sewing and feels a bit like spring over here...

I am back in my little shed these days...half term was great..no rain and a couple of family days out as well as time at home to unwind and relax...OK...who am I kidding it was tricky with screen bans and niggles and boys who seem to be permanently embarrassed by their Mum..but mostly it was lovely :)

my head is a bit all over the place at the moment...too many things I want to do and new things I want to try but I figured I had to focus on a few new things for the shop...so I dug deep in my stash and made some pillow covers...

 

nice and bright and spring like :)

 

I even managed another one of these...

more of that another time :) 

I have my giveaway all planned and ready to go so pop back soon for details

Have a lovely week x x x x x

My Entire Makeup Collection!

As requested by many, I have taken pictures and organized my entire makeup collection. My purpose of this post is that now that you know what I own right now, if you want a review on any of the products then I'd be happy to do so! Some products are relatively old while some are brand new. This is also a way to show my true passion and interest in cosmetics! Nail polish collection and brush collection coming soon :). Enjoy!

My entire collection organization using Muji acrylic drawers and Target 3-drawers (eye shadow palettes not included)

colour crush quilt...

 

it's half term again...last month came and went in a blur...and I needed something to distract me...so I delved into my fabric stash and got to work...

 

using my all time faves (it took some deep breaths to chop in to some of them) I started on another quilt...

triangles this time...and a few neon's...I have loved making this :) I didn't really know what I was doing and there were moments of despair...like when I realised I had sewn them into hexagons instead of stripes...but I grabbed the unpicker and started again...

there have been some very late nights and I took it everywhere to make sure I could finish it....

using my favourite bobbly  60's sheet for the back..

and made a border in a pretty floral.. neon triangles and vintage patterns together are my favourite :)

yesterday when the sun was shining...it almost felt like spring and I sat outside my little shed and did the final hand stitching...

I'm so happy with how it turned out...
I am still sorting out the fabrics and keep adding them to my shop whenever I can ...there is a little sale on at the moment too...
hope you are having a lovely week x x x x x
