Bunting ( Big Fat Gypsy Style)

Well this week has been busy busy with lots of new courses to complete for my beauty therapy treatments and just a wee bit of sewing! I must admit sometimes I go in my room to sew and just end up staring out of the window and out to sea, I must learn to get used to the view but years have gone by and I still adore it! Anyhow I decided to make some bunting but wanted it a wee bit different and as being both my husbands and I's families are romanies i decided to go on the big fat gypsy theme! So have a look and see what you think!
Each length is 2m long and available to buy at £20 a length x

Wonderful Hubby!

Well I think I have the best Husband in the world, Last week he ordered me a new sewing machine and today it arrived!, Looking at it think i will need to take a degree in computers to understand it but I guess I will learn lol! Not only did he buy me a sewing machine though but also an overlocker too! So today he knocked me a new bench up to take my sewing machine Husqvana Sapphire 875q  because my old desk was way to small so it was time for a change around so what do you think? 

and finally I want to wish him a very Happy Birthday for today and say sorry I spoilt it by him having to hold my hand at thhe doctors then spending the rest of the day helping me in the workroom, I really do love you and appreciate all you do for me! xxx

Tractors, Tractors, Tractors!

Well today has been a day of tractors! What you may ask? Well it started this morning when I awoke to the sound of a tractor revving its engine outside, not surprising you may say considering you live on a croft but no this was the sound of a big tractor not a little one like ours! To my relief it was only our neighbour and good friend Michael who thought seen as it was such a nice day he would come and spread our muck on the fields for us, but not only one tractor but two , one to load the dung spreader too of course ! so deciding it was probably going to smelly  went to a trip to our Local tesco and picked up loads of bargains for a change. Lots of things to take to bits and recycle! lol.

Then having spent enough time away thought i had better get back and do something a bit constructive so I sat and made four cushion covers all with International Tractors on them! & they turned out pretty darn good! So here you are have a look and see what you think!

A Day of Surprises !

Well today I have had a day of surprises with firstly my doctor telling me I now have arthritis in my thumb joint
 :( so needless to say that did not make me very happy as my main job is as a beauty therapist and  it doesn't really go hand in hand with arthritic joints of my own! Then as if to cheer me up my very good friend Linda of http://coachhousecraftingonabudget.blogspot.com/ came to see me with her gorgeous daughter Leanne and we spent a great time discussing crafts and drinking tea it was so so good to catch up with them both! Then my husband tells me he has bought me the Husqvana Sapphire 875Q sewing machine! I could have kissed him to death lol . And to finish my day off  I had a brilliant evening with our good friends Tracy and Paul stuffing our faces with spare ribs and lots of wine! I mean what more could a girl want!

Have a look at this!

I have been following my very good friend Linda's blog ; http://coachhousecraftingonabudget.blogspot.com/, have a look you will be amazed some of the ideas she has are brilliant!
