Little Fabric Scraps

Afternoon all.  I'm starting to get a little excited about the upcoming fabric swap ~ many thanks to you who have already entered together we will make little packages of happiness to send to each other's doors. 

If you are still thinking of entering you have still got time, I'll leave it open until Wednesday and I'll pair us all up then, just sign up here

My recent makes have been a bit sporadic.  The hexie kits I popped in my Folksy shop have been going well,  there are lots of creative ladies out there who want to get into, or back into making little hexies. 

I've been making more hexies for my own stash too, I have a 'mainly pinks' idea for a cushion for my girly bedroom ~ don't tell the hubby!  I love being surrounded by little fabric scraps.

I finally got a new blade for my rotary cutter so I was trimming and cutting like mad on Saturday, so much so that my wrist is hurting like mad today.

I've made some larger squares 10cm x 10cm these will fit the larger hexies I have but I will more than likely make them into a patchwork cushion.

I've been making more candles and melts.  I had my first major fail with a batch of tea lights this week, I added too much scent and they were just not right.  They smell amazing but burn up really fast, I'll have to keep these ones for myself ;0) 

I did manage not to botch up the Bubblegum Melts I made, so they made it into my shop.

On a totally different tack, I make myself a 'Sewing Necklace' ~ I've had these charms for ages and thought I would make use of them, quite sweet and 'Sew' me.

Told you my makes were sporadic...

In other news, I've got lots of 'Family Issues' going on at the minute, so I'm a little pre-occupied. 

My blogging has been much less frequent as has my commenting. 

To be fair the commenting is not easy with blogger playing up at the minute but I mainly use my iPhone to read all of your blogs and leaving comments is not always possible on there, depending on Blogger's mood.  I do read each and every post though and I will be back to commenting and posting more often as soon as things settle down.

Love you all lots, and get your thinking caps ready for the swap x

p.s. Can't let today go by without sending a 'Happy Fathers Day' to all the wonderful Fathers out there, especially my wonderful husband, the best Dad and Step Dad any kid could wish for xXx

~ ♥ Back Soon ♥ ~
