Polka dots

8 / 27 / 128 / 27 / 12

It’s a rainy bank holiday here, so no work today!  We went to a wonderful farm park this morning and saw lots of adorable baby animals.  This afternoon I got a lot of jobs done including washing and ironing some new dotty fabrics I bought in the market.  (The rainbow raindrops you can see are my ironing board cover, by the way. It makes me smile every time I see it!)

To help pass a little time on this rainy old day I had a quick look on Etsy and found a few cheery things to treat my eyes…

My youngest boy would love this fox.

and I’m sure my lunch would taste that much better if I could take it to work in this bag:

Ah rainy days!  Love them.

More chevrons

8 / 22 / 128 / 22 / 12

I still have to finish my chevron quilt, it’s all quilted, just the binding left to do. I quilted it by hand in the end, I tried a few rows with my machine but I could not get my stitches even. I think I might need to invest in a walking foot.

Anyhow, I liked how it turned out so much that I started another, in rainbow colours, with a pieced backing. It’s smaller than the first one but I think it looks brill!

Me and my eldest boy made gingerbread men today while the little one was in nursery. I found the recipe here: gingerbread man recipe. They are delicious, it’s hard to eat just one. Beautifully decorated too!

My chevrons are taking shape! I’ve made my quilt sandwich & now I need to do the quilting – machine or hand? Not sure yet. Going to do some experiments this evening, see which looks best.

My little superheroes

8 / 2 / 12

My eldest boy had been wanting a superhero cape for a while, so when I found this tutorial I thought I’d have a go: superhero cape from a t-shirt
I used some of daddy’s old t-shirts and made the logos from felt which I sewed on. I used the boys’ initials so each had his own personalised superhero logo. I ended up with 2 very happy superheroes! Now, I wonder if they can use their powers for good and help me with the housework…
