Spring Is In The Air!

I walked into town this evening, and it made me feel so wonderful - such a lovely night, all fresh smelling and spring-like :D yay, I cannot wait for spring! I've had a lovely day today too, having not been at work. I had the third part of my dress making course, which is going really well, I'm so pleased with how my dress is turning out, (I bought the pattern from etsy - http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=6863287 - so pretty).

I have been making some lovely little flower brooches this week, to keep me perky on the dull grey days. I love the combination of colours and shapes... I can't seem to stick to making one kind of thing, I get so easily distracted!... And I'm now planning on making some pin cushion versions of these little flowers, ha.

Pin Cushions Galore

I have been taken over by something of a punning and pin cushion-making frenzy over the past few weeks, the result being a lot of very sweet (and slightly silly) pin cushions taking over our lounge. I find the cutting out of the letters a little stressful, being something of a perfectionist, but I love the sewing-on-the-ruffles part!

In other news, whilst shopping in a super shop in Bristol, I found the most amazing mugs I have ever seen! Look here http://www.emmabridgewater.co.uk/ProductList.aspx?cid=MUGBIR&language=en-GB

Lovely Sunday

I woke up feeling wonderfully productive yesterday morning, and spent a couple of hours cosily sitting in my bed, buried under layers of tickets, pictures, and bits of paraphernalia that I've collected over the past few years - to finally get round to the scrapbooking that I had been planning for months! My bed was an absolute mess, but I'm so pleased to have finally started sticking things in to my lovely scrap book :D
... Ok, that is an awful photo, but it does show a bit of the chaos quite nicely.

2008

I'm hoping that this will help me to keep track of all of the crafty and productive things that I do this year - as a means of staying productive! And also to keep track of all my super internet finds...
