This week I have done something to my neck. Don't know if I just slept funny or what, but it has been quite sore most of the week. Doesn't really help when I have to finish off my submission for the show, but I'm sure I can suffer through the pain long enough to get it done!
So, I haven't really been that creative! Just thinking a lot about being creative. Looking through books and dreaming, and fondling new (well vintage, but new to me!) chenille that I have wanted for very long time!
Check out more creative spaces over here, hope you find more inspiration than you did here!
Bec's brownies and super charged chocolate milkshake.
Hopefully those 3 kilos are getting closer!
Like a walking cat magnet.
"The Forbidden" chenille that he's allowed to lie on.
This week I was hoping to have pics of my wonderfully organised and clean craft room to show you all, but I'm afraid it actually looks worse than last week, so we'll just move right along!
The only spare spot in the room (next to the sewing machine) has been taken up with chenille squares, about 200 altogether at the moment! Some are for a lovely pink and white queen size patchwork quilt custom order I am making, and some for chenille squares listed on ebay.
Also currently sorting out the button stash, because that's really important you know, much more important than having a tidy work space.
Other creative types over here.
O.k. So I said I would post pics of the goodies that will be heading down to Cam as winner of my giveaway, but I'll be honest, I've been having a little affair with my sewing machine today, and haven't got around to sorting all the prize stuff out yet let alone taking photos of it!
I have a little sneak peek at one item though,
And this is what has been taking all my time,
Isn't she a beauty! (even if I do say so myself!) When she is all finished she will be going to the show. Wish me luck!
You are probably not going to believe this but the winner is...
Curlypops!
She really is! I think it's only fitting that the winner be the one who inspired this little giveaway anyway. Her name was really drawn out of the hat (or chenille basket in this case!) and it wasn't rigged!
Thanks for everyones efforts to make me gain weight, I'll post pics soon as I make (and consume) the recipes people sent.
I'll post pics tomorrow of the goodies that will be heading down to Cam.
Thanks again!
Thanks to everyone who sent me their fattening recipes! The entries are now closed for the giveaway.
I will be going over the recipes this week, and sampling my favourites. As I only got about 7 entries I will just be popping them all in a hat and drawing one out. I will let you all know the winner in the next day or two.
Thanks again for helping me out! I will gain those kilos yet!
When I saw this chenille I knew I had to have a pair of lounge pants from it. It's soo yummy, pink white and grey chenille, so thick, so fluffy.
Now I look like I have put on the 3 kilos I need!
Oh, and by the way, how hard is it to take a good photo of yourself wearing pants! Thanks for the help Mr. Vintage!
pants are much nicer in real life! a photographer Mr. Vintage is not!
Mars Bar Cheesecake!
Thanks Cam for the inspiration, it was so delicious! Got the recipe from here, give it a go, you won't regret it! (well, your hips might, but you won't!)
I have only received a few entries for my competition, so I will extend the deadline for entry until Monday night (Australian time) so get sending me your recipes!
I found this very cool hessian coffee sack the other day at the local oppy and just couldn't leave it behind!
I really love it, but have no idea what to do with it! I would love to hear some suggestions, please let me know what you all think.
