My Creative Space

I have been super lucky to have been the recipient of some awesome op-shopped pressies lately. How amazing is this Smurfs sheet? Hmm... shame summer has waned as this would make a wonderfully sweet summer frock. If I continue on the same progress schedule as my Humfrey dress I may have something complete by then!
I have been working on a gift for a crafty gal (or her bubba anyway!), well done Kirsten, great procreation guys! I have also been drafting up some new toy patterns, I've been thinking of ways to use these snuggly wool blankets and I think I may have solved el problemo with Une elephant and wee Scotty dog.

As you can see in the background The blankie is still growing. Slowly.
Whats the longest-running project you've ever worked on?

Admitting defeat..

... is never easy.
Sometimes things just don't work out the way you may have wished.
My high hopes have been dashed. I spoke too soon and now I'm regurgitating a bitter pill I had to swallow last week. What should have been a romantic sojourn to le beach resulted in loosing the war.


I have admitted defeat. Somethings are just too hard so what can I do but shrug my shoulders and square them again once more to enter the battlefield.

Sigh. Oh well, tonight I'm gonna cozy up with my dog, fortify myself in my studio and give my neglected sewing machine some overdue love.

In a way, it's nice to have my single life back. Oh fee oh fie. Whats a gal to do but keep on sewing! :)
