New to the shop

I've been playing with tea-towels as I sometimes do.

Many have been given away as gifts but a couple have made it into the shop.

Procrastination

Today I have lots of sewing to do - and I'm not in the mood.
Does this happen to you too?
But it has to be done as I promised someone.
So what to do ??

Kettle on.. check
Get the iPod and find the "pull your finger out" playlist ... check  (the boy has been known to assume role of "King Of Music" and delete any playlists that he thinks are not worthy - I wasn't happy as a new favourite one that I had created was culled.  He is no longer King Of Music)
Put iPod on loud (sorry neighbours) ... check
Stop reading blogs ... check
Do not click on Pinterest
Turn off the computer
Stop procrastinating.

See you on the other side hopefully with pics of some finished bits and pieces.

Hmm I have a sudden urge to scrub the floors and clean the oven ..... and have I hidden chocolate somewhere in the pantry?
Procrastination ... it's an art form!

Teatowels and where has my room gone?

Hi

Here are some tea towels hot of the press for a Mothers Day order.  Thought you might like a squiz before I pack them up.

Other than that its been May Fair madness here (ie sewing for the school fete).  It is happening this Saturday and we have lots of beautiful handmade goodies made by some very clever Mum handmade helpers!
I will show you some pics but currently all of that beautiful stuff looks like this....

The Mr is looking forward to getting our house back next week.
Hope your home is more organised than mine.
Have a great Monday
Cheers

Running around in circles

More circle work...


with a bit of "daisy" by ink & spindle and some black "orchard" by pippiejoe. I'm really happy with them - if I don't say so myself.

Another eleven to go in red "orchard" by pippiejoe.
Then a couple more aprons (hmm, 7 I think), a tablecloth or two and a bag ... before Friday...
Must learn my limitations & not procrastinate.
Must learn not take orders so late in December.
Must also remember to pick up and feed the kids...

Hope you're not running around in circles too!

Last day for the giveaway - leave a comment here for something nice!

Practice makes perfect

Practice makes perfect, so they say. In that case, I have a whole lot of practicing to do when it comes to free motion machine quilting ...

This is what happened to those circles. 100% linen tea towels for a market on Sunday. If you can make it to Mulgrave in Melbourne on Sunday morning, please come and say hello!

Cheers

Jenny

PS. This is post number 98 - who would have thought??? - so I'm thinking a celebratory giveaway for the big 100. Will keep you posted...

For the teachers...

A trip to Amitie today and the thankyou presents for teachers are all done!

Foodie goodies wrapped in tea-towels for kinder all wrapped and waiting (so I don't eat the Turkish Delight!) and for the two most wonderful primary teachers in the world (if only we could have them again next year.....) a little linen tote bag to ferry around their teacher stuff.

Now onto the next project ......

Circle Work

Many years ago "circle work" involved my 2 brothers, 1 V8 Kingswood, 1 paddock and lots of dust. Not as much dust these days ...

Tea-towels for Sunday's market.

Pop down to Mulgrave Makers Market and Farmers Market on Sunday (8am - 1pm) and say hello!

Cheers
