Where 'o' where have the past couple of months gone . . . i've been lost without internet access and can't wait to catch up on everyones' news and goings ons!

I wish I could say that i've been knee deep in bundles of fabric and design ideas but that would be a fib . . . . everyday life in the 'real' world had taken over but thankfully i'm working by way back to a healthy balance and can't wait to show and tell what I have managed to squeeze in . . . a few new cushions, some mini quilts and a Christmas A to Z Wall hanging to start . . . pop back soon for a peek!

~*~ Special Order ~*~

Hot off the production line is a lovely rose and sage version of my Wedding Keepsake quilt hanging ~ this has to be one of my favourite designs to make up!

It'll be a little quiet on the 'blog' front for a couple of weeks as I work on a batch of new designs and also get around to finishing off some loose ends . . . . need to get on the right track ready for the Christmas ranges!

See you soon x

Bundles of Joy Keepsake ~ New Baby Wall Hanging

Where have I been you may ask? I've had quite a lot of back orders to finish off and as usual 'life' has kinda gotten in the way ~ ohh to create full-time!

Here I share with you a wall hanging detailed with a design inspired by Nancy Halvorsen. The finished piece measures 12 inches by 16 inches and is adorned with cute little heart shaped buttons which are just so sweet.

Lovingly stitched this particular wall hanging will be making it's way to the proud new parents of little 'Elis Evan' next week . . .

~*~ A Gift for Grandma ~*~

A short-and sweet post today, with the promise of sharing my travels with you at the weekend - that's providing the weather stays fine!

Here's the latest addition to my 'Family & Fiends' pillow range . . . a Just for You original.

THE BIG CHEESE

Today's outing was set in the shadows of one of Europe's largest Castles ~ the town of Caerphilly.

Each year the town comes to life as people of all ages come to The Big Cheese to experience an extravaganza of street entertainers, living history encampments, music, traditional funfair, falconry and of course craft and gift stalls . . . come on you know me by now!!

The sun wash shining, the company was great and the day was a success all round - to top it off I got to meet up with the lovely Ellen and Jill of Shepherd's Moon who were keeping themselves out of mischief on their wonderful stall.

Ellen is the face behind Shepherd's Moon, a traditional cottage industry run from the hub of her home. Each hand knitted item is created out of yarn spun by Ellen and woven from the loom made by her grandad for her gramdma.

As well as Ellen's gorgeous finished pieces she sells knitting books and CD's by Katherine Misegades . . . Ellen's Mum!

Why not pay Ellen a visit and browse her on-line store www.shepherdsmoon.co.uk

~*~ Love is Homemade ~*~

I love how these mini quilt hangings have turned out, so much so I've taken the design (from the Love is Art to Art pattern book) and put something a little different together for a bespoke order of one of my applique pillows . . . pop back tomorow for an update and hopefully a preview!

Two of these little 'Homemade' hangings have been given as my PIF gifts . . . I hope they like them as much as I enjoyed putting them together and the sentiment behind them.

So what's on this weekend? A slightly slower paced one that last week sees my cracking on with the remainder of my outstanding orders today before I start the daunting task of putting together stock for an event I'm attending in the beautiful Abergavenny . . . more to follow on that at a later date!

Tomorrow, weather permitting i'm hoping to visit the 'Big Cheese' event in Caerphilly . . . bring on the sunshine.
