Its been a while, I know. Kind of been busy doing the other things (working, housework and most importantly, being a mum to my three kids). Who ever said it's gets easier as they get older, I seem to do nothing else but play taxi - bring on the drivers licences I say.
Anyhow, I have managed just a few things in the last couple of months and thought it was time to share.
Firstly, a birthday bunting. I've taken a liking to these just lately as they seem to all the craze on the Internet lately. The fabric is just good ol' Spotlight fabric, I think it's come up a real treat. A really good friend of mine, Tamsin cut me a perspex template which made things so much easier. The letters I printed off my computer on to paper, in which I then transferred onto thick card and cut out with a scalpel, the best thing now is I can easily use the templates over and over. And, then the best part, I done Blanket stitch around them, it's the first time I've ever done it on my machine (I'm usually one for the good ol' hand stitching), but I thought it came up quite well.
So here we have it...
