My Creative Space - Moda Floor Cushion

Last time you saw this cushion it was a work in progress. I am happy to say I finally finished it! Anya is so pleased and loves to sit on it for reading and watching ABC kids! I think her brother likes the colourful fabric but he regretfully gets 'shoved' off by his big sister any times he tries to use it! ha ha I may need to make him one too! Any good boy material recommendations along the same style as Moda?



For good crafty inspiration visit Kirsty's.

Liberty

I really have been thinking what is all the fuss about Liberty (fabrics) at $50AU p/m? Then after seeing Gret's fab brooches and running my hand through a roll at my favourite local fabric store, I had a proper look at their fabric range the other day - hmmmmm - I could be converted :-) The first image is my favourite fabric. I didn't realise Liberty did a whole range of other things too!



Loving this sample pack my cousin picked up at a gorgeous store in Sydney. Are you a Liberty fabric fan?

Snuggle up in Amy Butlers organic bedding!

Hmmm, it certainly was snuggling weather this weekend!! I would be happy with any of this bed linen to snuggle under, they are 100% organic too :-) Amy Butler you have done it again!

A little package arrived from Sth Africa

I posted this beautiful tea towell as a Friday Favourite a few weeks back and it turns out my sister thought it would be a good birthday present - so last week I received this lovely package in the post all the way from Sth Africa!



I actually can't decide now if I want to frame it or use it! ha ha Our rental kitchen is a revolting mix of - pale aqua bench tops teamed with pinky coloured cupboard doors - which makes me a little queasy every time i am in there... so maybe the little birdies might end up adorning a wall somewhere else?..... Heather from Skinny Laminx included a lovely little note & badge! In my books, attention to detail in packaging is almost as lovely as the package itself.

Lovely ribbons and material

How lucky did I feel this month to have been given two lots of goodies from two lovely ladies who wanted to clear out some things they no longer had use for! I got some stunning fabric from Rockstars and Royalty the colours are good enough to eat and my friend's mum gave me the ribbons and lace etc. I have to sit on my hands for a bit because the creative in me wants to get lost in it all and MAKE but I have 'organising' type stuff to do for the markets - I feel like the prep has been going on forever and I am looking for the day just arriving now!

Moda & Amy Butler fabric

Last Friday I went to the Addicted to Fabric bag lady sale! It was 25% off if you are on their mailing list and then the sale continues over the weekend for 20% off all fabrics. How excited was I to get there and grab a bargain. It was still not cheap for 4m of fabric but all for a good cause - my sewing projects!! I had budgeted for it too (which makes our finance minister, aka husband - happy). The Moda fabric up top will be a skirt for me, using the Amy Butler A-line Barcelona skirt pattern and the Amy Butler fabric will be either a few cushions or the beautiful Gum drop pillow! Can't wait to get started.
