Finally getting busy!

Yes, I'm finally getting busy sewing again...Slowly though! My hubby's aunt from Scotland wanted a couple of bags sent over along with some of my ballet slippers, so she has the choice of these bags. Drawstring, quilted ones as I just love them at the moment!
I've just received the butterflys in pink so I'll be making myself another bag with that lovely fabric soon...


I just love this pears print from Alexander Henry.


And Joyce is madly into cupcakes, so I thought she'd love this one above!



I've also been busy making a few more raggy runners. They're selling really well at the moment, and I can't get them made quick enough! Another one (Pretty pinks!) is in the wash now getting ready for Ebay tonight.



Mary from Sew Hot Mitmot received her parcel I sent her as part of the Polka dot swap. Here is a photo of what I included... A quilted patchwork drawstring bag, a quilted doorstop, a handbag notebook, a bookmark, and some sweet polkadot fabrics. She has posted pic's of the doorstop in use so that was lovely to see!
Best wishes,
Jenelle

Lovely Blog Award...

It was just lovely to be tagged with this award from Antique Rose Designs. It's nice to know that others think that my blog is lovely...




So now I have to pass this award on to another 10 lovely blogs...













Here are the rules of this award :


1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.


2. Pass the award to 10 other blogs that you have newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.




I finally sent off my swap parcel last week for the Polkadot Swap, to Mary from Sew Hot Mitmot. Hopefully she loves all her goodies...


I've had a few custom orders to complete... A bright & colourful raggy cot quilt and cushion, and a few more Raggy Runners...





The kids have just returned to school today after two weeks holidays. We managed to get a few things in before Breanna got sick with a virus which turned into an awful ear infection which burst her ear drum as the fluid build up was huge. She spent the remainder of the holidays with cotton wool in her ear, and resting. Luckily she's all better now in time for school.


I'm currently working on another Name cushion for Oz Handmade...


Well until next time...


Best wishes,

Jenelle

Spoilt again!

I recently joined another swap - this on was a Polka Dot Swap! And who doesn't love Polka dots...
My partner was Mary from Sew Hot Mitmot. Look at the amazing things she sent me!


Everything was wrapped in georgous Polkadot wrapping paper...

A polka dot Marks & Spencer mug, Cath Kidston tissues & a red wrist band...



And a Kath Kidston zipper purse - Love this!



A button heart...



A notebook cover with a sweet little bird - Mary must have known how much I love birds...




Some vintage english polkadots, and some swedish polka dots...



An adorable fabric bucket - just love this fabric!



A Kath Kidston carry bag in polka dots of course!




And probably my new favourite fabrics - georgous English Polka dots. I was eyeing this off on Mary's blog post recently - Yay, I got some!



Kath Kidston Stars and polkadots...



Look at all my loot! I'm such a lucky girl! Now I'm just hoping Mary loves my parcel just as much...



Ooooh, the coffee was great in my new mug! I think Mary is my new Best Friend!
Best wishes,
Jenelle
