Soap!

Hi all.

Well I have nearly finished my mammys quilt (below) I just have the quitling and then the binding to do and that is me finito!

To go with her quilt i've made her a bar of Raspberry soap which has just over a week left of curing then I can have it wrapped up and looking purty. (pics will follow then)

Seing as I have another Saturday off I decided to make another batch of coconut soap. There is something about the smell of coconut that I just love! So my house now smells like a bottle of Malibu!!!! Again pictures will follow once I take them out of the molds tomorow night.

On surfing for new fragrance mixes to try. I just don't have enough time in my day to try everything! Does any one else have that problem???

Mammys Quilt Topper

Here we have it, My first quilt topper. I enrolled online on Jenny Doans Quilting Quickly as my local quilting class had a year and a half waiting list! After watching her online classes I scoured the internet looking for fabric and i fell in love with Moda Fabrics Strawberry Field. So far I have created the topper, i am waiting on the release of the matching fabric (the topper was made with the pre cuts) so i can have the backing and borders done. I am making this for my mums birthday which is the 3rd week in July so hopefuly i can get it finished soon so i dont have to worry about it anymore lol.

Heres the topper so far

Summer Dress

Hi all, heres my latest addition to my wardrobe. This beautiful Vogue summer dress. I am off to Inverness for a week in July for our summer holiday and my mums birthday is during the week we are away so no doubt we will be out for dinner, so now i have the perfect dress.

Not the best picture, i know, i will get my dear partner to take some proper pictures out in the sunshine. Although you all get to see my "new" dress making dummy. My aunty brought that all the way up from Dover on a plane- in her hand lugage!!! how they let her on the plane i don't know, its older than my mammy. Its got an old wire frame for the body that you have to mold to your body then hang it on the dummys sholders.

My next project is one of Amy Butlers Liverpool shirt, again for the holiday lol. So far i have cut out all the pattern pieces and i have sewn the darts. I have hurt my back so hopefully sitting at my machine wont be too painful to finish it off.

Speak soon
