NoT MucH TimE

was spent in the cubbyhole last Friday night. I just didn't feel like it really.
But before I left, I did manage to make a full circle skirt for 4 y/o GD#1 in pretty pink dotty fabric.

Hope it fits... but I will find out over this coming week I'm sure.
Hope you all enjoyed a night with Wendy and her friends.

PLaYinG with SiSSorS...

This is the type of mess I just LoVe making... Applique mess...!!!
A little friend came to visit yesterday...
Isn't he gorgeous...
Wonder what will become of him???

The Christmas in July swap is now officially CLoSeD for 2017.
All players received their gifts on time, it's just unfortunate that I was away & didn't get to write this catch up post earlier... SoRRy
Thank you to all involved. I think by the caliber of gifts received...everyone is probably still smiling...

PiN CusHioN

I designed a new pin cushion... called PiN Me
I am in the process of writing a pattern... so if you like this pin cushion... one I've finished writing it you will be able to make one for yourself as well.
It will be on my web page as a FREE pattern so check back here for the link in a week or so.
I used my scraps to make it, so perhaps you can use some too & make another one as a gift for a friend.

Back home and into the cubbyhole again...
This bag was made from scraps so no fabric is ever wasted in my sewing room... lol

JuLy OPAM

I managed quite a few finished projects this month even though I was away for almost the entire time.
In fact 14 projects in all.
My THanKs to PEG and Kris for counting all the opam-ers total each month.

A RuNNeR

is this months addition to the gift box. Simple, neat and a quick project.
Thanks Narelle for all your encouragement to make One Item a Month.
If you would like to see what other elves got up to this month ... simply click on over to HeRe.

And once again I made this runner using only stash I had in my cubbyhole...
so I've added it to the Scrap Busting Challenge list too.
This was a scheduled post... as I actually made this "before" leaving on our caravan trip.

My Final One

Using the yarn I had left over... I knitted up my last little beanie.
All these "beanies" are off to a orphanage in Russia.

My Sister-in-law's "beanie" contribution while on holidays.

Trish is truly a machine... lol

Trish even knitted a couple of "Fluffy" style Beanies.  Who wouldn't LoVe these...

A reminder that all Christmas In July gifts should have been received by now.

 & CIJ opening day is July 25th...

Just a few days from now...

I hope everyone involved EnJoYed this swap.

Every month Wendy hosts Friday Night SEW In & I always try to join in. Even while in the caravan I wanted to get together with my on line friends... so this month I decided to knit.
Kinda like my version... Friday Night STITCH in... ha ha
Another "beanie" has now been added to the charity box.

Thanks Wendy...
