I'm amazed at myself. I started cutting out and sewing the baby sling the other night and actually finished it the same night and even got the rest of my placemats cut out and finished one of them too!
The baby sling works a treat. We gave it a test run at the beach the other day and it was so good. Hands free to do other things...no strain on my back. Brilliant.
Hello again. Sorry to bother you with more voting nonsense but I really could do with a super big help to get some votes for my t shirt designs again. I have had a few more accepted and they are now on the site and ready for voting. I'm totally thrilled!
Please help! Here are the links to the pages.
Thank you in advance if you do vote and if you vote please remember to leave a comment right here on the blog in this post.
Lexie was "washing my hair" at the "hairdressers" last night and she was passing me "magazines" to read as I lay there on the sofa having my hair washed. One of the books she passed to me was "Simple Sewing" by Lotta Jansdotter which I haven't looked through in such a long time. In fact I haven't looked through any of my books in such a long time.
So, once the "salon" was closed for the night and the hairdresser was fast asleep in bed, I got a handful of my favourites and began to flick through them.
I've been thinking of doing a little project. Something easy to get back into the swing of things. It's been over 6 months since I made anything. So I thought the placemats, coasters and napkins would be a good start.
I like the pocket on the front so I'll incorporate that but I'll probably adapt her pattern slightly as I'd prefer a back to the placemats. I have tonnes of linen so I can use that for the backs and I've been sifting through my fabric stash for the fronts.
I better dust down my sewing machine...it's about to be put to good use again.
More t shirt stuff...
These are some of the other designs I have submitted to DBH. Now it's a waiting game to see if they are accepted and then let the voting begin!
I have got some more designs up my sleeve for future submissions but thought this was quite enough for this time.
I'll let you know if they've been chosen and then you can help me by voting.
Ok, so the competition over at DBH is still running. I'm not sure if anyone still reads this here blog anymore but I could really do with some support on this one. If you could just mention it on your blog...facebook it....flickr it....tweet it!!!
Leave a comment here if you voted (or just to say hi even) and let me know which one...there's a prize for one lucky reader once the voting has ended. I'll do a draw out of a hat! Oh dear, I hope I'm not going to be really mortified that no one votes/leaves a comment!
I have already set up some new tees for submission.
This is just one - a taster - and of course they may not be selected but I'll keep you posted and let you know if they're chosen.
Ok folks, this is where you come in. I kinda need your support.
I have just submitted (and I'm very nervous about it) some artworks to be considered in the daily competition over on Designbyhumans.
You could really help out big time by spreading the word and by going to Designbyhumans and voting for my designs.
Of course, only if you think they're any good that is.
The winning designs are printed up into real t-shirts which are then sold through the Designbyhumans website.
I will be adding more as time goes by but for now, lets see how these ones go.
Thanks in advance to everyone who votes!
Oh and you have to sign up to be able to vote...I know that's a bit of a pain but it would really help if you did. It'll only take a couple of minutes of your time.

We received some beautiful gifts from AL just the other day.
Poppy has one the same except it has Poppy's name on it. They are beautiful. It's just annoying that we aren't allowed to pin anything on the walls. It looks good on the end of the bed though. I haven't taken any shots of Poppy's yet. Her room still needs a bit of a sorting out and I'm not sure where to put hers yet. I may pin it to her cot from one end to the other.
Lexie also has her soft house painting by Natascha at the top of her bed there see. I love that house. It's a shame we can't put things up on the walls. I have a ton of pictures that I want to put up but I'd get my wrists slapped if I did.
