monday

Well it has been beautifull today, summer has poked it's head around the corner, but know good old british weather it wont last for long.
 i got to enjoy the sun, in the classroom at college today,
I have been attempting to decypher shakespears much ado about nothing, personally i think the man was missing a few marbles, but then again compared to some of the dribble on tv these days arn't we all.
I f you do not follow my facebook page, it is 10% off day to try and pick up my mood from yet another failed auction, :(.
Not to worry tho, as it means i have more time to do my college work. boo!

Why i do what i do

Happy sunday!
Today i have made a cushion cover from the very hungery catepillar fabric i have.

Apart from that its a boring sunday, i have no fabric and no more cotton, so im hoping i may sell more things to make more things.
People keep asking me do you want to do this as a buisness?.
Well my answer is. Yes, but not just yet, for now its a hobby, a hobby i do get joy from. The main reason i do it as i love to sew.
I do it as if i were to make what i do i would have a house full of homemade things and no money.
I still dont really have alot of money, as i dont really make anything from my "buisness".
But its fun and i love the feeling that people like what i make and trust me to make things for them

All quiet

Well that's my two maths exams over and done with, i think i did well, well i hope i did anyway.
 Bit of a nightmare last night as boo woke up with an awfully high temp, so she spent the day at home watching films with daddy.

Its a bit quiet here in Vikki land, no orders and I'm waiting for my fabric to arrive, so cannot really do much, altho i have been toying around with some ideas, for mothers day and Easter, mainly cushions but when i get some felt in i will get my cath kidston on and make some egg cozies. Here is a rough idea of the cushions i was thinking of making for mothers day, what do people think?,
i personally love the idea of something plain and bold, but also using patterned fabric for the heart.
Anywho, i have to keep an eye on my facebook followers as i am giving a prize this eve so keep your eyes peeled
