New Bag


I made this bag yesterday and I really love it except I made the handles too short for how I like them so I think I will sell it. The outside is white canvas with green dots and it is lined with chocolate corduroy. This bag is now for sale here


I also recently made Charlotte this skirt.

I've been tagged

I've been tagged by a few people so here goes.

And the rules are:
• Start with 7 random facts/habits about yourself, that others may not know!
• People who are tagged have to write their 7 things on their blog
• Then choose another 7 people to get tagged and list their names

1. I worked with my partner Jeff for 10 years before we became romantically involved

2. I would love to live in New York

3. I hate driving up steep hills, I am afraid of not making it.

4. I'm not a very good housekeeper.

5. I have become addicted to sewing (but I guess you know that).

6. I fantasise about winning Lotto and have spent the money already.

7. I watch too much tv and I love it!

There's not too many left to tag so sorry if someone else has already gotten to you.

Baby Blocks

Seems silly but I have been working on these for ages. It seemed to take ages to get the squares cut and then sewn and stuffed but I finally finished it today. It is a simple block for Lucy to play with and with all the tags going around at the moment I added a few but didn't have too much ribbon floating around. These will be available for sale soon in the Snailblazer Shop.
Excuse the photos my camera won't turn on so I have had to use Charlotte's

Lucy's Christening

We had a lovely day today for Lucy's christening. There were 3 children being christening and Lucy started the crying when the water was poured over her head and the others followed suit, but that was it.

The Remnant Warehouse


Finally got to the Remnant Warehouse today and they have heaps more stuff than the last time I went. I got the following fabrics:

Black school days Michael Miller - this was reduced to $8/m and I thought I could use it for a library bag next year when Charlotte starts school
Retro space rascals Michael Miller - 1/2 m of this
The red/grey one with the lady on it is a fat quarter - not sure what I will do with this but Charlotte fell in love with it
The pink and green have groovy figures on them and were both $6/m so I couldn't pass them up.
I could have gone berserk but thought I should refrain myself but I will definitely be going back.
