More cases ....

You would think I would learn and measure at least 3 times before cutting, and remember to take account of the fact that the wadding adds in extra thickness .... But no .....luckily the iPad still fits in the case

And I even found a use for the one I made last week and it was too small ....it fits a different kind of tablet, not sure what but who cares if it fits :-)

Footstool

The footstool is now covered to match the chair, my only dilemma now is that it doesn't match the room so what should I do .... Redo the room or move the chair elsewhere?

Fork bows

How cool are these? Just found a tutorial on pintrest on how to make fork bows, they are so cute ... Will be using them to decorate the bags I have made :-)

See the bags look pretty with them on, hope the girls like them ..... Might have to do a pirate bag for steffi as pink would not go down well!

More Christmas crafts ....

I am not the only one to be crafting a the moment .... Someone else has stolen the corner of my table and rifled through the scrap bag to make presents for her teacher :-)


Christmas presents .....

 At last , I have finally finished some presents .... I keep starting things and then thinking of another thing to make before finishing the first ... Nothing new there though!
What are they ? Well you will have to wait and see if you are a lucky recipient :-)


At last ....

The iPad mini case I have been promising to make for a while ...... Despite my Friday night mistakes .... Must remember to always measure and never sew something after a Friday night g&t !!

This blanket is sooooooo soft

This has taken a while to finish ... I started it on my trip to the US back in May and actually finished it on the plane home, which was a bit late as I had seen Hathaway whilst out there ...... Finally did the finishing touches and packed it in a Christmas parcel tonight !
