Random stuff


Just a few random thoughts.

1.  Why is it that however well you stock up, the shopping always has to be done again at some point?       I wish the cupboards would just stay full.

2. When will spring actually start?  OK, I know it has started in theory, but when will the spring weather arrive?

3. Out-laws are a bloody nightmare.  The Daleks should exterminate them.

4.  Helped on the market stall on Saturday in aid of the doggies and we made £509.  Brilliant.  Worth going out so early in the biter cold and pouring rain. Missed seeing the doggies though.

5. If other half invites someone to our house that I cannot stand why is it not OK for me to go out and leave him to it?   In fact why can't he just go and see them instead of inviting them here?

6. I will not be told by anyone who I can and can't like. It doesn't work that way.  Some you like and some you can't stand.

7. Had horrid headache most of yesterday.  I know what started it.

8. Still can't get people to read here and still missing Multiply.

9. Am going to start a new blog specifically for Fabrilushus.

10. Insurance company are refusing to pay for Alfie's prescription diet food.  It is around a £100 a month.  Simon just collected his tablets today and a months supply is £180.  Thank goodness the insurance covers that.

11. Just realised that Easter isn't far away and in just over a weeks time Simon will be under my feet again for 2 weeks.  Wish we were able to go away somewhere hot and sunny.   It isn't possible as we can't leave Alfie and Loulou.

12.  Still have headache.  Think I will go to bed and read.



Show and tell


This weeks "Show and Tell" goodies all of which are for sale in my Fabrilushus shop.

First up, decorative hanging hearts.


The ones above are just decorative and are stuffed with wadding.  The 2 below are filled with English lavender which smells divine.


The one above is actually in a really nice gold fabric but I can't capture it in the photo.

Some burp cloths.  They are both made with the same spotty fabric but one has a baby pink towelling back and the other is quilted and has a bright pink jersey back.

Detail of quilting.

Those are obviously for girlies.  I also made 2 new ones for the boys.  Love this first one. It has gorgeous soft Minky fabric on the back as does the second one.


The ABC one has smooth Minky where as the other one has dimple Minky.

I have made more of the decorative hanging pillows.


I love this next one.  It is a cushion made with a disappearing 9 patch block in the centre


I have just tried my hand at a bib.  This has pink towelling on the back and a velcro closure.


Of course there were more new brooches this week.


Lastly for this week I have another hanging pillow.  This time with the word Welcome.


That is all for now.  I am already working on next weeks items.
