The head colds are still hanging on, but at least today we can take things slower at last.
My only chore (and I really could NOT call it a chore) is to unpack my sewing room boxes, and make another few curtains before sunset.
This is the gift I made for Peg in Maree's Paper Bag Swap. It was so much fun, but quite a challenge to make something for another person with fabrics they had chosen themselves.
It made me dig deep into those creative channels, but I did what I always do...I put the fabric down and then I leave it. I walk around it for days (or weeks) until suddenly a picture begins to build in my mind. And only then do I pick up the fabric and start the journey of creating something new.
I made Peg a wallhanging, and have named it "Peg's Hearts". The colours were not what I usually use, but I think I may be making more from these colours in the future - I loved them! Peg had tea dyed the jumbo ric-rac and wondered how I'd use it...it worked perfectly as a feature to hang the hearts!
For those who have asked - yes, I will be releasing this as a pattern once I'm organised again.
Okay...I'm off to drink copious amounts of warm drinks and then I shall be lost in my sewing room for the rest of the day!
Hugs
Jenny

Hi, I've been reading your blog for a little while, and am interested to work out where about you've moved to. My friend Deb (http://debsquilting.blogspot.com) and I have been arguing whereabouts it may be!
ReplyDeleteRachelle
Have been following your travels and glad you are getting settled in but do be careful with the colds and don't get to tired and have them get worse. Maybe we could see some pictures of your NEW sewing room when you are all unpacked. Would enjoy that a lot. Do take care!
