In my creative space this week we have,New fabrics I'm fondlingChenille and cutter quilt pieces I am putting together to make a bunny for my cousins new baby girl just born yesterday ( yay!! love your work D!)Mushie and gnome kit from Jodie that I hope to get started this afternoonAnd my cute little notebook ordered through work with my lists of all the things I have to get done!
The only thing that has to get done today is grocery shopping, so after that I plan on not thinking about the two custom quilt orders, the custom tissue box holder order, or the housework, and just put my feet up and stitch.
For more creative inspiration head over to Kirsty's.
Seriously, if you haven't been over to Jodie's blog, you need to get over there right now!
No, stop reading, go there now, but then, please come back!
See, great isn't she! I have been following Jodie's blog for quite some time. She is the reason I am addicted to chenille, so when she had some new goodies on offer in her etsy shop, I couldn't resist. While I looove her little dolls, I don't have anyone to make them for. Miss 11 is "too old for dolls" so I snapped up her little Mushie and Gnome kit. Can't wait to get started, looks sooo cute! And I don't know how Jodie thinks she is going to make any money when she gives stuff away, but I am very grateful for the very cute cards she gifted me.
Love you Jodie!
Comfort.
Snuggles on cold nights.
Blankets, pillows, warm electric blanket.
Night time rituals from an adoring little girl.
For those that know me outside of blogland know, I have dealt with some pretty big things in my long 33 years on this planet.
These little things make it all worthwhile.
Thank you Pip for this meme.
Meet Esmerelda.
I think she is my favourite chenille bunny ever!
Maybe I will enter her in the show.
Do you think she has supermodel qualities? Would it all go to her head?
A couple of days ago I blogged about the lovely order I recieved from Sophie at Sophie Isobel designs. Well, today she is having a giveaway! Go and check out her blog for an entry into the draw! Go on, hurry!
I think if I won, I would have to get a " i heart chenille" brooch. In fact, maybe I should just order one anyway!
I've just updated my shop and added a few new items to it. Including a cushion cover made from my crazy log cabin blocks.
Yes that's right, you heard me Mum, stop reading now. You can read it after I see you next.
I mean it!Okay, for those of you who aren't my mother, please do continue. The other day I requested a custom order from the delightful Sophie, of Sophie Isobel designs on etsy. I asked her if she would make me a brooch for my horse mad Miss 11. And Sophie said she would love to! Now, after I clicked on the add to cart button, I spotted the perfect brooch for my book mad Mother already there in Sophie's shop!
So today they both arrived, and I am so happy! Sophie certainly goes to a lot of trouble in her packaging. I even took photos of the package, it was so pretty!
See how nice it is!
I must apologise for the washed out photo, they are much prettier in real life.
Thank you Sophie, I love them!
Oh, and check out her blog too!
This week I'm putting my own creative spin on my creative space.
The last few days have been filled with finding creative ways to get one very stubborn 13 year old purebred Staffy to eat 2 tablets twice a day. No mean feat, let me tell you!
The old girl has cancer. She should be able to live quite fine with this, according to her vet, for the rest of her days. She did however have one large tumour that needed to be removed. The vet wasn't sure if she would make it through the surgery, but thought she deserved the chance. And in true Rock Star fashion, she came through with flying colours!
I have been playing around with photos of her, I guess that's also creative?!
Here she is. My little China Girl.
For much more creative spaces than my own, head over to Kirsty's and see who else is playing along.
Just listed my "Home on the Range" quilt in my etsy store.
