bit of sewing

little wallet found here http://wheretheorchidsgrow.blogspot.com/2011/11/scrappy-organizer-tutorial.html was really easy to put together it is just the right size to take passports and all the bits you need when you travel i think i would make it a tad (not much though) bigger if i do it again .

this is me doing my zip end this is the best i have ever done them

my charm pack ,think i like most of these fabrics particularly the one on the top and the others like it !!

i have finished yet another zippy something so small is giving me grief ,make one then make another and another think i will be ready to do another tomorrow ,i love this last one with the bunting on and i have put a initial on the back too if i dont send it i will have to find someone with that initial !!! :)))))

scrappy zippies

i bought a charm pack of echo it has 20 charms in it so i thought i would get on with some practice for http://www.flickr.com/groups/mouthystitches/pool/   turned out really cute but not big enough for my phone
but i will use it even for change !!

then i made a panel curtain for the kitchen of the chilie fabric from ben i like it as i also have chilie lights on one of my cupboards http://www.flickr.com/photos/34097722@N02/6595872353/in/set-72157628235632667

now just to let you know i have lost 4 1/4 lb this week i have updated my ticker ,i think i might have gone over board with how much i want to lose think i would be a size 8 at the end of it i am size16 now all these sizes are british sizes !! anyhow i am quite pleased with my progress so far see what next wednesday brings !!  

bought this last week from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jelly-Roll-Sampler-Quilts-Patchwork/dp/0715338447/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327329522&sr=1-3
only to find out that you really need a speicial ruler for cutting ................if you are confident no but i dont want to ruin it from the start so sent off for the ruler and guess what ........................out of stock but they didnt say that as i was ordering only when i checked up to find out where it was as it seemed i could get zips from http://www.etsy.com/shop/zipit quicker than an order from sussex !!!!!!

bought these in a sale cannot remember whose but they are nice and will add nicely to my stash a roo :))

this is flannel to make scarves with prob next winter now!!

this was a practice zippy  plus a bag roll everything is in it and now i can find whatever i am looking for
