Well i'm on the school holidays at the mo and I have been really busy! My sister, E, is getting married next week so I have been making candles for her wedding- these are cream candles in jam jars, made 36 some are scented with vanilla and some are not. I am really looking forward to the wedding and wishing them both lots of luck and love xx.
I also have been making some candles for my sewing sister, J, she has another stall this weekend and wanted some candles in cups so i have made her some, quite pleased with them but now i need to go round the charity shops to find some more interesting cups. I really hope the stall goes well for her because she desrves it as she works very hard. (This pictures is one of the rejects because i have sent them all- the wax cracked around the edges slightly.)
Last but not least we have knocked a wall down in our flat to create a work/sewing area so i have been busy painting and today we are fitting the carpet! T and I are learning lots of skills as we are doing a lot of it ourselves to save some pennies!
Today I did a quick project and I have made a bib for one of T's friends who have just had a baby girl, and I used the tutorial from the Sewshesews blog it was very easy to follow although I think I could have used a thinner wadding inside it. I really like the floral pattern with the spotty, both materials courtsey of Mrs H(part of my lovely leaving present!)
