Right Now

I have just finished off more hearts for Crafternoon Tea on Saturday. 
These ones have a little Love bird theme.
I cannot seem to help myself I am drawn to little birds.



Off to market we go...................
Back In July I showed you the demolition of my spare room / craft room.
It is a long process when you are renovating yourself.
But the plasterer has been here the last 2 days and here is where we are at so far:


I now have 3 test pots of paint to try.
So next week we are painting.
The end is Nye.
Yippee.......

Hearts

I have picked up the needle and started sewing again.
I will confess a day earlier than I had planned. I just could not help myself.

Not long ago I bought a lovely cream wool blanket that has felted up beautifully to make Hearts.
One of the things I sell a number of are my Appliqued Hearts. 
I started making these to use up my blanket and felt scraps 
and they have just taken on a life of there own.
I stuff them with 100% wool fleece .
They can hang on doors, cupboards, decorate trees,
whatever you please.

A big heart will always be filled with love.

Tea Towels

One of the things I love about about road trips is that you get to check out op shops in other cities.
In Napier I found this lovely new Linen Tea Towel from Ireland for 99 cents.
I just had to add it to my collection.


Spring is here and the weather is changing...................yippee!
I am starting to think its time for a ladies tea party. 


I am still on a sewing free holiday. 
I have given myself 2 weeks of no sewing. 
I have all these ideas running around in my head. 
So Monday I will start sewing again as I am off to Crafternoon Tea on the 
17th of September 10-2pm at the Trinity Methodist Church Hall. 
Corner of Sandringham and New North Roads in Crafty Kingsland, Auckland City.

Take My Heart

My boys and I are having a holiday this week. 
Unfortunately I have come down with a terrible head cold.
I have been resting the past few days while the boys explore the beach, throw Master O's new boomerang around, ride there bikes and generally have fun.
I have not touched a sewing needle since Sunday instead I have been exploring other peoples blogs. 
What a great world we have out there.
I found this lovely song by an artist called Soko called

"Take my Heart"

 I thought I would share it with you.
