My Creative Space

This week my creative space will be my Mac Book.  I have two deadlines this week and the sewing bit is done and now is the writing bit and photo shoot for the tutorial.  Here is a little sneak peak of the 2nd item that I need to finish this week.  

I also have a list a mile long of things I need to do today, the last free day before school holidays.

There aren't any links for Creative Space this week.  But I am sure there are some you missed last week so check it out.

Week Round up and An Announcement

Well I romped in the 15 minute challenge this week.  There was more binding action, it takes me ages to bind a quilt because I can't stand to do it for any length of time and really I am just putting of the joining the ends together and sewing that last foot.

Had a couple of deadlines looming and they are finished apart from writing the pattern (which is very nearly finished just have to edit photo's for the tutorial).

And I started something new.   Don't know where it is headed yet but there is a slight plan in my head.

And now for the announcement.  I am booked to teach a Needle Turn Applique Class at Hetties on the 7th August 10am to 4pm.  So if you are hankering to give it a go, ring the shop and book in.  I will be working on a class sample in the next month and it will be in the shop early June.  This will be a no pressure class and will be a relaxing afternoon stitching (no sewing machine required).

My Creative Space

Lots happening here creatively today.  I need to do something with this little pile for Sarah.

Finish binding on Jelly Squares and get back to writing the pattern.

I have worked 3 days in a row this week so I have 2 days of in a row instead so I am looking forward to just doing a couple of errands maybe a smidge of housework and sewing.

I also have free shipping on my Made it Shop until Sunday.

Great Weekend

The weather in Adelaide is divine at the moment, not hot but lovely sunny mild days.

We headed to the beach late yesterday afternoon, as my Husband says "It may be the last good weekend we get!" Now the kids are a wake up to it "You always say that Dad".  I don't know who enjoys building the sandcastles more, I suspect it is hubby.

And of course after Dad has made the sandcastle the kids have got to jump on it before we leave for home.  

Finished a project for Sarah today, didn't manage to start the next one but I do have two days off in a row this week and not much booked in, so I will be able finish that this week.  Finished quilting my Jelly Square Quilt, and have put on the binding.  

Favourite Things Friday

For those of you who are regular readers of this blog, you might suspect that this week it may be Coco but no, until she is fully toilet trained and has a few more manners I think she will be off the favourite list.  Though she is a dear and it is lovely to have the unconditional love of a 4 legged friend, who jumps for joy when you walk in the door.  

This week has been a busy one, as well as the usual run around it was Parent Teacher Interviews,  which were all good, and then on my usual day off   I worked at Hetties for a few hours this week which was quite fun.  Only trouble was I had the time to look around and see a few things that I just have to have so I don't think I will be making any profit from that exercise.

Those who know me know that I love gadgets and this weeks FTF is a gadget that I have had for a while and it always comes in handy for needle turn applique.  They are Perfect Circles, and they will help you make the perfect needleturn applique circle in a jiffy.

There are two sizes Bigger Perfect Circles and the standard smaller size which come on a handy little ring so you don't loose them.    I just happened to take them away to Pirie with me and I was surprised to find that Rosalie hadn't heard of them.

I got mine from  www.ozquilts.com.au but I am sure if you ask at your local quilt shop they will be able to get you a pack or two.
