1st October!! Where did September go?

Having little man's birthday on the last day of September you would think I would of realised October was looming, but looking at the perpetual calendar this morning I did have a big shake of the head in disbelief!! Where oh where has this year gone ?

First , thank you for all your good wishes for my little man's birthday.  I told him about them and he gave a huge smile.  He told me his birthday was brilliant and when I asked him this morning where his new dinosaurs were , his reply was "still in bed sleeping, they had a busy day on my birthday" oh I did laugh !!!

Today a joyous day of sewing..yippee.  I was like a kid in a sweetie shop.  I was making for hours.....and this is what I have to show for it.

This has been waiting for probably a year to be made into "something"




The front ..all EPP (English paper piecing)
all sewn and tidied up



This is the back ...I just love random colours 
Patchwork is so lovely to do



This again EPP , with Cath Kidston
Fabric...it looks so summery,
I decided to do something with it
But summer seems so long ago
already ,
But I tidied this up too



It needs a good iron and both need a good backing 
material. ..still don,t know what to make..
But just some hand sewing in warm sunshine 
I just love it.


Loads of putting ornaments together, sticky fingers again

More ideas, one I sort of found out by mistake

Oh I have had so much fun......

My book of ideas still looks rather fat,    Lots more ideas to put together ........what a happy bunny
i have been today...I just love hand sewing ..


These are a few Christmas fabric bundles
I picked up at Cotton Patch
All fat 1/8 's  , but so cute...

........

see you soon
Xxxx
