Obsessed with Embroidary
OK so first im obsesssed with sewing and mending, then making, then fabrics, HUGE obsession with fabrics! Then embroidery. I love it. I love that I can 'write' anything, it always looks so beautiful. I love that I could have my cushions in peoples homes. I love my new design, ive named it 'and then there were.....' cushion. Totally my idea, have searched the net and dont think there is anything with this exact concept. Really pleased and absolutely love it in my old house :-)

A business woman
Im a business woman! Not making any money as such, but hey, im getting there. Ive opened a new ebay account for the Sewing Croft http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/thesewingcroft and listed my items on there. I am also mastering zips, not as difficult as I first thought and made this little bag
Im rather pleased that a good friend of mine, who is also a crafter - www.greenheartgifts.co.uk would like it so its all hers. Def going to make some more, they are very useful. Ive also just finished this heart and keyring package

Fingers crossed

Sunshine, Sickness and Hangovers!
Its been a week since I last blogged and I have been so conscious about it. I have been very busy with facebook. I have been 'hiking' my likes. Up until a week ago I had absolutely no idea what that was and im still trying to get to grips but whatever im doing must be ok as I now have 147 likes - woooooo! ;-)
Had a really good weekend, friends for dinner on saturday night, childless friends - soooo nice! I do love my parent friends but the problem with that is a house full of kids at 9 oclock at night, not always ideal. My friend thought it hilarious that to this day, I still am not exactly sure what time to pick up my daughter from school, I know its between 3.15 and 3.20 so I aim for 3.15 and cant go wrong, she thinks im the most scatty mum ever. The night was full of much needed merriment....I then spent the whole of sunday with a rather awful hangover. The weather in Wiltshire this weekend has been lush. The children have played their hearts out in the garden, getting covered in mud, climbing the trees and shouting and screeching as much as possible. Luckily, we dont really have any neighbours so they are very LOUD children! Rather useful not being overheard tho, I can shout as loud as I want too ;-) Oh, just remembered, Sunday morning, up at 7am, stonking hangover, husband up at 9am (my choice to get up) within half an hour he was sick all over the passageway floor and had to be ushered off with a migraine. Now, for those who dont know me, I really CAN NOT under ANY circumstances, 'do' sick. I cleaned it up, after heaving so much the children thought I was ill, I cried, made the most peculiar noises to stop myself from heaving, something akin to child birth, not to mention what the wretching was doing to my bladder. Anyway, I survived, the kids are in doubt how I feel about sickness and husband was fine by the afternoon. Today, is the usual housework day, which I skipped and sewed a new heart keyring and then networking my FB page. Come Dine with Me is now starting so time for me to be off. Lots a love, Zoe

A long day sewing!
I have been waiting for today for 2 weeks! Son was at nursery until half 3 so I had 6 hours - bliss! By 9 oclock this morning I was already feeling shattered with him. Boisterous is just not the word! For instance... I am ashamed to admit that we were evicted from a childs soft play centre last weekend, I mean really! A childs soft play centre? Darling son was on a hitting frenzy of every boy he could try and get the attention off! He was play fighting, it just didnt occur to him they A, thought he was a baby B, was busy playing with their friends and C, didnt like being hit, no matter how playful. The manager said very politely we should call it a day, mind you, we had been there over 3 hours.
Anyway! Did all the usual boring household stuff yesterday so today was a solid sewing day. I finished off the ipad case a friend asked me to do, then packaged and even could peel off a stamp from another envelope - thrifty ay? Promptly forgot to take a pic of the completed item, Sugar Honey Ice Tea!!! Altho not perfect, I was so pleased with the finished result, could kick myself. Def going to make up some more with a view to adding to the crofts stock. Anyway, im sure she will send some pics when its received, I even handsewed her name into the inside front band, and used velcro - woooooo! lol
Anyway, I then completed a childs high chair seat recover, was an interesting project as had ties to the sides and bottom and was a seat and back piece so shapes were odd, managed to do ok, have to wait and see what the 'customer' thinks (who is actually is a friend of a friend). Just finished some fabric letters to hang on the wall as well. Have had a few messages via facebook for the hanging hearts, which im pleased about.
