<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Daughter and I went to visit friends in Colorado in July 2014. It was only a few days after our cat Tex had passed away so although it was great to see them, it was so soon after that I was probably not the best company. The trip had been prearranged and my daughter was looking forward to seeing her best friend, I couldn't let her down. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year, my husband and I completed a 20 year dream and got to visit the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. During our trip, we visited a local school that is supported by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and got to spend time with some truly inspiring children who touched our hearts and left us wanting to help them further. This school is the children's opportunity to be educated, learn English and make a better life for themselves.</span></div>

We are looking for help to raise the funds to publish this high quality hardcover photo-book celebrating Rwanda and it's gorillas. If we reach our goal 90% of profits from sold books go directly to helping to support schools helped by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We lost our beloved baby boy yesterday. It has hit us pretty hard as he got sick very quickly. We did our best to find out what was wrong and make it right but he was too weak to fight it. We are thankful that he passed peacefully in his sleep. He was only 6 years old. I miss his cwtches (cuddles). He was such a lover. My heart is very sad right now. I'm gonna take a break from here for a little while, I hope you understand.Sorry for keeping you waiting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Earlier this year my husband had to travel to India on a business trip. Before leaving he asked me if there was anything I would like for him to bring back with him. Of course my immediate answer was "FABRIC" LOL. I asked him to please get me approx 1 yard of at least 5 different fabrics. He did not disappoint. The fabrics he brought home were beautiful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a few sketches of ideas for quilt tops. I wanted to do a large pattern to allow us to enjoy the fabric to the fullest. I chose to machine quilt it as I was rushing to finish it in time for my husbands birthday. It seemed only fitting that this quilt should be his seen as he had picked out all the fabric himself.</span><br />

We took a little road trip with them while there through Yosemite and lake Tahoe. My friend is a quilter in fact she is the one that got me back into sewing. We stopped at a few quilt stores on our road trip route and I bought a few fabrics there that reminded me of our trip together. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I left the fabrics I bought on the road trip with my friend and she said she wanted to turn them into a quilt for me. Fast forward a couple of years and my friend has had a couple more babies and moved house too. I figured that my quilt was probably low priority in amongst all the hustle and bustle of family life so I chased up my friend and offered to take the fabric as is so I could try and finish it myself. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lucky for me she had already started the process at some point because when she sent them to me she had the blocks already assembled. Now it was up to me to sew them together. I had a few more fabrics in my stash that I had brought back with me back then and hadn't gotten around to doing anything with them so I pulled them out and worked on strips to break up the blocks to show them off more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then pieced together what I had leftover to make the back, including a strip of California fabrics that my friend had sewn together of all her remnants too. I used a different fabric for the binding along with a few of the smaller leftovers. I am over the moon with it and can confirm it is lovely and warm to snuggle up on the couch with. It was a joint effort across the country which I am so happy I got to do with my friend Lucy. Thank you Lucy xxxxx.</span><br />

We treated ourselves to another Lego set at Christmas. This one was a family project as there were thousands of pieces. It was lots of fun to spend time together at the dining table while sorting and building. The finished thing is now our dining table centerpiece and we get lots of comments on it from visitors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">April has been a tough month. I have been syringe feeding our guinea pig after he had to have surgery for gall stones. His recovery has been a long slow road but we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. With that in mind I haven't really done anything creative this month so I am sharing a forgotten post about the cushions I made my kiddos for Christmas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My son: I bought a pack of green fat quarters in various shades and I have some black fabric in my stash. My son loves mind craft and I thought it would be nice to make him a creeper cushion. I worked out a pattern in my notebook and cut out the fabric I needed. I used squares on the front but on the back to save time I used strips as it was the front that had the face of the creeper. My son loves it and sleeps with it every night.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My daughter: I couldn't leave my daughter out when I was making cushions. Her favorite animal is the panda and she loves the color pink. So I got a similar pack of fat quarters as I did for my son but this time in pink and found some awesome panda fabric online. I chose larger squares this time as I was not making a face and the finished cushion looks great in her room and she loves it too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Simple and not too fancy project. I got the idea from Pinterest. I had a 2 yard long piece of fleece. I folded it in half, right side in. Sewn down two sides and velcro sewn the length of the forth. For my son to store some of his cuddly toys in. He has so many and nowhere to put them. With the bag filled with soft toys he can also sit on it too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a nice and easy poncho idea I found on Pinterest (my new favorite friend). The post originates from Jo-Ann's I think. I am posting the pinterest picture</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to an old favorite. My mum loved the Christmas coasters I gave her a while ago but did not like that she had to put them away once the season was over and couldn't use them year round so I decided to make her another set this time with pretty spring flowers that she can keep out year round. Daffodils are the welsh national flower and tulips are her favorite. She loves them and the fact that she doesn't have to put them away.</span>Nicolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14893262642251146538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710519044871687891.post-37476785684243653142014-01-14T14:38:00.000-06:002014-12-05T14:38:58.482-06:00Tea Cozy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not sure if many of you will remember when I made my sister a carrier bag holder a little while back. I had more of the same fabric and wanted to make her a tea cozy to match. Most members of my family my sister and her husband included drink a lot of tea so it made sense. It was the perfect Christmas gift for them and they loved it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On our last visit to the United Kingdom to visit family, my niece gave me some fabric that she had purchased to make something with but had never gotten around to. She didn't have time to make anything with it so I wanted to use some of it for something for her. I picked two fabrics from what I was given and made a reversible bag for her. That way she could choose which fabric she was in the mood for and change it when she wanted something different.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A dear friend of mine had to move to Georgia this summer. before she moved, she had picked out the fabric for a quilt top. The plan was for me to teacher so she could make it herself. Then life took on a mind of its own and she and her family ended up moving before we could get started. The kids and I went to visit them during the holidays and I brought the fabric back with me. I put it together in my spare time and sent it to her in time for Christmas. I was able to piece the back together using 6 fat quarters and leftover fabric from the front of the quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While visiting friends in Evergreen, Colorado during thanksgiving week my wonderful friend took me here. It's one of the quaintest quilt stores I have ever seen. They didn't sell fabric unfortunately but all the quilts there were for sale and reasonably priced too. Needless to say I couldn't leave without getting one for myself. I forgot to take a picture of mine but as you can see I was spoilt for choice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently made a baby quilt for some friends (please see the post from July 26th 2013). While at the store purchasing the fabric for it I spotted a fabric panel that had the pages of a baby book on it and thought it would make a perfect addition to the blanket so I bought it then and made it to send to them for baby's first Christmas. It was perfect for him as it matched the blanket which his parents loved.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought 2 cheap fleece blankets from a local store. Cut each one into 4 pieces and sewed one of each sort together. I'm going to take them to our local humane society. One of our cats decided he was going to try them out in advance and it seems he approves. I may have to keep one back just for him :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I needed a break from all the sewing I have been doing lately. I decided to revisit an old love and make a few cards. The first one I made was from some stamped images I found whilst going through all the stuff in my craft room closet. I had repeated the image a few times with the idea of doing this ages ago, I just never got around to it till now. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We took a trip over to the UK to visit family and I took it with me so I could keep working on it. This also allowed my dad to get a sneak peak of my work in progress. I even had the chance to sit under the shade of a tree by a stream on a beautiful day in the fabulous grounds of St. Fagan's castle in Wales. One of my favorite places to visit when I go home. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought some cheap travel cushions from Target. They were only $3. each. I made a paper template and used it to cut out some pretty fleece I had hanging around. I sewed the pieces together to give me these more comfortable looking and feeling cushions. I made them for friends who have an upcoming road trip to their new home in Colorado.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend wanted me to make her daughter a soft snuggly blanket. she supplied me with 2 pieces of fleece that she had chosen for her each approx one and a half yards. No-sew blankets are awesome, I love these things because they are so quick and easy to put together. and the bonus is no sewing is involved. I'm trying to figure whether a rotary cutter or a good old fashioned pair of scissors are better for the job. I used my rotary but will probably need a new blade when I'm finished.</span><br />

little to short for my liking. I cut a bandanna into strips and sewed them end to
end. I then sewed them to the hem of the skirt making them at least 3 inches
longer than before. Problem solved.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
