'll have to it's only one more sleep.

Until next time

YAY!!!!!

Yay.........I finally got my quilt back from the quilters and It looks SO cute! I decided to use the left-over fabric from the jelly roll to make a patchwork bind. I have already machine stitched the bind on this morning and now all I have to do is hand stitch the bind in place on the back....that could take me a while!

Unfortunatly I didn't make them both the bottom one is mums and the top one is mine.

Buttons, buttons and more buttons

I love buttons they are gorgeous (especially when they are covered in your fave fabric). Just lately Mum and I have started covering buttons to make fridge magnets, earings and rings. Mum bought the equipment on Etsy and we got it in a couple of days. The day after our supplies arrived, Nic (the lady from Luv'n'hugs) and her daughter miss G came over for a visit. So miss G and I made heaps of things with the buttons. most of them are in the the photos but three or four aren't as I gave them to Miss G to take home and forgot to take pics of them.

Oh I almost forgot on the thirteenth and fourteenth of March Mum and I are going to the Craft Expo in Sydney........I can't wait.
