8 stuffed trees. 4 more to go!!


here's a pic of the magazine i like, in case anyone fancies checking it out!

new magazine

picked up a copy of a UK sewing publication called sew hip in borders. its fab!! loads of easy fun projects and links to shops, as well as fab articles. it linked me to morsbags, a site for people who make reusable shopping bags to give out to the public!

sweet spuds RAK

*(sorry the pic is dark, it gets dark so early now!) i picked up this lovely box of goodies from the post office today. im not sure about the tinkering ink Finery but love the jenni bowlin rub ons and the scenic route chipboard book.

*i ended up not waking until 11am today! i was exausted from 3 really busy 12 hour shifts. i was a little annoyed as i had a few things i wanted to do but obviously needed it!

*i still managed to crank out a couple of layouts with novembers sweet spuds kit.

heres violet!

the final pics are here at last:





ive just finished 3 busy busy days at work. so busy i got up at 11 am today! i plan to do some scrapping and sewing and should hopefully have some pics later.

the illustrated girl

i adore this print by emily martin, available here.

also love this scarf for two print.

i wanted to be crafty tomorrow but instead am doing an overtime shift at work.

i dreamt about the elusive PD marigold last night. elusive because she will be far too expensive for anyone outside of japan!

prima dolly marigold

isnt she a cutie? but apparently you can only reserve her if you are part of some members club. and you can only be in that if you are in japan. not fair!!

yuk

last night at work was horrendous. it was a conveyor belt of things going wrong. a night from hell.
