Meanwhile, the creativity in this household continues. Helen sat down and sewed the other day. She asked for some fleece and then didn't bother me until she showed me her new bunny. I was well impressed. Long gone are the days where they dream up ideas and I end up bringing them to fruition. In fact, the tables have been turned a bit. Because I told Emily about pin toppers, and she made her first foray into their production the other day. I for one find they make my pin cushion a far more cheerful place to be.
And I continue to do some stitching. Satin stitch is my new best friend.
Tomorrow I am going to go to Staples and buy large envelopes in bulk. I have a lot of stuff that needs posting. A lot!

Eeeek! Satin stitching IS your friend. Because you are so good at it. I sincerely hope thats coming my way now you've got my hopes up and everything.
ReplyDeleteP.s. I think emily might be onto a winner there. Crafty little money maker me thinks.
I love Emily's pin toppers - looks like she's a natural! The bunny is really sweet and her outfit is wonderful, particularly the embroidered embellishment! That's two talented bairns you've got there! The embroidery looks amazing - someone is going to be thrilled!!
ReplyDeleteThe apples don't fall far from the tree in your house, do they?! What a talented pair of young ladies, Helen's bunny is adorable and Emily's pinwheel pins are sa-weet! You go girls! =)
ReplyDeleteOK sneaky- I saw your mosaic in the mouthy group- am wondering when the ball gets rolling to sign up!
ReplyDeleteOK....I want them all!!! You are being so very sneaky!!!
ReplyDeletebrilliant bunny! And you are such a tease!!!!
ReplyDeleteTease ;o) Well done to the girls though, at least someone made something to share ;o)
ReplyDeleteEmily clearly shares her mother's talent - love that bunny! Your stitching is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThe girls are doing very well, I'm impressed - lovely makes from both of them! Your hoop is looking okay too.... lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a talented lot you are. I know you're going to announce mouthy stitches tomorrow when I'm out and can't get on the computer. I will return home to find all the places are snapped up. At which point I reserve the right to sulk in the corner like a four year old.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to swap kids ? Miss P doesn't have a crafty bone in her body and it drives me a little mad. Maybe the craft genes have skipped her entirely! I lay awake nights worrying about that.
ReplyDeleteOK is the map Transylvania?
I'll sulk in the corner with Jan.........
ReplyDeleteCreativity abounds! Come on, put us out of our misery, especially Jan!
ReplyDeleteIf X marks the spot it's not mine....wish I were better at English geography!

ReplyDeleteI am moving house tomorrow... to wherever that arrow is pointing.
ReplyDeleteI will also effect a Change of Name Deed, if necessary.
I love your girls' projects! I was asked recently for some fleece as well - but I had to sub in flannel and a teddy bear was born (hand sewn, of course, while we were machine-less!)
ReplyDeletelove that your girls are learning
ReplyDeleteThose girls are very talented, like their mom.
ReplyDeleteLock up your fabric stash - the girls are coming!
ReplyDeleteI never could master the satin stitch - love the girls' creations. What a clever bunch you are!
