With lots of pins ...

Perfect for a little girl.

Off to start quilting.

Fairies

Gifts for little girls .....

 

  

Pencil rolls.

Made using the Alexander Henry Tillbrook Fairies fabric collection.

The blue fabric in the background is a thrifted sheet I found yesterday at my local op-shop!!

Enjoy the girliness!

What use could my bum have for a denim mini skirt??

Not much ....

... unless I turn it into a new bag!!!

New pockets on the inside:

And I can still use the original pockets on the outside:

A 50c skirt from the op-shop is my new favourite bag!!

Have you done any re-purposing lately?

Andi :-)

Smelly

.... but in a good way!

It is Dan's grandmother's birthday. She is a very sweet lady who lives in a smallish apartment and is VERY conscious of not getting into a clutter.

So I thought I'd make her some pot-pouri bags to make her undies smell pretty!!

Made using Little Folks voiles with a solid pink voile for the lining.

The contents is the dried remainders of my birthday roses with a little essential oil for extra smelliness!!


After the controversy of my last post, it's a relief to get back to a safer topic.

Happy birthday Nan!!

Love,
Andi xx

Dear KateJ

Thank you for your comment on my latest post.
What a shame you gave me no other way of contacting you to offer my response.

I agree with you. It is important to support local fabric stores as well as other crafts people.
Please see my recent posts here, here and here!!!!!

But as a buyer (both for personal and business purposes) it is hard to go past prices that are less than 50% of the local prices.

What price should we be expected to pay to support the local industry at all times?

What do other people think?

I want to give my postie a big fat kiss!!!

Look what was on my door step this morning!!!

Inside the smaller package was a small selection of Anna Maria Horner's "Little Folks" voiles from Lanie Jane. They are so very soft and silky to the touch.

Lanie will be re-stocking this range and I can't wait to buy some more.
Lanie's prices are the best I've found on these luscious fabrics.
Lanie even threw in a few bonus fat quarters.
Thank you so much Lanie. I am in fabric heaven!!!

Then on to the big box ....

Fresh Squeezed Fabrics have such a great selection of fabrics.
All my purchases were from the 'Sale' section of the shop and Randi even gave me a further 10% off. Yay!!!

 

I picked up a selection of 'boy' fabrics from David Walker's "Oh Boy" range. 

  

Some stunning florals (and a spot) by Jennifer Paganelli (just about my favourite fabric designer at the moment), Tanya Whelan,  and Anna Maria Horner (my other current favourite).

And guess what!!! Randi also threw in some extras for me to play with ...

A couple of fat quarters and some charm squares.

Thanks so much Randi. As Arnie says "I'll be back".

Hope your Tuesday is turning out as fun as mine.

Andi :-)
