Just a warning swear word fabric will be shown!!

I had an order for a toiletry/wash bag the other day, so I made a couple of extra ones for the shop.  Thought I'd share with you the fabric choices.  Both bags have a laminated cotton lining, so waterproof that I get from Dailylike Canada.  Very high quality fabric and well worth the money.

I fell in love with this fabric when I saw it, but didn't have any idea what I was going to make with it.  Just love how it all worked out, reminds me of the 1920's.

Now this one has swear words on it and says, "Where's My F**king Wine!"  Would be perfect for that wine lover in the family.  They both sell for $25 each, plus shipping if needed.  For more swear word fabric products click on this link.  I will be making more products using the fabric.
This is the one I made for a custom order.  The Llama fabric is so flipping cute, don't you think.

I also make all the zipper pulls myself.  So after not doing much sewing for the past month, I am back into it again.

If you want to see what else I make please click on this link for Appleby Lane.

I wasted four hours of my life.........

turning this:

into this:
 I will never ever use a skein of yarn as is, it must be put into a ball before I use it!!

I picked up this magazine the other week, I love it, it has so many great ideas in it.  You can get it in Chapters here in Canada:
 It came with a free kit to make a spotty dog key chain.  So I wasted an hour doing that...LOL
Did manage to get the closet doors finished, that has been a job and a half, due to my incompetence.  You wouldn't have thought I have been painting/decorating houses since we bought our first house when I was 18 years of age.  I swear I am getting more senile as I get older.

The other day Craig featured the following artist.  I had never heard of this guy before, but his is very talented:

Six Random Things About Me...........

I was reading George's blog and he had been tagged for the Six Random Things About Me meme, so I thought I'd play along.

1. I love chocolate, especially milk chocolate, but am picky about what brands I eat. I do not like cheap chocolate at all, and won't touch Hersey's Chocolate.

2. I am an early to bed, early to rise type of person. Will be in bed by 9pm, but up by 6am.

3. I am allergic to exercise.....who knew!!!! Got a great treadmill down in the basement, that reminds me, must go and dust it.

4. I must have breakfast every day, I will not skip breakfast. Generally it's a dish of cereal, occasionally I may have toast and jam.

5. I love going on holiday to the States, and have to say both me and dh are totally in love with Tennessee, its a super place, and the people are ever so friendly, as they are in the rest of the States.

6. I get travel sickness. When we flew to Britain I felt terrible from the moment the airplane set off until we landed. However I love flying. I am the same in the car as well though, so I try to sleep as much as possible. Dh encourages me to sleep, I am wondering though could that be, so I don't constantly "help" him with his driving????

So if you're a regular visitor to the blog, you've guessed it, if you're reading this, you're tagged!!! It's an easy one to do, enjoy!!

The teacup theory........

  Just reading what's on that picture makes you relax.  I love to hold my tea or coffee cup in both hands, and it does feel good. The im...
