Fabric and Food on a friday night ....

Made myself a bottle of

homemade 

Vanilla Essence 

a few weeks ago..

it has been fermenting nicely, till tonight,  I used it for the first time..

Vanilla Cuppy-cakes were on the menu

but I didn't have any patty pans left so I used muffin papers...

They worked out fine!!

Topped with yummy vanilla buttercream

and edible glitter!!!

Mmmmm-mm!  

they were yummy!

(and the essence was perfect!)

Lots of sox nearly done,

Christmas Candy

and 

How the Grinch Stole Christmas 

this is only half of what I have been working on in the last week or so!!

(busy, busy, busy!!)

And I wanted to show you my gorgeous Robyn Pandolph fabrics that I got last week,

Scarborough Fair on top (Pastels)

and  

Boxwood House on the bottom (deeper colours)

Aren't they just beautiful :)!

(and if you would like the recipe for the vanilla essence let me know!!)

Hugs,

More Hunny Bums, (in action!)

A few more Hunny Bums to show you,

modelled very sweetly by my grandaughter 'the Princess'

'Sunshine Sorbet'

'Lilac Ballet'

'Fruit Cocktail'

'Papillon'

'Peppermint Tea'

'Pink Peonies'

'Summer Roses'

At the moment I am just selling them to friends and acquaintances,

Not sure if I should put them on etsy,

Oh well, guess I will wait and see.

Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Sneaky peeky!!

Just a little sneak peek of what I have been working on 

in the wee small hours of the morning, 

after I knock off from sewing Jingle Sox all day..

What do you think??

oooh la-la!!

Will have loads more colours and styles to show you soon, 

(with much better photos!!!)

Back soon with more!
Hugs,

Lots going on...

Please excuse my absence, there is lots of cutting and sewing going on here in the studio!!

I will have more finished work to show you soon, 

but until then, how do you like the red fur?!

Here I used gorgeous Michael Miller Damasks....

In Red and White and for the heel/toe/cuff I used the White on White...

(so pretty!!)

Hugs!

Kate Spain 'Flurry' Sox ...

 I really love this 'Flurry'  range of fabrics by Kate Spain

for Moda

The are just stunning in person!

and as with all Kate's fabric they have such a beautiful soft hand..

These Jingle Sox are all in stock and for sale in my Etsy shop!

Aren't they stunning!!

Also, this Be Merry Jingle Sack is on it's way to a lovely customer :)!

This is the last one I will get out of this fabric, 

such a shame it is discontinued!!

Hugs,

my gorgeous grandbugs..

Just a few recent photos I took of my beautiful grandchildren....

The Bug

(2 years old)

(don't be fooled by the angelic look on his face, he was actually throwing a tanty at the time :)!)

The Hunny Bunny is going through a bit of a 'don't take my photo' stage..  

...have to snap them when I can!!

(1 year old)

The princess loves having her photo taken!

(6 months old)

Hugs,
