Mission accomplished!

What a project! I have to laugh at my major imperfections! It was one of those "just give it a go & don't over think it". It's some pretty interesting sewing! For a first timer it was great to just get into it & work out what sewing machines are all about! There is also a real zen about it.

I look forward to joining a group & learning some finer details!!

Pillowcase 1 - tick!

Far from perfect! However I'm pleasantly surprised! Ok mmm coffee and let's keep sewing! Aim is really tonight to finish as tomorow I have a super busy day. :)

More planning then the big step!

Yesterday was abit of a house keeping day, and still thinking mmm how I'm going to pull this all together.
Today I've laid it out and locked in my plan of attack. So the only thing left to do is to get in a sew! I'm nervous about the amount of fabric and keeping straight lines!
Well tonight we will see!!
Hope everybody's Monday is kind. Mine started abit early & rough. Pleasantly surprised with a girlfriend who arrived with coffee & lunch what a precious gem!! Thank you Jane ;)
Now I'm feeling quite centered that my plan is going to get my sewing on track!
We have an awesome week ahead with an amazing event we have been waiting 8months for!! Will keep posted! ;)

Sick lil dude...

Our poor lil guy has been pretty sick all week & last night & today have been the worse. Sooo off to our fantastic Chiro at Bayside Chiropractic. Some drops and on our way to recovery. No sleep today, so no sewing as yet... That's ok I've been doing some next step planning!
I think the lil guy is having a marked improvement as he is climbing everything possible & chatting in his little harmonious ways!
Let's pray tonight brings some sleep & healing in our house :)

The project

About a year or more ago I thought I'd make a doona cover. I found some great fabric and then we moved house & then & then!

Now this actually coincides with an art project for my course. So off I go!

Well the best part of this is that working out the quickest most effective way to get the result with in a reasonable price to!

After realizing I didn't originally get enough fabric for the cover itself I struck upon a great buy of a doona cover & sheet set. Got to love myer crazy half price sales!

This is the my canvas.

Will keep posting :)

Getting started & keeping momentum!

Hello,
Mmm lost in translation again with lots going on. However that's what life is about :). So no need to inform of the itty gritty stuff that can turn u upside down but to share with you a project that I am going to complete in 6days well now I put it out there really that's heaps of time! I'm determined to work around the bumps in life & get it done. Back to my no excuses! :)

Turn the page, there is a sparkling new one!

Okay I've been abit off radar or as I say "lost in translation"!
Lots going on sad stuff, happy stuff, hard stuff & lots of life stuff that's been too complex to put in words. However sometimes it's a matter of going with things trying to not decipher to much & trust that at some point you will just simply work it out... If that makes sense....

I had a fabulous job opportunity offered to me, which was an honor & then here comes the butt! Well reality and some real hard look at aspects of my life right now it's just not the time & deep down in my gut I could feel this. So I've not accepted what would have been a fantastic opportunity & decided to turn into another fantastic opportunity to really focus on another exciting project that I need to believe in myself & getting the wheels & wings on it!
A new look today thanks to Lou & Steven at Toni & Guy (Cronulla), I'm on my way! Must say these guys are awesome at hair :)
