UFO Progress and Bits

I joined in with LaaLaa's UFO Support Group with the intention of clearing some of my unfinished objects before starting even more.

 

(Trouble is I'm such a sucker for new things, I already have two new projects on the go ... shhhh, dont tell Lynda)

I didn't really get my backside in gear and still have not finished anything!!

This has been almost ready for over a month now and just sat there unloved,



I did make a little progress with my little hexies, they are joining together to make something pretty.  

To be fair it does take ages to do these and they are coming along quite well,

Second was my crochet squares I started these and quickly fell out of love with them. 

The original idea was a cushion but I couldn't bear to carry on with them so they will end up as a mini cushion with lavender for my bed.  I have made a start on the back of the cushion but again not finished!

Oh and a sneaky pear dishcloth I just had to make...

Can I just share some lovely gifts I won this week from the lovely Jodi at OhSewBeautiful

I love cups and this one is my new breakfast cup, and how cute are these buttons?

The chocolate is long gone, the lavender bag is asleep amongs my fabric stash and the card has pride of place on my fireplace - I love it!  I have only skimmed the book but it has loads of promise.

Thanks again chick xx 

Jodi is hosting a Cupcake Swap, if you fancy joining in? 

 It's open until the 20th August, pop over and have a look I'm all swapped out for the minute but I might be tempted to join in at the last minute, I hate to be left out ;0)

I've had a few enquiries about the book thongs I mentioned in my last post.  Thank you for all the kind words, I have added some to my folksy shop if anyone is interested, I plan to add more soon x

Right I'm off to make another dint in my UFO pile.

Liberty Cushion and WIP's

I bought this fabric a few weeks ago now and I had meant to get cracking and make a cushion with it.  

Each time I got it out I didn't have the heart to cut into it as it was so precious.  It's Liberty and it's so fine and silky I thought it cruel to take scissors to it.

I gave in!

Even the scraps are a delight.

I made this for myself; it will have to live on my bed as I think I would cry if my boisterous kids got jammy hands on it in the lounge.

I'm glad I cut it now...

Have you been over to see Hookin with LaaLaa or Amanda Makes lately?  They have been airing their WIP's for all the world to see.  We all have them some more than others, and I'm also guilty of this.

Here are a few of mine, some almost there, some barely started.

A bit of a hexie theme going on here in three different sizes!

 

Help is at hand!

Lynda has set up a UFO (Unfinished Objects) Support Group.

Lynda said "We can make the last Sunday of each month our UFO show and tell day. If you haven't finished an item, it doesn't matter, you can show your progress. The idea is that it gives us all a kick up the bum to get these lovely items completed."

Pop over and join in if you need a little nudge along.
