The Little Things

Sometimes the little things
can put a smile on your face...
a favourite mug on a beautiful mug mat
made by a talented friend..

Time spent embroidering an envelope
 to wish a teacher all the best on their new adventure...

A quick little sew to get 2 rows of a quilt together
when you didn't even have this quilt in mind...

A reminder of something fun you made years ago...

LOTS of little apple key rings
for the children's teachers....

Deconstructing pink shirts for patchworking....

Hours spent in playgrounds because a certain little girl
was just having so much fun...

Putting another 3 rows on the quilt...
(just some more sashing and borders to go!)

And Mummy's little helper...

Who definitely puts a smile on my face!
(well most of the time! ;o) )

Going AWOL

I don't mean to keep forgetting about my poor blog,
but I am always so easily distracted..

I saw these embroidered hearts on the internet
and just got hooked making them...
I love sending a Christmas decoration with my cards
to friends in faraway places -
so I have a bit of a head start here LOL


Then dolly needed a dress to match Miss Kalico...


With matching buttons on the back...
She even has shorts to match, 
but that photo is on my tablet.

And while I still had some of the 'matching' fabric left...
Miss Kalico got a new sunhat...
So I am not sitting idly resting my leg...
I'm actually too busy to blog ;o)
