THE BIG RE-LAUNCH.

I can't believe it has been so so long since I first started this blog, I had such high hopes

for it but sadly it didn't happen.

But that was then and this is now and I'm back with a new enthusiasm for all things crafty.

I have a list as long and my arm of different things I want to make, starting with quilts for all

my boys I'll only do squares nothing to intricate (no point as they will only end up on the floor)

Has anyone seen the patchwork chair in the new Cath Kidston catalouge I would love to do that

with my sofas, I don't think my husband would appreciate it though and it does look like a lot of

work. I have just got to start using up some of my fabric I seem to have so much at the moment

I think thats why I can't concentrate on one thing because I'm always looking for my next project.

I've been sorting through all my craft books, to many craft books according to hubby (I hope he never looks at my wish list on Amazon) and I keep being drawn back to the Tilda ones everything is so pretty in them, some things are a little silly like a cow with angel wings on, I don't think I'll be making one of those, but never say never tastes change you know.

I've started making the quilt in the sew pretty homestyle which has quite a lot of applique which I'm enjoying because I can do that in the evenings while watching tv.

Hopefully this time I can keep posting.

See you soon

How can it be Friday already?

I can't understand it I'm sure I have less days in the week than everybody else, I must have how come everyone else seems to rearrange their houses landscape their gardens cook fab meals bake cakes and still have time to sew all in a week!!!
Maybe I just need to organize myself better I wonder where I've heard that before oh yes it's what I say to myself at the start of every week.
I start the week with all these good intentions that I will have everything done by lunchtime and have the afternoons crafting but somehow this just doesn't happen.
Maybe I should get off the computer and go and put some washing on........

Right I'm back now having cleaned as much as I'm going to today I've just been to the garden centre and they had my favourite frilly pansies I just love frilly pansies they are so pretty and best of all they were buy one get one free so I had to buy 6 I did didn't I please tell me I did.
When I got home the postman had been and left me a parcel on the doorstep I love parcels it was from the good fairy swap on swap bot and my partner was Raesha and she sent me 2 of the swaps I didn't receive anything from the first was a fabric swap yah I love love love fabric and it was a lovely selection and a pink swap which is another thing a absolutly adore pink and she sent me a cute pink notebook, buttons, lovely ric rac and a cute pack of pink snaps I love presents thank you Raesha.

At last I'm about to embark on a whole new adventure, I've been wanting to start this blog for months now but you know how it is theres always something else that comes up or is the truth I just kept putting it off week after week content just reading other talented girls blogs and wondering how the hell they keep their floors so clean and still manage to create such wonderful things, maybe they just write about the good bits and don't photograph the ironing pile in the corner that is threatening to take over the entire house or is that just mine?
I thought it would be nice to have somewhere I could show my charity/thrift shop finds to people who don't look at me with that pitying look that says OK mum as long as you like it thats fine but don't you dare put it anywhere near my room, why can't boys see the beauty in things your granny would have had on her dresser.
Anyway I think thats enough for now I may be back later to add some photos of what I call treasure and what my husband and boys call complete and utter crap..... theres no accounting for taste I suppose.
Tut tah for now
Kate.
