just a quickie..

Finished another blankie, this morning

It's wrapped, ribboned and ready to be delivered!
Received a little parcel of teddies, so I can make more of these!

Got a real chuckle out of one of the flickr girls, she saw the thumbnail of them and thought they were maggots :o)! She was so right, if you squint you can see it (eeewww!!)
Angel brought the kids over for a visit yesterday, and while she was here Danneeka and Jon popped in, so I snapped this of Deekie and the bug...

and of course a new photo of the Bunny...

Oh well, enough playing, it's back to work for me!

Hugs, Jen xo

Monday madness ...and absolute Joy ! (very long post!)

Hello my lovelies!!

Hope you are all well and had a wonderful weekend!

Things here have been busy as always!
I can't believe that another weekend has come and gone...

sometimes I feel like one day just slips into the next!

Do you ever feel like that :o)!

I spent alot of time working on the weekend, lots of orders, which is good!!

I finished this Double Minky blankie for a sweet customer called Erica. It's for her little girl Ava who is just adorable!

Erica and her family live here in Perth so hubby delivered it for me on Saturday, she is thrilled with it!

Here is a photo I snaffled of Ava from her mama's facebook page. ..cheeky I am :o)!

Ooooohhh!!!! isn't she gorgeous!!!!

Amy is the designer and owner of Giggleberry Creations,

She is amazing and is definately the " Queen of Bunting " .

She makes everything prettier with her stylish flowing flags, I love them!!

Amy is doing her first fair soon so I have done some embroidery for her and made some aprons,

but look at this amazing bunting!!

(I made that little embroidery... just thought I would throw that in amongst all the amazingness of Amy :o)!)

So if you know of anyone who wants their logo embroidered, let me know,

and if they want bunting to show it off with - make sure you give Amy a holler!

Minkies for Hunny

Just wanted to share a couple of photos of some blankies that I made for Hunny on Sunday evening.

This lovely embroidery design was graciously sent to me by Marisa Bordados.

Marisa is a fellow flickr member from Brasil.

I admired her embroidery and she told me to send her my email address and she would send me some of her patterns.

Wasn't that so kind !

I made a few smaller blankies, and then two double sided minkies,

as the weather here in Perth is very chilly!

Peach with a Heather Bailey cabbage rose.

These blankets were so easy and quick to knock up.

I am not a huge fan of sewing minky because the stretch in it can be a pain, and if you are fussy (like me!) you have to spend lots of time with extra pinning to make sure you get a lovely even hem..

But my new Bernina Walking Foot made it such a breeze!

I asked Mr Deekie Belle to get this for me for our anniversary.

Not very romantic I know, but I totally love it!!

I will never shy away from pile with stretch again :o) !

Hope you all had a great weekend !

back soon with more!

Hugs, Jen xo
