creative space day again

Gee I've become a slack blogger. Seems like I'm only sharing creative spaces of late, opps.... Gotta love a meme to keep you in touch, hey!

Well today has been all about Gocco. I haven't actually pulled it out and dusted it off just yet, but I have been getting my little chrissy card all ready to print. This years chrissy card is a light adaption from last years with a little addition of a cheeky toothy cherub. Tully and Asher are wanting to make their own as well so this weekend is shaping up to be a bit of a goccofest. yay! Wonder if the big fella will be inspired to?

Along with gocco I'm also sewing away at some angels, pixies, dresses for my girls and an apron. I'm crossing off my list just like Santa. Slowly I'm seeig the end of the tunnel, but then a UFO crops up like this little basket of granny's. hmmmm well she does seem to like them as they are though! Might just leave them on the backburner for a while.


ooo and lookie what we were super lucky to win! A giveaway from Claire from littletweetheart gorgeous, yes!

today's creative space

I really, really wanted to tackle this pile of fun this week, but nah I got a tummy bug instead didn't i! Once recovered there was much swimming to be done with this unseasonal heatwave and then the kids have just been ...hmmm ....well not very conducive to crafting. So the pile is still calling me. However, it will be bundled up for a little roadtrip over the border to the land of tikki where it will get some attention and hopefully some lovely results for some lovely peeps.

More crafting over here

Ohhh and go and check out the stocking over at Gossamer Dreams on Sunday night and see what little else I achieved this week, yep I stuffed three wee little angels and heatset a tee. wooohooo!

today

Today I picked up a couple of mag's along with some fabric and strawberrry licorice,oh man this stuff is my vice. It's just too yummy, but oh so sickly if you go too far...which I have, blergh. A bit of reading and reeeelaxing was the plan, but it didn't happen. You see I was going to reward myself for finishing off all these tee's last night.



Two little princesses. one for my princess, the other to be sent off in the mail to another princess. I think another might still be on the cards, what do you think Lily?



A little monkey and wee little xmas dove all done as well. Yay! Now for the next lot, but first I'm gonna sit down, pop up my feet and read Frankie.

my creative space

What a glorious day it is! Sunshine has finally come to town this week, my it's been a long time coming. Unfortunately, today we also have a the biggest miss with a fever so we're homebound. Creativity has been in small snippets, but here's what I've been up to.

Little angel decorations getting ready for a stocking over here on Sunday night. There is quite a mob of them actually, and more to come.



Hoping to get started on a couple of patterns. Everything is ready, I just need to squeeze in sometime at the machine. Not so easy somedays.....The littlest bubba is quite happy with a couple of 20 min sleeps a day, but it can be a little draining. So although she is awesome and goes down early, I'm usually to buggered by evening to face the sewing machine.



Another thing which the little miss makes a bit difficult is painting. Yesterday I gave it a good go whilst Sage slept in the sling (at least it was for longer than 20 min) but once she was awake there was no hope. So painting may be squeezed in today, but then again it probably won't be. So I wouldn't hold your breath for any painted tee's at Sunday's night stocking. Angel's, definitely.... pixies, nah.... hairclips, uh huh.....tee's, not a chance.

thankyou.

Thank you to everyone who left a comment on my last post, my what a wonderful blogging community it is! You all have made my heart lift at your kind thoughts and ache for those with similar stories of loss.

The random number generator in our house (ie. lachie, choose a number between 1- 23) came up with #17 Brianna from RollinginFabric as the winner of a precious little angel decoration. I'll be in contact Brianna to get your details.

Oh and the pic....well I had to have a piccie with the post and this one makes me smile. The things you find your children playing with sometimes. hmmm not so cute and cuddly, but she loves it none the less.

my creative space

Rather poignantly, my creative space today consists of little angels. Poignantly because today is Pregnancy and Infant loss Rememberance Day. Eight years ago our first little angel, Meika was stillborn so it's very bittersweet to have angels in my space today, particularly as the angel I have just completed has red curly hair, just as I always imagined Meika to have. Today's space has had tears and sad memeories but also extra cuddles for Meika's siblings.



I began sketching these little angels whilst away and haven't been able to stop thinking about how I would make them. So even though I have many others projects and trades to complete I had to get these made and "out there". After 3 attempts my little angel is just as I imagined her, cute. Sage seems to like her as well, which is lucky as she gets all the prototypes.



How very special that she was completed just in time for today. In memory of my own little angel and her many, many little friends I would like to offer a giveaway of one of these little angels. Simply leave a comment and spare a thought for all the lost little souls and their families, and I'll make up a special little spirit for your Christmas tree. Entries will close Sunday evening.

oooooo so many little winged things in my house at the moment:D
Much to the delight of her big sis, little Sage is quite happy to be dressed up as a fairy princess. Apparently the dress is very nice to chew.

As would be Ella and Alice if I would let Sage close enough to get her hands on them. These two little pixies will be appearing over in a very exciting stocking that tik and I have been invited to attend. Gossamer Dreams is the place to visit on the 15th as not only will tik and I be there but lots of other talented wahm's. The stocking is retro and I'm a bit excited about what may be stocked, check out Lesley's awesome set...way cute! The stocking is for 24hrs only so make sure you don't miss it!
