What a day.
Early start this morning as Mike was going skiing. Luckily Dave took him and his mate so I got to stay in bed after I woke them both up.
As soon as I got downstairs I started working. First brought in a pile of cross stitch patterns and magazines from one of the boxes I brought down from the loft yesterday and started going through them. What a lot - and so many that have never been worked. Found some part started and some finished and tucked between the pages of the magazines.
The small finished ones I've put on one side, may frame them to sell at the craft fair, this will get rid of them and hopefully make a little money too. Win win.
The part finished ones, if I could find the pattern I've put into a smaller box and the kits that haven't been opened or started are put aside and I may sell them as kits either at the craft fair or on Ebay. Found some pattern books too.
Looked on Ebay and found out that their is no fee for items listed this weekend so here we go. I've listed 17 items so far and I'm just waiting for some photo's to upload to put some more on. Everything I've posted so far has been viewed already and a couple are being watched. So fingers crossed I will sell a few - even half would be nice.
Sorted through all my sewing patterns, and again don't think they'll get made, most of them are no longer my size so I'm going to make an album of them and put them on Facebook in the sewing, knitting and crochet page and see if anyone wants to buy them as the ladies on there do like buying patterns from each other.
All the ornaments and pictures I've collected up from round the house have been bubblewrapped and boxed ready to go into the loft and the box of fabrics is ready to go down to the studio to be sorted and put away/used.
Arranged collection of the charity shop stuff in the porch tomorrow afternoon so that will be gone too.
Written all the order forms to take out the Avon deliveries tonight and got all the books ready and now it's hammering down with rain and I really don't feel like doing it. Hope it dries up soon.
Dave is asleep in the chair and Sarah is working on the decoupage box she's making for her friend Hannah's birthday, will post a pic if she'll let me. Mike is playing on his DS upstairs but has his homework to do before bed.
Still working my socks off and haven't stopped all day. No sign of stopping either but it will be a job well done.

Haven't been down in the studio as much this week as I've been trying to get things sorted in the house. I've finished decorating the kitchen and I'm starting to get things back in.
At the beginning of the week Dave suggested having a clear out of pictures and nic nacks to streamline things a bit. To anyone who's been here you can stop chuckling now.
So I've been around the house and collected up odd bits, cleaning shelves etc. as I go. I now have several boxes and piles of stuff in the lounge waiting to go up into the loft. Dave went into the loft today and sorted out some piles of stuff in there, the upshot of which means that we couldn't use the bathroom for most of the afternoon as it was full of boxes and bin bags all pulled down from the loft to get sorted out, these trickled into the lounge.
I've sorted old duvets (and one that looks brand new), old lounge cushions and clothes (waiting for the charity shop) and clothes I'd forgotten about which are waiting to be tried on and washed ready to go into the wardrobes.
Sarah decided that this would be a good time to clear out the china dolls and bits on the shelves in her room. These have been bubble wrapped and boxed ready to go to the loft as she doesn't feel ready to part with them yet but is determined to get her room all sorted by the end of the six week holiday so she is clean and tidy to start her GCSE's in September with a working desk and shelving for her books.
There were two boxes with cross stitch, both fabrics and kits (started and not started). One contains lots of magazines which are going to be got rid off soon. One box full of fabrics which will be sorted and taken down to the studio and a bag full of dressmaking patterns which I'm going to be selling off as they probably won't get made as they're too small.
So at the moment, the porch is stuffed with bin bags ready for the charity shop, the lounge has boxes of nic nacks waiting to be wrapped and stored and fabrics to be taken to the studo. The house now looks totally stuffed again but it is a means to an end and within the week should show improvement. Fingers crossed.
Oh and there's a pile of ironing waiting to be put away. Will work on this lot while Mike is at his party tomorrow.
But this week I have finished the tote bag I was making and I've made another Colette Sorbetto top which I'm pleased with. I went to quilt group on Wednesday and made an applique panel ready to be included in the front of a new bag for my cutting mat. Just need to make a panel of patchwork to go either side of it to make it big enough for one side of the bag.
Got all the washing and ironing done too - as at Thursday but got more to do now.
I'm helping out at school with Art's week this Wednesday and Thursday, clay and spoon puppets and Wednesday night I'm doing tie dying with Explorers at the scout hut. Dave will be away overnight for another interview so will get some time to myself for the first time in ages.
Going to be a bit of a crazy week but that's how things go.
If I survive it I'll write again later.

Friday 14th June
Well - how can it be Friday already.
Had a great day on Tuesday with a visit from Beverley who camped out in a corner of the studio to work on her rag rug while I worked on an order for a book bag and notebook. Thought I'd try and get a little production line going for the notebooks so I didn't have to keep changing the foot on the machine.
While we were 'working' the post arrived and my lovely hubby brought it down to me - only because he was being nosy as there was a rather large parcel. Didn't tell him what was in it.
Yippeee... it was my order from DayStyleDesigns in America. I love to follow the machine quilting instruction from Leah Day on YouTube. I have learned so much from watching her lessons and it has given me more ideas and confidence. If you want to see her try out the following link to lesson number 1.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=quilt+along+%231&oq=quilt+along&gs_l=youtube.1.1.0l10.4445042.4447279.0.4449060.11.9.0.2.2.0.230.1004.4j4j1.9.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.fuRh9l1hPpU
She uses the same sewing machine as me for most of her lessons so I can't say "well she's got a much better machine than me". Basically if she can achieve it, then with practice I should be able to too. I have already seen an improvement.
She uses a tool called a Supreme Slider - a teflon sheet with a hole in it for the needle that goes over the feed dog and creates a flatter slidey surface for machine quilting. By not dropping the feed dog the stitch tension for free motion quilting is much better and the finish on the back is better.
I tried to buy a Supreme Slider at Malvern and only found one stall selling it. Cotton Patch had one for £67.95 and it wasn't even the big queen sized one. On Leah's website she does an Ultimate Quilting Kit which has the Queen sized slider, a pair of Machingers Quilting Gloves and a pack of Genie Bobbin washers (teflon washers to go under the bobbin to make it turn more smoothly) all for $87.00 plus postage. Which means that the lot including postage was under £55.00. Bargain.
The sticky side of the slider basically STINKS. But when adhered to the machine base/acrylic table the smell disappears.
Well - the work now glides without effort under the needle making the movement of the fabric for free machine quilting a dream. Think I'm going to love it. As it blocks the view of the bobbin it can be a bit of a surprise when it runs out but then the quilt itself will block it anyway so what the heck...lol
Got the bookbag finished while Bev was here and the fronts of four notebooks. These were all finished off on Wednesday with just the buttons to stitch on which I did Thurday.
Thursday I drove over to Hobbycraft to get some more felt as the stuff I bought from the range was very thin and wasn't cut to size properly, it will be fine for the embellishments but not for the main body of the book.
When I got back I put the fabric away and while I was down there I had an idea for the cover of an A5 book. At the moment the pieces of felt I have been buying are not big enough to cover a larger book so I though I'd try colour blocking it. I am sooooo pleased with the result.

I also made a ribbon page marker with a tab at the bottom and this is on an A5 book with plain paper inside.
Red shoe with satin bow
Black silhoutte lady with hat
Black Cat
Upside down Batman book for Abi
Really pleased with these but think I need to be a bit more adventurous. I might try an A6 colour block as it worked really well.
Will be working on a larger tote style bag as and when I get back down to the studio.
Took the three bags and books to Slimming World last night and got paid.... yeah.... so nice to see some money coming in instead of going out. I have posted the new pics on the Facebook page with the prices and I've already had an enquiry as to the cost so need to get my finger out and try and do a little bit of marketing - get the word out and make sure my pricing covers my costs.
Daves got his interview today and we spent last night and this morning working on the presentation. Hope it goes well - I could do with more money to spend on my hobbies - but I admit I am enjoying making and selling things - just need to hone my ideas.
All ideas greatfully accepted.

Too late in the evening
Shouldn't post this late at night and especially not after a glass of wine - or two.
Found a space to lay out the Millennium quilt so no more excuses - just need to make the backing and get enough wadding and I'd like to get this ready to quilt over the winter - yes the 2013/14 one.
The jumper I'm doing is not going too bad - think I've sussed out the pattern now and I'm over halfway up the back. It looks small for the size it's supposed to be but I suppose blocking at the end will sort that out - the tension is OK.
Showed the girls at the shop how to make continuous bias binding this morning and it was like explaining how to walk on water. They'd all tried with instructions and failed and it was like little lightbulbs going off. Think I might still get the odd phone call though as they try and get stuck.
Bev is coming round to stitch in my studio tomorrow - not a lot of room in there as it's rather crowded but that could add to the fun of it. Need to finish the second bag for Lisa and the notebook for her daughter for Thursday so hopefully will get this done in time.
Sarah has done really well in her latest assessments at school and is very happy that I've let her drop Latin - even though there's only 5 weeks left in the term. She's had enough and the teacher is driving her nuts.
So 1/2hr lay in tomorrow.
Mad clean up in the morning as I've been nesting on the sofa again and then sewing for hours and hours and hours...lol

Another Update
Well..... good day today. Went to Slimming World tonight with my friend who joined tonight and managed, even after all the rubbish I've consumed, to lose 1 lb. Praise be.
Showed some of the ladies there the bags, books and tissue cases and sold a tissue case, and got orders for two bags and a notebook. Looks like I will be sewing again tomorrow - good news.
After realising that Dave had the car with my sewing stuff in this morning I decided to print off the PDF file for a top that someone had posted onto Facebook, dig out some fabric from my stash and try making it.
This mean printing out the pattern (25 sheets of paper) and checking that the scale was accurate. Then realising that it had printed double sided so I couldn't just match it up and stick it together. Luckily I had so pattern paper so traced it through. Well surprised that the pattern sizes meant I was cutting was a 16 and not the normal 18 or 20.
Very easy pattern, only two pieces and instead of facings the neck and armholes are finished off with bias. So spent the afternoon making the top and wore it tonight. It's really comfortable, and after lifting the shoulder seam by 1/2" and reducing the side seams at the top by 1/2" so the armholes didn't gape it fits really well, even the darts are in the right place. Well impressed. Will make again and try some variations.
Doesn't look that amazing but it feels really comfortable. With white linen trousers I think it will be really smart.
Got a lady coming to see me tomorrow and she wants me to knit a jumper for her. She has fallen in love with a pattern and some wool but thinks she'll take too long to knit it herself. Just got to decide what to charge for it.
Then need to start on the orders for bags and book covers. Life is picking up a pace a bit. Still got to finish decorating the kitchen. Glossing next and then the walls.
Dave has a telephone interview tomorrow so fingers crossed it goes well as this would give him a confidence burst.
When will I have time to do the housework.... oh well.... Crafting forever, housework whenever...lol.

June 2013
Sorry to all my readers (Bev) I have been very remiss in posting on here but so much has happened since Feb it has got quite daunting to try and catch up so here's a start.
The Elephant bag mentioned in the previous post finally got finished but only two weeks ago. But it's done and I'll probably add a picture later in the post as this will probably take all day (on and off) to post.
Got to do the school run in a minute and then intend to go straight to the gym for an hour. Yes I've finally pushed myself and got back to the gym and once I get there I enjoy it, it is just the thought of it that holds me back. But I'm managing three times a week now. After the gym I'm going straight up to B&Q to get some more paint (unless I wimp out and do the gloss first), to repaint the kitchen walls. At a quick glance they're OK but any closer inspection shows that they desperately need repainting. Dave has done the ceiling this week, as it needed several coats and I've been out quite a bit or hiding in my sewing room.
We had the lights changed a couple of months ago and where the old lights were taken down it left big dirty marks on the ceiling - but they're all gone now.
Now Dave is not working at the moment I'm trying to come up with some ideas to make a little bit of money to help out. Sarah's school is running a craft fayre at christmas at which I thought I'd have a stall, and that led me to think that maybe I should look into having stalls and selling some of my work.
I still have some cushions left and I can make more but they are quite labour intensive and I could also do with some lower priced items to to pull people into the stall.
I have made some little tissue cases with keyring holders which I hope to be able to sell for about £2.50 and in fact have been asked for one already. I also made myself a little book bag to carry all my books to Slimming World and another of the ladies has asked for one, which I made yesterday and will take to her tonight. I have sat and worked out the instructions for the bag as I made the first one by playing with some spare fabric and needed to work out what I'd done so I could reproduce it - made a second yesterday before writing out the instructions and I think I undid as much as I sewed - serves me right - but I got there in the end.
Well since the last paragraph I've done the school run and been to the gym for an hour and that's really what's life's like at the moment.
I made a lovely notebook cover for myself from a kit I bought at Malvern quilting show it's got an owl on it. Got the idea to make some notebooks covers for the craft fayres. Started with a cat one and then a xmas tree, after some input from the girls on Facebook I've made a couple with 50's style ladies on. One of those has sold already and I'm posting it out today. So excited - how sad is that, I've created my first invoice on Paypal and been paid for something I've made and someone else values enough to pay for. How sad is that.
Just need to get more creative and carry on with things.
So here come some pictures (sorry Bev you saw these yesterday at quilting).
The lady in the Blue dress is the one that's sold and will be posted when I get showered and sorted out.
There will be more designs but I think I'm going to need to keep a note of the different ones and name them so I can find them again. In other words I need to get myself organised.
I've also spent a lot of time in my sewing room lately - painting some of the mismatched storage so they now all match and having a major clearout, getting rid of empty boxes and some of the craft stuff that I don't think I'm going to use, these will go up to school to the art department.
On another note:
Mike went to his first cub camp in ages and had a really good time, the weather was fab and he got to have a go at lots of activities, including abseiling, rock climbing, archery and swimming.
In April Sarah and I went to the opening of Guthrie and Ghani the sewing shop opened by Lauren from The Great British Sewing Bee. While we were there we met a few of the contestants from the show and they were really friendly.
Sarah and Ann (Winner of the Great British Sewing Bee)
Sarah and Tilly - one of the contestants.
The shop is really pretty but it was absolutely heaving with people and took over an hour to get to the till.
After the shop we met up with Michael and David and went into Canon Hill park for a drink while Mike played with a remote control car.
So that's a bit of a catch up. I need to photograph the Elephant bag and the changes to the studio but need to get on with something now. Think I need it to be a shower first...lol
