Happy belaited mothers day

For mothers day i made my mum a cross stitch picture saying home is where your mum is on it. I got all of the charts from the cross stitcher magazines (that i love) and put them together to create this, what i think is cute mothers day gift. I am happy with the outcome and after picking it up and putting it down a few times it took me just a week to make.

I also made these mothers day rosettes for my Nan and Mum, i decided to make these after seeing them on another blog, they was £40 to buy and as i was wanting to go with the whole hand made theme i decided to make them myself. I am happy with the outcome of these and think i will make some more in the future, for birthdays etc.

Just some pictures of the mothers day gifts and my cute quinea pig Maggie (fat Maggie) sporting her bow tie and some mr potato head glasses. (The pictures arnt the best as i have miss placed my camera so they have been taken on my crappy phone camera).

Things Are Looking Up.

On another note, i keep saying that i am going to start blogging more frequently, although i want to i seem to forget and get to distracted, then i remember weeks later.

I have been making a few things lately, quilts, tea cosies, head dresses, mothers day presents.
I am recently in the middle of sewing a hexagon patchwork quilt for my room, and one for my little cousin Mia.
I am also making head dresses for my mum and aunties morris dancing troupe, and a mothers day present that is nearly finished thank god.
Even though i am getting things done i am still a bit gutted that i didn't finish the Christmas tea cosy in time that i started for my boyfriends parent (i will finish it for this Christmas i am sure of it, as i only have a quarter of the design left to sew).

Heres a few pictures to update you on what i have been doing.

My progress on the Christmas tea cosy.

The start of my new hexagon patchwork quilt.

Letters i decided to use for my cross stitch mothers day gift.

Maggie my guinea pig (aka fat maggie), wearing a bow tie i made her, she looks super cute and loves it.

I have been taking regular pictures of the things i have been making, so now i need to start blogging more often without getting to distracted and forgeting.
