Not Mouthy Stitches Swap !!!!


This is my bag that i am doing a private swap with arranged by my friend
http://www.myroadtoinspiration.blogspot.co.uk/ Cindy with her cousin Mary
i have made a different bag found here
http://mypatchwork.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/tote-bag-tutorial/ 

wonky star one of my first !!.....covered button
i have used the fabric that i won from
http://annabelleserendipity.blogspot.co.uk/
thank you ann the fabric was perfect for the bag with a bit for the bottom from my stash >

then i thought i would try another wonky 

thought i also might try to make some crafty things looks like i am getting as many miles out of  the fabric fron Ann as i can :))))

this fabric box was a bit wobbly on the edges till i put a stitch in each corner !!

key fob for Mary 

a four cup mug rug and room for a packet of cookies too :)))

Cindy has been making these towels and if you dont want your walking off  have a go at them
as you can see from her blog she has been very busy http://www.myroadtoinspiration.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/sunday-creation.html

Bee Blocks For September :))




i have been a busy bee ....er................. making blocks for Maria miss september ,we are sending out 3 fqs and you can make one and send the fabric back with the block or make more blocks 3 fqs seems to be good for 3 blocks finishing (not always ) at 12 1/2 inches the siggy is a first for me also as you can see the stamping too hope by the time i have done a few more i will get the hang of it !!!

looks like i am going back to front these blocks are for Amanda miss august




this is a trial stamp  i still have to do this siggy

i am having my turn in march been looking on pink castle and have seen a bundle that i like will have to buy 3 of them Brenda said she would help :))) good job i dont know how i would choose from all that fabric and get it right Blue Light Special - Blogger Bundle by Brenda from Just A Bit Frayedi am thinking instead of beige i might like yellows not bright though this is the one i like so far ............it could change !!!!

ummmm i just happened to go on to M is for Make and was tempted i am sure i will find something for them 

this from Amazon as i keep cutting chunks out of my plastic one with the cutter so thought this might be better !!!!
Then lastly why the misery !!!!! one guess ......................................while i was fighting my way home  Mouthy Stitches 2 started  if we had not been held up in passport control took us over an hour to get through then ......................................we have a bag that is on a trip of its own so 2 1/2 hours later we got out....................................... to find when i plugged in it had came and gone without me :(((((((
