More Show and Tell

I know I only just did a "Show and Tell" but  you may as well see what else I have been making and what is keeping me so busy.

Let's get started. I have made 2 new bags.  The first is my ordinary tote bag.  This one has a little yoyo decoration.

This one is a different design, sort of rounded and slouchy.  I LOVE this doggie fabric. This bag comes complete with one of my felt brooches which can be removed.

While we are on the subject of doggies I may as well show you a very simple make...... a doggie fleece blanket with knotted fringe.

I have made a few baby items this last week.  Here is a fleece burp cloth.

A Ribbon blankie for a baby girl. It has a lovely textured back.

I have made some little hanging hearts in baby fabrics and filled them with lavender.   Hopefully these will get baby off to sleep.

Key rings are something new for me and I have made 3 so far.

I have made 8 new felt brooches using a different finish to normal.  These ones are blanket stitched together.

Well, I think that is about it for March.  I have got other things that I have been working on but I will show them another day.  I am still in the process of setting up a new blog specifically for Fabrilushus.  I also have exciting news coming soon regarding another outlet for my goodies.

I will hopefully find time to do another blog in the next few days.

Show and tell for the end of March

Well here we go, time to show you all the rest of the things that I have made in the second half of the month.
More hanging pillows.  This one says Hope.

The next one has the word Dream and it is not currently for sale.  It will probably be a gift for someone.

This is another version of the dream hanging cushion and this one is for sale.

I have made another ribbon taggie blanket.  This one is in 2 kinds of Minky fabric and has white towelling on the back.

This is another one of my tote bags.  I like the colours in this one.

Some more hanging hearts.

A couple of brooches.  First a new kind, which is kind of shabby chic so the stitching shows as do the cut threads and they form part of the design.

Some new felt heart brooches in mint and pink which apparently are the on trend colours for spring.

The weather here is rotten, really rotten.  It is cold, wet and windy and today we are even supposed to get more snow. Lots of the country is already buried under snow.  We seem stuck in winter.  Sping is definitely running late.  When I think of spring I think of tulips and daffodils. So to cheer myself up I came up with a tulip design.

First of all I made a cushion for my bedroom.  I was so pleased with it that I then made a wall hanging for Fabrilushus.

This is the cushion.

 Here is the wall hanging.

Well, I originally wrote this around 2 weeks ago and it just never got published. Thank fully since I wrote it spring seems to be finally on it's way. 

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.
