Sneaky Peeks

I've been rather busy of late, last weekend was full of work and I even had to work Thursday and Friday nights (haven't done that in a while) and littlest fish and I had a lovely night on the lounge on Tuesday night as she decided she was sick and therefore could not sleep in her cot but would instead recline on me. I have managed to get a few things finished in the last few weeks and will give you a look as I like to share.

I have been a bit forgetful and am behind on my quilts of love challenge of one a month for a year so I made 2 this month and if I do 2 next month I'll be caught up again. This should probably be an ongoing thing and I will endeavour to keep it going as it's really suprising how many the hospitals need (we only have 2 in our area) as they are regularly requesting more. Makes you thankful for what you have.

I have also ticked a few xmas pressies off the list including a bag and a little needle case and made littlest fish a shirt with some babushkas and a cute little crochet flower that Aunty Jude made. (thanks Jude!) The little hair clips are the start of lots of little hair clips that I am in the process of making for the markets. I wanted some little things to have on the stall and my girls like them so I thought others might too!

Quilts of love

Here is the latest quilt of love I am doing this year. It just scraped in to be completed by the end of the month. I am going to try and have the next one finished by the MIDDLE of this month so I can be back on track. There is a baby and toddler market on up here in a few months and I am going to have a stall and hopefully sell some creations. That means I better get sewing!

Finished and Started

I actually got a bit of crafting done yesterday as Mr fish was home to help with the child wrangling. I finished the latest quilt of love that has been waiting for the binding to be put on. So I'm managing to keep up with my goal (so far).

I also got all these fabrics out and cut out some shapes that will soon be little birds for littlest fishes mobile. I've got ten cut out so I'm hoping that will be enough for a decent looking display.

This jumble of offcuts has plans to become something too. I'm not sure exactly how but a little nest is in my head and i'm going to attempt one so if it works i'll let you know!

I'm thinking some wire and some little feathers scattered throughout as well as some bits of thread. I can picture it but whether it comes out like that or not is a whole other story.
