Another catch up

Following on from my Fox, Oliver, I bought yet more fabric. . . . 

So with black and white fabric, we now have Hugo the Panda Bear.

We have Baxter the Polar bear (he looks pretty serious in his photo)

I've also spent the morning looking for chicken beak fabric . . . .

Then made a whole clutch of chickens!!  

Then by special request I made a Badger for the local Scout group ( There mascot is a badger)

And although I named him Colin (great name for a badger!!) the Scouts are re-naming him Brock.

Doesn't he look great wearing his neckerchief?

And finally I had a post delivery on Sunday!

My post had travelled around the town, eventually arriving at my brothers

 (My Sister in Law has the same name as me).

It was a lovely letter from my Friend in Sweden with some Swedish chocolate called Plopp.

(It was quite spooky as my brother arrived with the letter just before we set off to Ikea)

Lots of sewing. . . . .

This week I finished my first Fox!

So we had a trip to the fabric store with a new animal in mind.

My Daughter spotted some fabric, then the question ' Are we doing anything on Sunday?'

Me 'No, I don't think so. Why?' 

Daughter 'I'd really like a pleated skirt'

She said 'It's easy, I've looked on Youtube'

All afternoon she had me working on the skirt. She is a taskmaster, I hardly had any breaks!!

I've done lots of sewing, quilts, cushions, simple dresses and lots of animal heads, but nothing with a zip. So out came the sewing bible.

We just need to add a fastener above the zip but my Boss/Assistant/Daughter is at college today so I'm having a break from the skirt.

 (I couldn't be bothered finding the right coat hanger, so the skirt is just pinned onto the hanger)

Welcome to my hunting lodge!

Hello March (where did February go?)

I've been busy with lots of sewing.

I've also set up a Facebook page (very new to me)

I've had lots of animal requests, some easier than others!

Hopefully over the next few days I'll be adding a swan!!
