Wren

I've also done a lot on my blue wren.  Here's an update ....

I am enjoying stitching this little wren.

Dog toys

Here's the finished dog toys with those squeakers inside.  Fun to make and Tess enjoys playing with them.  Scrap fabric is okay but I might need to get some polar fleece or something tougher than polycotton lol.  I made a few spares and have already reused the squeakers and stuffing from one.

Suffolk puff update

I have now completed 356 puffs towards Grace's quilt.  Not bad considering we only started a few weeks back.  They are a great tv project when you need something easy to make that requires no real though.

Dog Bed

Well another doogie project from that scrap bag lol.  A bed (booster seat)  for the car.  Wool blanket top and fabric sides and base.  I have only stuffed it with old pillows at the moment until I get a piece of foam cut for it.

FNWF results

Well there was pizza for tea and I didn't even need to go and get it lol.  Had a great time too.

Firstly before tea I sat down and made about 20 suffolk puffs.  That brings the total to 245!  Might actually get this quilt made this year lol.  I wont bore you with pics.

Next I decided to make up one set of dog toys to see if Tess likes them before working on the others.  The fabric for them is from my Mum's scrap bag and some squeakers and rattles that I purchased online.  It only took two days and they arrived too.  Very fast.  So these are the first OPAMs for February.

Next I decided to start a new project from the latest copy of Inspirations.  Called Royal Blue by Trish Burr, it is an Australian Fairy Wren.  We have these wrens in our garden and they do turn a splendid blue like this one during mating season.   I think I will frame him when finished.

Well had better get a move on and hang out the washing, walk the dog and do some grocery shopping so that I can get back to sewing today lol.  Going to be perfect weather to sit outside and stitch too.  Nice and cool!

PINTREST

Who know's much about pinterest or whatever it is called.  Don't know how I came across it but googled my blog address to open it up in a different browser and up pops my Magnolia project in pinterest lol.  It doesn't matter but how on earth would it have ended up on there with my blog addy too.  I don't have much to do with these sorts of sites so don't really know how they work.
