Show & Tell - Happy Crochet Colour
Hi Everyone,
Now that it's August, doesn't it feel a bit like it's all downhill from here to Christmas?? Seems bizarre but it does to me and I've started some preparations to avoid the craziness that comes with October, November and December... What's your strategy?
This wee crochet bag was such a fun and happy project to work on for another little birthday girl.
Complete with pom-poms and beads and bells, it got the stamp of approval from my girls :)
The winner of July's giveaway is... Cait! Congrats to you, I'll be in touch soon to make arrangements : )
For August we have a wonderful new giveaway sponsor, yay! Lisa from Big Little has offered one of her patterns as our giveaway prize this month. If you're not familiar with her amazing goodies - head on over and check it out! They are stunning creations and if you link up during the month you'll go in the draw to win one of her patterns!
So go on and link away! Looking forward to being inspired by your awesomeness!

A blue one
Following on from my trend of showing a sheet a week... here is a blue retro sheet found at the same time and place as the pink ones from last week...
Double size and gorgeous! (It's much more "blue" and vibrant than the photo's suggest!) May be the backing for H's quilt when I get there one day or something else perhaps?!
I'm sure you are getting the idea of why I was so freeking excited about these finds - all in one day!
One more to come next week. Wish me luck as I hope to find more goodies in the meantime : )
Joining in with awesome Max.

Show & Tell - A Tilda Ballerina
Oh hello there Lovelies!
Welcome back to July's final edition of Show & Tell. The months just keep storming by!
This wee ballerina was made back in April. For a girly birthday girl who loves to dance.
The ballerina was from Tilda's Fairy Tale Wonderland and very enjoyable to make.
Lots of little details and my girls loved her and of course want their own.... one-day!
Today is the last day to link up to be in the draw to win July's giveaway: Stich Zakka. A gorgeous book filled with lovely sewing and stitching projects and some embroidery cottons too. Linky closes next Wednesday and winner announced on Thursday!
Thanks for stopping in - you guys are the bestest!
Looking forward to seeing your makings!

Retro vintage sheet score
I'm still slowly pottering on putting together and making more blocks for the Modern Sampler Bee Blocks from last year. I have one more block to make before I can put them all together to make a quilt for my big pink loving girl - whoohoo!
As such I have been keeping a very keen eye out for a lovely pinkish sheet to be the backing... but no luck, no luck, no luck, until the other week...! Two days later I on a whim popped into the local Sally store and I just about pee'd my pants when I found these!
Perfect! They're single/king single size flat sheets. One a bit more worn than the other but overall in fantastic shape. I am still slightly giddy that I finally not only found the type of sheets I've been looking for forever, but that it was perfect for the quilt!
There were a few other items in this haul that added to the extreme excitement of the trip but I am saving those for the next couple of weeks!
Joining in again! with marvelous Max.
