and the winner is.....

Moi according to the random number generator. (Sorry I couldn't figure out how to link the actual image of the generator.) Email me your addy and I'll finish off your babushka and send her off on her way. Yep, not finished sorry, I've been struck down with a lurgy and combined with being 35 weeks pregnant, I'm moving a wee bit slower than normal.

I do have a little alien dude all finished which I'll be sneaking up over at my store tonight. Alfred is his name and he features a super soft and fluffy purple tummy. Cute!

the best way to spend a winters day

Of course the best way to spend a winter's day is inside at the sewing machine whilst the toddler plays contentedly. Particularly, if the weather involves rain, hail, thunder and lightning! I must admit I do love this type of weather, but only if I'm inside. Which today I was, sewing away.

On my sewing table today I have an array of pixies at different stages of assembly, a pile of said pixies arms and legs, another pile of babushka's and a sweet little angel reminding me I need to make more like her. The angel is Tully's and has adorned various pieces of clothing since I made her a few weeks ago. She has also spent some time in the washing machine, hence the slightly bent wings. Poor angel.

Upon my table I also have a new bundle of fabric that my brave postie delievered today. I could see the parcel in my letterbox through the hail and was so eager to see it's contents but of course waited for the pelting to stop, no way was I getting belted by little nuggets of ice even for an exciting fabric parcel. I so love getting fabric in the mail, I think it's nearly my favourite type of mail! And just look at my selection. Some awesome echino, cute Japanese and some great spots and stripes. All intended for new pixies. See the way cute rainbow/mushie one on top, well the very sweet bonus to this is the little flowers and and apples are adorned with glitter. My word Miss Tully will be a bit excited about this one, I know I was!



Hmmm what else, well to say thank you to all you lovely readers and my friends over at facebook AND customers at my new store on made it, I'm going to have a little giveaway. As I have a bit of a production line of babushka's on the go I figure that's the best thing to offer up. So what do you have to do? Well you need to "like" pint over on facebook and then simply leave a comment here telling me what your fav thing to do on a winters day is. Easy! You have until Sunday night to leave a comment, and I'll select a winner with the random generator thingie on Monday. Cool.

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!

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.

score

Today i dropped into my fav second-hand shop for a quick browse and look what I found, two vintage sheet sets still in the pack. The children's one I think my sis tikki may have had as a child but in red tones. It has a very funky Noah's ark imagery and will be kept intact for the little peoples beds. Now the Sheridan sheets are double bed size and i won't use. I did consider keeping the pillowcase to make a dress but think it'd be nice to see the complete set go to a new home, so if you'd like them leave a comment and I'll send them your way. First in, best dressed:)

eta thanks for all your lovely comments:) Since Tashalou was first in,she gets best dressed so to speak. thanks again
