Thanks Mods.
How exciting... I'll start!!!
Well after lots of procrastinating I finally finished my new cousins wall hanging. I'm pretty happy with how it looks apart from the lettering being a little crooked.

It looks so nice & colourful, well done!!

Yep looks great!

I have a few projects on the go at the moment - I really need to spend a whole day just sewing to get them done.

This is my latest (and very first) item, a very cute handbag



I am also making this nap mat for a friends daughter, I am just finishing off the last of the velcro to do it all up and then I will post a picture of the finished thing. The fabric I used is a bit different.


I am also doing up 12 of these burp clothes for friends who are about to give birth...just something cute and simple. I have a couple of different 'baby' themed fabric and matching ribbons.



And I also have an apron/matching oven glove pattern and cute cupcake material which is washed and waiting to be made!
Rach I just had a look at your blog too...great work, that bed linen is devine!

Wow girls, your stuff is so well made. I get half way through something & then I get bored or annoyed with it. But I am trying my best to get better. Might have to take pics of what I have made later.

Ok, here is some scrap booking I did years ago.







This is a bag I made with a sewing for dummies pattern . It's a easy pattern though. It's a bit used
cause I frequently use it & I have stuck my badges on it, 2 from foo fighters concert & 1 from Andy Warhol

Your all so crafty Im to lazy to do anything like that. But I wish could still sew, I used to be alright at it when I was younger.

I make jewellery and trinkets out of polymer clay. My aunty suggested doing a 'play with clay' afternoon after seeing some of the stuff I made so next weekend I'll have about 10 people (friends and family) who I'll be teaching to cover barrettes and make penguin phone charms. I can't wait

I'm still working out the business side of things but I'd love to teach more people and sell the things I make. I have a few things listed on etsy but it's a tough market.

DH decided he wanted the trial penguin for his computer desk:
