So last weekend I spent most of my time at the Sydney Stitches and Craft show at Rosehill. Saturday both Jeff and I went and we spent quite a bit of money between us on goodies. He even bought a few things for himself to try like some card making kits from Two Spoonfuls of Sugar.
Sunday morning I was moaning about how I regretted not buying this or that, so I ended up going back again. Now what to do with all this stuff??!!
Goodies from Saturday:
Back for more on Sunday:
So we dropped by Ikea today... had swedish meatballs for lunch and then had a walk around. I think we've found a suitable desk for the study but we'll go back during the week when there are less people to get it.
I went a bit fabric crazy in there. Came back with 8 pieces and I'm tempted to get some more when we go back for the desk!
I've spent most of this afternoon looking at online fabric stores. There is way too much to choose from not to mention way too much temptation!
I've just bought some pieces from Quilt Fabric Delights from the collection on sale. I'm on annual leave for the next 2 weeks and although I have a list of things to do... like those oten assignments I've been putting off forever, it will be good to get started on some crafty projects. I really want to give bag making a try and have been itching to give one of the patterns I purchased from Nicole Mallalieu Design a go.
Recently I found a sock monkey that Jeff had purchased off ebay some time ago while looking through some unpacked boxes in what is supposed to be the study. I thought I'd give it a go and make my own.
I found a kit by Rourke and Henry on Made It. Here is the result:
I've already been out looking for socks to make more. It's a bit annoying how all the big brands have the brand name woven into the foot of the sock. This makes it impossible to make a sock monkey from them unless you want BONDS branded on the back of the monkey.
This is the first post to test the new blog.
