Been Doing some Mad Sewing!!!

 

 

So Got back into a bit more Sewing, I wanted to make a few special Gifts,  as Im off to Melbourne for a visit and catch up with friends! 

 

 This is a Dresden Plate which I then machine quilted myself, something Im still learning to perfect!! I love how this is bright and funky. The mat should look great on a dining table.

 

 

 

 

I also have Got into making Zipper pouches, heres a quick snapshot !

Loving these Quilted Pouches at the moment, I cant stop making them!, they have so many uses and who doesn't love Pretty Fabric Right??

 

 

These ones I have made flat bottoms so they stand upright!

 

Will Share some creations soon

Take care

In our Hearts forever

Not a day goes by, without a thought about my Baby Girl Princess. Sadly we lost her just before her 5th birthday, Furkids have a special place In your heart, never forgotten and always missed.

 

I was inspired for this page by a tutorial from Georgia Heald, She is a great scrapbooker, I love her style. This page I really enjoyed making.

Now Settled In Darwin

Hey Everyone, So We made the move to Darwin... Yes a Big Change, BUT! life is one big adventure. :) With my husbands Job we get to Move around a bit and see Australia, On the downside we miss our Family so much and the special friends we make along the way.

I Hope for Good things this year, My Scrappy Mojo has Returned!!!, will share some pictures soon.

The past year I have been doing Quilting and have thoroughly enjoyed this, so now I have to incorporate my love for both hobbies and continue to devote time to both equally.

So the Big adjustment to Darwin is the Weather, I pray for RAIN most days!! and do lovely happy dances when this occurs. I have started meeting people and making a few friends along the way, biggest achievement was finding Scrap matrix. The Owner Vicki is lovely and we became friends straight away. And ive made more friends attending crafty days there, isnt the Scrappin Community just great? Be sure to checkout they have a lovely online store too.

My Pets are settling in now too, Middy Moo (the Cat) and Brutus (the Pug).... Love my Fur children so much. And its been amazing having a beautiful park to stroll around with brutus in the evenings, and the best bit its right across the rd.

So Will update New posts, on all things crafty on what ive been up too these days! :)

Our Park across the Rd

This is our New Pad for the next few years!!, we also drove from Melbourne, it was quite an adventure.



Much love Carly xxx
