One of those days

Ever had one of those days where you should just give up?  Made this cute little robot to go on a white t-shirt today and it was really cute.  Firstly I ironed on the wonderweb on the wrong side of the fabric, twice, because Jake was yelling that he needed a poo so I rushed it.  I know I sound like an evil parent but he's been yelling that for three days.

Next I ironed the fabric onto the brand new pristine white t-shirt and my iron chucked out a load of black stuff from the steam holes.  Grrrr!

So I decided this one is going to be a tester and see how it washes etc.  Jake loves it anyway so he can wear it.  Some things are just not meant to be are they eh.

On a good note, we had a lovely big walk this afternoon and planted a geocache, exciting times.

Selling my creations

I've done it! I've opened a folksy shop and am trying to sell my creations.

I've not been able to have my sewing machine out for the past couple of years as Jake (my little dude) just wanted to destroy it or himself with it. But now he's two and a bit easier to handle so I've got a tiny bit more time to myself. It's so nice watching him pootle about in the garden, chasing the chickens, whilst I'm sewing at the table with the doors swung open.

So what is my stuff all about? I LOVE fabric! My beautiful friend, Simone, sent me over a load of fabric leftover from her quilting and I knocked up the first Goldfish Bowl Girl applique picture and decided to make a bag to put it on. I sent it to Simone but missed it so decided to make another one for myself. It got so many compliments from friends and family I thought I'd try to sell one. And so my Folksy shop was born!

So, in between clearing up porridge, wiping noses, saving the chooks and washing up, I'm busy at my machine and constantly looking at my email to see if I've sold anything yet. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
