Something New.

I recently started sewing on a new project. I have decided to make a teapot cosy for my boyfriends mum and dad for Christmas. It will be my very first hand made Christmas present, that I can remember (actually my second if you count the hexagon patchwork quilt). I haven’t got that far so yet, even though I started it about four days ago, but I did have to unpick quite a bit of it due to sewing it whilst watching the x factor , not concentrating and sewing one x to many, then getting really confused because the number of x's didn’t work out after it.

I cant wait to see the final outcome, I also cant wait for them to see it as they are always asking what I am working on. It would be nice to see a piece of my work in my own home but no one drinks tea so that isn’t going to happen.

Anyway I guess I should get back to sewing some more whilst I watch Kirstie's Handmade Britain =)

Happy Birthday To Me.

So it was my 23rd Birthday 13 days ago. I have only just got round to putting the pictures on my laptop of my amazing present my boyfriend got me =)

He got me the Kath Kidston Sew box I have been wanting for quite a while now =) I was so happy when I opened it, although I did kind of spoil the surprise, because he asked me did I have no idea what it was due to the shape then I guessed, that made me feel bad. Anyway I am so happy with it, and imp using it to keep my fabrics and sewing needles and cotton etc in when I am working on a project, (as I have all my sewing things etc in my work shed, that is far to cold to sit in).

I just love the little felt trees, the dog, and the flowers. Well I love it all =) I love it more because I already had the little house needle book by Kath Kidston.

On another note I have just started on another project, so I shall be posting about that a little more soon, along with some pictures.

I have the best boyfriend ever.
