Forgive me dear bloggers, for I have neglected to post for two weeks now. I have given myself over to the pleasures of sewing bags, embroidering sheep, quilting crowns, playing with clay and stamps and sneezing over lavender bags. I have not thanked Jeyco at I’m liking it! for sending me the most fantastic stuff via the One cool thing / One strange thing swap initiated by TJ at the Perfect Nose. I didn’t send out my parcel to the fabulous (and to me, slightly intimidating) Oonaballoona until this Monday. Forgive me, for I have been distracted.


For my penance I promise to refocus. I will make a proper start on the pj’s for Karen’s Pyjama Party (only one and a bit weeks left). Has anyone seen the fab board she has put together on Pinterest?? I will photograph the lovely fabrics sent by Jeyco and maybe propose what will become of them. I will show you what daughter no 2 and I have been working on. Yes, a bit of pattern cutting has made its way onto the table over the Easter Hols. Just a bit. And I will get making the bra I have promised to make for the past year! There is also a little pile of lovely stretch lace on the corner of my sewing table – inspired by Mary Portas’ Bottom Line, I bought some goodies from Gypsy Lace in Derby – online only.

Like I needed to buy any more fabric??? *sigh*
