ATC - Autumn

It's here! So excited to open the envelope and wow it's beautiful! Look at all the little stitches and the lovely autumn colours. I love the material she has used too! It is made by a lady called Sue, and you can view her blog post here.

So, here are a few pictures of my progress with my ATC for the Very Berry Handmade Textile Swap 2; you can view my original post here.



 
 
 
 
This is my finished ATC;


I now wish I'd done the back differently, maybe next time! If you'd like to see the other ATC's in the swap, please visit the flickr group. Thanks to Ali from Very Berry Handmade for organising this, let's hope she's able to do another!

Eeek it's arrived

So it has arrived, my sewing machine, so excited!! It's sitting there in its box saying open me; but; I'm too tired to open it - I know right - madness! I told my husband and he couldn't believe it, he said whilst arguing over who was the most knackered "Oh you must be tired!" So I won that one ;) must go to bed before anyone wakes up, it's been a hard week! Ni-night!

Liberty fabric

Look at all this gorgeous fabric I received over the weekend! It was my first online order of fabric, I've been looking for so long, but finally ordered from Very Berry Fabrics! Should have done it sooner really so I could use some of this on my ATC, details of the swap here. I'm almost finished so will post some pictures soon! Now what to do with this fabric? May just have to sit and look at it, it's soo pretty! tehe ;)

Poppy

I made myself a Poppy this morning for Remembrance Sunday. I sent my husband to buy red felt on his way past hobbycraft; he agreed as otherwise I'd be in there for hours! Now off to walk to the supermarket and will pop a donation in the collection tin as I'm now not buying a poppy this year!
