Getting Hexie organized!

I have wanted to start making some more Hexie flowers and the little tin I had all my gear in was already full. I spotted this lovely box in our local craft shop and thought it would be ideal!

My little tin fits nicely inside as does the fabrics I have chosen to make some more hexies...in brights this time, the ones in the pic are ones I first made when I was bitten by the hexie bug!

Wonder how long it will stay this tidy!! Lol! Enjoy your Sunday!! Lisa

Little Thread Keeper

Quite often I find myself putting all my cut off threads on the side of the couch when I am hand stitching. So I thought I would make myself a little thread keeper. I made the crazy patch block a few years back...one I had just done to practice crazy patch before I made the real one to go in a quilt! I have made this one fold up so it could also go in my handbag or craft bag.

I hope you are all have a great weekend!

Picture Playing!

I am now able to upload images via blogger, but had to go into settings and revert back to posting in old editor to do it. Would much prefer to be able to do it through Picasa as it's so much quicker and I can do more with the photos (make Bigger and upload more than 4 pics at a time) A picture from the sewing room. the little girl is so sweet and dances when you touch her!

From the sewing room deck. Not alot in flower at the moment...only the red salvia which has been in flower for months!! The cubby house in the background where I once did my folkart painting... as you can see the door badly in need of a re coat!

Red Bottle brush 'Captain Cook' also just off the deck, only a few flowers left for the birds to enjoy!

By For Now

Flower Garden....

Another little stitchery completed 'Flower Garden' So many butterflies in the garden at the moment, which I had to include. I don't need to look far for inspiration when they practically bump into the window! Lol! Also my little family of wrens have come back to visit the garden and have another wren design to stitch! Need few more hours in the day to get everything done!! I hope you are all having a great week!! Edit...Blogger still having photo uploading issues , so this is the best I can do until I can do it my usual way through Picasa. Lisa

Hopefully I have pictures!!!

Hopefully after the MANY attempts of posting pictures, they have actually appeared...if not I will probably be swearing profusely!!! Lol!

Not sure if my little block keeper was worth all this stress! I have recycled a cardboard box for inside front and back cover to give a bit more support.

A little inside pocket as I love pockets!!!

Just the right size for my Tis The Season blocks

And some simple stitches for the front and the reason why I'm calling this one Simple Stitches block keeper! Lisa

Picture loading problems!!!

Apologies to those people that have visited my blog to see my Simple Stitching block keeper, to find it's not there! My pictures are not appearing on my post, all I get instead of a picture is a little box with a red cross! It's so frustrating, I usually do a post through picasa and have tried emailing pics and also uploading the slow way through blogger, and still no pics!  It's the same for my other blog Cubby House Gardens. Not sure what else I can do and just hope it fixes itself!!!

Owl Stitching!

Can you remember the masked owl that visited my garden and let me take some snapshots? Well, I have finally got around to doing a little stitchery. I knew that my visitor was a female as they are bigger than the male...so I tried to make her as girlie as I could!

The men folk have gone off camping for the night so I hope to put in a few hours in the sewing room.

Bye For Now

Fabrics!!

Nothing like a little fabric purchase to lift ones spirits! I have found that my stash is lacking in BRIGHT cheery fabrics so had to rectify this with a little trip to Annies Cottage Crafts...a lovely craft shop about 1 1/2 hours drive from where I live.

So many ideas were coming to mind for these fabrics on the trip home

Some cute scissors!

And this fabric (under the scissors) with the birdies...how could I resist!!

A copy of Vignette and red and white fabrics arrived in the post yesterday.

Time to go and get Tea ready for the family but all I want to do is play with fabric! Lol!
