Japanese Bags with Tulip Tassels



I just had to try out my new sewing machine by making these cute little jewellery (English spelling!!) bags! I should have taken a photo of the insides too, because the linings are really lovely.  And over on Cotton Confetti you can see the small quilt I just finished in time for this evenings Embroiderer's Guild Meeting.

Six little ducks went swimming one day....

... down the road to the Blue Boar.  The landladies are making creme egg holders to sell for charity.  I had to give them a hand with these red white and blue egg holders to celebrate the royal wedding!

Packed up ready to go.....

A new photo from Tom n Jerri to fit the heart shaped photo frame in my Atlanta Corner - clock is set to Atlanta time!!  Hello Kitty is along for the ride.

Guess who is 21......

A little gift for the birthday girl......

And a little bag to pop it in!


The cat who got the cream?


Nope - this poor little butterfly.  Anyone know what type it is - it was quite big about 4 inch wing span!  Sorry no prizes!  Well maybe you never know!!

Busy Weekend

I made this calendar to put on my desk at work - people are always stealing post it notes - mine are a very distinctive shape and certainly not the sort we can get from the stationery department!! The photo I took in London a Banksy/Robbo collaboration on the side of the Regents Canal.

This is my annual fridge magnet calendar - another photo taken in London my son took me to Camley Natural Park which is just round the corner from St Pancras Station and if you look very closely you can just make out a crane and three turtles!

And yet another photo of a crane - Banksy style.... with a little enhancement from Robbo again - photographed on the bank of the Regents Canal in Camden in 2010.

I've always wanted to make a 'jacob's ladder' mini book.... this is the start of my mini Christmas book - the mount board is painted with gold paint and I have decorated each page with Christmas scrapbooking papers.

This shows just how many layers make up the Jacob's Ladder.

...and here it is in action.  It took a couple of attempts to get alternating striped and green pages and at one point I didn't glue the ribbons on correctly - but it's fine now and works beautifully.

Another shot of the Jacob's ladder in motion!

Tomorrow is Prize-Giving day!  I started a star chart to encourage the team members to give me their monthly figures in a timely manner!!  I awarded a gold, silver and bronze star to the first three to hand them in and told them there would be a prize at the end of six months.  So this is the prize - we needed cupcakes, but as we are all on a diet I made a 'cupcake' jewellery bag.

How cute is this fabric!

Monday beading class produced this lovely choker - I bought beads to match the t-shirt I bought the other day!
What a busy and productive weekend I have had........
