Nobody puts baby in a corner..

Ok, it's a line from one of my all time favourite films :)

But it has been true this past couple of weeks!

I've been working hard on a tutorial using my new GO! baby - promise!

I had made this 'hot air balloon' mug rug for the 2011 Goodie Swap

and felt inspired to make some more:)

If all goes to plan I'll be able to post the tutorial next week.

Maybe I'll put on the 'Dirty Dancing' DVD and sing along as I quilt ;)

What's your all time favourite film?

New arrival

I just have a couple of photos to share with you today.

This past weekend has been hectic in our house -

School half term and general Halloween madness is not conducive to sewing!

I got an old chair reupholstered this week, it really was in a sorry state

and I wish I had taken a 'before' photo of it.

This is the 'after' photo:

I had picked some tartan fabric in terracotta and green and am so delighted with the way it turned out. I had considered attempting to do it myself, but am so glad I didn't even try!

I did make the little Scottie dog to go with it using the pattern found here, I gave him a little leather collar and named him Hamish!

Yesterday saw the arrival of another new addition to our house:

oh yes! a GO! baby!

Things may be quiet here for a while - I've got a new baby to look after;)
