Colourful Friday - Christmas

Red is a dominant favourite colour of mine and it shines through at Christmas!

The Tilda hearts I made last Christmas, while the teddies are dusted off to be displayed every year.

I think these fellows are singing 'I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas'............

Merry Christmas all and a big thank you to Robyn for hosting Colourful Fridays....it's been a rainbow of a journey!
Cheers....Jane.

Colourful Friday - Teal

Gosh this has been a blue/green adventure.....this is a box lid.

A piece of fabric that seems to be telling me it's bag material....

and I should have posted the other pics of the crocheted square...they all looked a different shade of blue!!

For some more teal visit Robyn @ Daisy Quilts.

Happy Colourful Friday...Jane.

Colourful Friday - Silver

A few sewing notions & a charm bracelet.

A bit of snapping in Miss J's room.

This book mark also belongs to Miss J.

I think this one is my favourite....it used to be a pot-pourri jar....now it's home to some shells. For some more Friday colour visit Bev @ Kainga.

Happy Colourful Friday....Jane.

 

Weekend Sewing

On the weekend I did a little bit more sewing to add to my 'Market Day' box.

Hard to tell in pic but the coasters are bigger than normal.

Now inside as it's raining on & off today....a couple of table runners.

It's always a bit hit & miss sewing for markets, but I figure if I sew what I like I can use it if I don't sell it!

Sweet stitching all...Jane.

 

Colourful Friday - Brown

We have quite a bit of brown zipping about our place at times....meet Dusty, our Cocker/Springer Spaniel cross.

A little bit of brown in a scarf & some in a tassel.

This little phone pouch I whipped up this morning and you can find the tutorial here.

The spotty cat was a gift from Santa when I was little.

For some more pics pop over to Bev's.

Happy Colourful Friday!!

Colourful Friday - Lavender

A little lavender colour in the garden.

Some lavender in sewing.

And that crochet hook is a dream to use....with some thick wool you can crochet a scarf in no time!!

For some more colour pop over to Bev's our host whilst Robyn is away (thanks Bev!!).

Happy 'Colourful Friday'...........Jane.

Weekend Sewing

I can safely say that this is for Mums Birthday tomorrow, as she doesn't have a computer :-)

My ironing board cover has seen better days...

So I got busy yesterday and made a new one.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Jane.

Colourful Friday - Pink

Ahh pink, isn't it delightful?

Salmon pink is one of my favourite shades to embroider Crinoline Ladies in.

Girly Pink.

Isn't it a great colour, so many shades to choose from! Don't forget to pop over to Daisy Quilts and check out some more pink!

Happy 'Colourful Friday'.

Colourful Friday - Halloween

The following is my attempt to turn everyday items into an eclectic mix of 'Halloween Colour' via a short verse.

Suspicion and shadows....

the dark and the light......

a little black magic......

sweet treats my delight!

For more colour visit Robyn.

Happy Halloween!!

Jane.

Colourful Friday

I've decided today that I would join in on Robyn's Colourful Fridays. The above is a bridesmaids dress I made and wore when my sister was married.

The crochet blanket in this lot of pics is my first effort at crochet some years ago!

A few of hubby's conduit and cables.

The flower in the centre of the pic is s a variety of Leucospermum...relative of the South African Protea. It does well here on the coast, surviving summers without water and attracts not only birds & bees!!
For some more colour visit Robyn.
Have a great weekend all......Jane.

 

A Gift

Mast N's last years primary teacher has recently had a baby. I decided to make her a little something and this is the result. I used to make these for my kids when they were little.

Sweet stitching....Jane.

Pillow Slips & Cake

I've been doing a bit of home decor sewing lately, making curtains for our bedroom last week and yesterday I thought I'd make some pillow slips, as mine are a getting a bit tatty.

Might have to whip up some more of these.

If you need to bake but you really don't feel like it, this is the cake for you! It a Green's English Tea Cake....yes a packet cake but if you tried it you wouldn't know the difference. I made the variation, Apple Cinnamon Tea Cake...Yummy!!

Sweet Stitching.....Jane.

A Walk On The Dark Side

I stepped out of my comfort zone making these EBCC gifts. Normally I prefer the pastel shades but, being a practical type of person, I though dark fabrics would suit these little bags.

Jelly roll strips make them quick to put together.

Using some leftover scraps I cut out a couple of key tags....Miss J tells me the ribbon is too wide (used what I had) and hubby said he didn't like the black edge....guess you can't please everyone!!
Happy Grand Final Day...Jane.

Shopping

This is my new 'lunch box'...well that's what it's called......

This is what I intend to keep in my new 'lunch box'.....

Not much sewing done on the weekend.....but I found these pastels which had to some home with me.....I had no choice really!!

Sweet stitching....Jane.

Pincushion & Pouch

After having a really nice day yesterday, Spring has returned today bringing sunshine, wind and rain. sometimes all at once!! Though it was a perfect opportunity to finish Pattie Pincushion.

Mr Bunny was created a couple of years ago...the Ipod Pouch I put together on the weekend. Miss J is pleased to have something to cart her Ipod in.

Sweet stitching...Jane.
