My box full of magic...

Wow....Its been a while hasn't it? Well I guess a few days anyway... I've been pretty busy with work and the children so haven't had a chance to post anything.

I was sorting through some fabrics and all my stash and thought I'd show you my beloved craft box, its full of paints, ribbons, paper stock, ooh so much I just love it! My pal Sally over at Knit Sally Knit bought a king size duvet set at a charity shop last week, so I was busy cutting that up yesterday, its has a patchwork effect so I cut up all the different squares so I can actually make them into a patchwork item, you can see them in my craft box below, they are floral with a green and white spot background and stripes;




On Monday, I took delivery of the woven ribbons I ordered.  I found them slightly cheaper on Holland Fabric House, they have allsorts of haberdashery and fabrics, check it out!



I could probably do with sorting out my craft box, putting things into storage boxes etc.....watch this space the next time you see my box of magic, it WILL be tidy!!! TTFN ~x~

Blogs are what we make them ....

So I've been checking out various blogs, some of my favourites too and decided that I wasn't completely happy with mine....I know, I know I've only been doing this for a few days, but I wasn't too sure on the layout.....I love my header (thanks Sarah ~x~).

Anyway, I've made a few changes and so far so good, let me know what you think.....

I have yet another bag of unwanted clothes to take to the charity shop but something made me look through the bag again and I was slapped with so many ideas for the fabrics from the clothes and even some old jumpers, so I have begun the task of cutting the pieces into more manageable sizes, chopped off the buttons and they have been stowed away for other projects.

I hope to have some photos up at the weekend of what I've been working on, so check back soon!  TTFN ~x~
