THANKS for orders!!!

I just wanted to say thank you to all who placed an order with me for Stampin' Up! products (and those who encourage others to order from me). I have been able to reach the minimum amount required to keep my demonstrator membership active. Thanks again.

Sick for the Holidays

For those who don't know I have been sick for the past 2 weeks and went to the doctor on the weekend. Today the doc confirmed that I have microplasma pneumonia. I have been given 2 lots of antibiotics which will hopefully work.

When I checked the internet for information it indicated that people can take up to 6 weeks to get better so looks like I might be coughing for most of my holidays. Lucky me......at least I will have an opportunity to rest.

Finally some pictures of my sewing!

As I mentioned in my first post I have been giving the sewing machine a bit of a workout lately.....the first time it has been out of my cupboard for a while and certainly the first time for anything other than curtains and alterations to clothes.

The first thing on my list was a Pencil Roll.....I have to say that the inspiration for this came from Deb at the scrapbooking weekend back in April. I have now made a few of these. I decided to make the pockets big enough to hold 1 or 2 pencils or a texta or crayon.

Here are some of my other ones.

I also used one of them to store my crochet hooks and am thinking about making some taller ones to hold my knitting needles and paint brushes.

I will add some photos of the wet bags and shoulder bag I made when I can get my mother to part with them. She has been using the shoulder bag since I made it....and she has put in an order for a matching water bottle and umbrella bag.

Tonight I also tried my hand at making a tissue box cover ....and although I will make some minor adjustments to the next one I am pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you think? That's all for now.

Oh! No! What am I doing?

Kristie asked me on Thursday to send her the link to my blog.....but I don't have one. I then thought why not start one, after all I have been reading the blogs of Annette, Kristie, Debbie and Toni for a while now. So here it is.....Stamping, Stitching and Stuff!

The stamping....well that speaks for itself....thanks to Stampin Up! now the stitching.....well I must give a big thanks to Debbie.....I visit her blog frequently and all of her fantastic projects have inspired me to actually drag out my sewing machine....Thanks Deb! I have now made 2 wet bags, 2 pencil rolls and a shoulder bag for my mother. I also found a link to another blog and made a fantastic felt lunch bag with sandwich, chocolate roll, doughnut and packet of chips for my littlies in Early Intervention.

I will have to put the machine back into the cabinet now and get some stamping done....cause I have some new stamps that I haven't even used yet!!!!

And lastly .....Stuff!....well I thought that would cover everything else I decided to mention here.

Again thanks girls for your inspiration and creativity.
