| If I was completely juvenile I would say something like, "Apparently bubbles come out of Dinosaur Butts". In actual fact I am partway through stitching "Butterfly" :) |
With the children on school holidays (although two of them are in Summer camp in the mornings) I am spending less time than usual sewing. I'm not really into New Year Resolutions but I decided that I want to sew one thing a month for our new home, possibly two. We will move in just over 12 months and I'm starting with cushion covers. This reflects the INSANELY uncomfortable sofa we currently have. I'm dreaming of a new house with lots of quilted cushions, can't you just picture it? I can only give you a sneak peak of this WiP as it is for an upcoming blog hop, you'll have to pop back on the 28th of January to see this project finished :) It might be a cushion cover ;)
I think there are a few other WiPs floating around but at this moment the other one I can think of is the first project of the Curves Class that I am taking over at Stitched in Color. I'm so excited about this class, we're starting with scalloped bunting which is nice and easy and Miss 2 has already claimed this WiP :)
In addition to a (very) little sewing the kids and I had fun today with the hose. First we used the water from the blow up pool to clean the car, then I cleaned the pool, patched a hole from the flying trampoline (we had Category 1 winds a couple of weeks ago from ex-cyclone Freda and our trampoline traveled a fair way around the yard including over the pool.) and refilled it. We're all ready for a play date tomorrow afternoon, hopefully the patch holds and I get a few minutes sewing in before then!
I'm linking up with Work In Progress Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.
I was so hoping it was a Dinosaur Butt! lol. LOVE the sneak peek at the maybe cushion cover :)
ReplyDeleteDinosaur Butt :-) Too funny! We are going to have the winter holidays soon. We are covered in snow baby, so enjoy your water games!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to have loads of handmade things for your new house!
ReplyDeleteDinosaur Butt has me giggling. Especially when you mentioned the bubbles. Can't wait to see the rest of the cushion. The sneak looks amazing. I am in the Curves Class too, but won't start my bunting until tonight. I love those little birdies you picked for yours.
ReplyDeleteI need to visit you!!! We are freezing right now LOL. I can't wait to see your post on the 28th!
ReplyDeleteI had to read Dino Butt a couple of times to make sure I wasn't missing something!! The peak at your new cushion looks gorgeous and I love the colors of your bunting!!
ReplyDeleteDinosaur Butt,LMBO!!!!! Looking forward to seeing your cushion cover...beautiful stitches!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou had me at Butt...
ReplyDeleteLove that sneak peek, it looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love all the special details you're putting into this quilt. It is going to be treasured for many, many years! My 17 year old daughter still sleeps with the baby blanket I crocheted her. When she was little she said it made her feel better when I wasn't with her because I put my love in it. It didn't matter that it was a simple one stitch pattern that I made up or that the variegated yarn it's made with came from multiple, unmatched dye lots, ecause I could only afford a ball or two of the 100%
ReplyDeletecotton I wanted for her at a time. THIS is going to be loved and be with your family forever. The stitching will have seemed to last mere moments years from now. (Can you tell I'm a little nostalgic and error that my baby is on the brink of launching? Lol)
Lovely makes this week!
