Handmade Monday No. 111

Well it has been cold this week, not much in the snow department for us which is good but do not like this ice. Thank goodness work from home, see the neighbours cars driving out the road carefully and several that have slid not to mention people walking.

Been a busy week but do not seem to have a lot to show for it, waiting for some lace trim to finish a baby top but have finished:

Another reading pillow

With the remnants party bags

and a wrist key fob

Love to make but the photographs, loading onto the website etc is so boring.

Until next week

Animals in Flowers new collection launch

Finally got there had to wait for silk organza sheets from the US, got impatient and ordered (more expensive) from a UK source only to be told after the order was placed that they were doing a stock take and would dispatch asap! However they arrived and I was able to complete my first new collection of 2018.

Clutch Bags

Gift Cards

Key Fobs

Decorative Hoops

I am happy with how everything turned out and just love these watercolour images.

Joined a challenge on a FB group for Valentines Day. Wanted to do something slightly different and thought these kitty and dawgie mug rugs were perfect. They are also not just for Valentines Day.

Now onto the next collection again just a teaser for you

Too Hot!!!!!

I know us Brits are never happier than moaning about the weather, too cold or as in the case of the last week too hot. Reached the heady heights of 34 on our patio and the house was not much better. Windows flung open from early morning and all night. No relief and sleep was hard to succumb to. Thursday the thunder storms should have arrived but did not although cooler temperatures, bliss. Perhaps this is why I love Spring the best as you get warm sunshine but a gentle breeze and the temperature rarely goes above 28.

Not much sewing done as too hot in my sewing room, did do some brainstorming of all the items I want to make. Ordered some brilliant project planners from Etsy, Crossbow Printables they are fantastic, load of other printables in Jordan's shop. Then realised did not have a folder they fitted and another order goes in along with some dividers. As many of you know I have a love affair with notebooks but needed something that I could move pages around, sort into sections etc. Will let you know how I get on.

Onto crafting managed to make quite a bit before the heat wave and only just got around to photographing and adding to my website.

Queen Bee Collection

Large make up bag

Clutch frame bag

Sticky note covers

Bracelet

Key Fobs

On a different note some delicious lavender filled heart sachets

Off to finish another knitted bodice baby dress, only one more planned this time in a magenta. Hope to have a photo of the lilac one next week.

Enjoy the summer
