Beautiful books for crafters

Hi all :)

I bought some beautiful craft books from Amazon the other day that I'd like to share with you,

They look really nice and some easy to do projects... just what I like lol :)

The first book is love to sew by Christa Rolf and has some fun and wonderful projects

Like this Love pillow and many more cute things in patchwork

Book two is

Snug as a bug by from melly and me,

and has cute things for babies and toddlers that crafters can make

like

this lovely comfort blanket with a cute bug in the corner :))

Book Three is Half  yard Heaven by Debbie Shore

and is an ideal book for ideas on using up some fabrics to make small projects

The owls and cats look lovely :)

there are lots of projects in these books and I think I'm going to be very busy.

LOL

happy crafting!

My New Sizzix

Hello All :)) 

I have bought a sizzix, it looks great and will be a real asset when I get back to doing my quilting again, with the sizzix you can cut card shapes as well as felt and fabrics for stuffed toy making.

you have to buy what they call "dies", they are basically templates with sharp blades in, you lay your fabric or card on the die and cover it with a hard piece of plastic and then thread it through the machine, rollers on the machine push up the blades and it cuts your fabric or card to that shape, very ingenious and very handy for cutting exact sizes when quilting :))) cant wait to give it a go.

I've bought 3 dies to start with...has anyone else got a sizzix? and what have you made with yours.

Framed at last

Happy hump day to all :))) here we are again another week nearly done and a new month!

OCTOBER already! soon be xmas hahaha OMG I don't know where this year has gone and I don't remember seeing much of summer lol

Well, at last I got round to getting my Summer and Winter cats framed...Summer cat has only been waiting a year lol but they're done now and they did a lovely job at the framers. I did my best at taking photos of them but is impossible to get a clear photo of them without the glass glare and reflections, sorry about that, hope you like them :))

Happy Stitching :)
