Back into the studio at last to finish making the cushion for the Christmas Fayre at the park on December 1st.

I've tried twice to get into the studio this week and on Tuesday I had to go an collect Sarah from school as she was sick and Thursday I had to collect her again and take her to A&E when she had an accident on the vaulting horse at school so again no sewing.

Finally managed to get into there today after dropping Mike off at school and began cutting up the back to the cushions and sewing.  Part way through I came up to the house and slipped over on the decking and everything that can hurt does.  Managed to get everything finished eventually.

Took the two butterfly cushion to school for Zoe to choose and she wanted the one with the white back so I'll put that away for her.

Teddies ready for the Sale table.

 Photos are a bit all over the place as they won't play ball.  I really need to learn to do this properly.

Photos wont turn around either so you'll just have to get a crick in the neck.  I've got about a dozen cushions finished now and if I get a chance I'll get some more done before the sale.  Hopefully now I'll manage to sell some of these.  I'll keep you posted.

Sorry for the long delay - lots going on.  Sarah has been poorly but she's now sorted (we think) so keep your fingers crossed.

I've been making patchwork cushion to sell at a Christmas Fayre and so I've been stitching lots and lots and haven't remembered to take my camera down to the Studio

I had two domain names bought for me for my birthday and I'm also trying to come up with some sort of a business plan using them to try and bring in some MONEY...

I recently did a commission for a Dragon in Red and White for a very brave lady who was dying and having terrible hallucinations.  After pulling out all the stops and getting it done really quickly I managed to finish it and it arrived on the day she died.  This has really hit me hard and I knew I wanted to record it on here and post pictures of the Dragon but haven't felt able to till now. 

She saw the Dragon (called The Protector) before she passed peacefully away and it has been buried with her so her is always protected from her demons.  Till makes me cry even just writing this.

Hope you like the pictures..

I'm so glad it made it to her in time and hope that it eased her passing having her protector with her.

Nuff said.


Sorry it's been so long.

Will take the camera and photograph some of the cushions will be available for sale at £15 each (including the pad)  Been to Ikea this morning to stock up on fleece for the backs of the cushions and the cushion pads.

Should be stitching now...

Bye
