Catch Up Time.....

First off- The photo word challenge

"STRETCH"

Why is it that the giants in my house forget about short ass me.....not that I'm that short, I measure a whopping 162cm. Mind you though all of the men in the house hold are well over the 6ft mark.
All I ask is that they lower the  shower head for me so I don't have to "stretch"

"Just Book It"

Now this is where I join up with Sharon over at vroomans quilts and a bunch of over lovelies to make a project out of a book, Magazine etc that we have laying lifelessly on our shelves.
1 project a month!
I also have a folder with lots of free projects that I've been saving, with all good intentions of me going to make them one day.
This time I finally got around to make the Mug Bag from Red Brolly Designs
Yes, I have used Tim Holtz eclectic elements range.
This is it opened, I even have a tea bag holder.
and this is the back.

"OPAM"

I join Kris from Tagalong Teddies and Peg from happy in quilting
Who are the lovely ladies that keep us all motivated and they also keep a tally of all of our finishes.
This is all of my finishes for March a total of 29 Items
1 Elf
1 Flag on a stick
1 Mug Bag
9 Lavender draw sachets
6 Lavender eye masks
9 Burp cloths
2 Hot Pads


And not forgetting the flags on a stick.

FNSI Achievement

My Friday night actually started Friday afternoon.
If you want to see what everyone else got up to...pop on over to Wendy's @ Sugar Lane Quilts
In the morning I whizzed through the house work so that I could start on my project.
I had decided to make Hunny Bunny.
From the Homespun Mag No 106 (Vol 13.3)
Checked the requirements then I got started.
 I made up the dyeing solution....I used rose pink food coloring for the inner ears.
Parisian Essence & Coffee for the body.
 Then I threw in the calico
 I then decided to add a dash of Tim Holtz to dress Hunny Bun
Cut, Sew & Clip Gently.....Stuff with love.
Add some buttons and paint her soul on through the eyes.
Display your creation in a yummy mint bed.

Her skin is a bit fairer in the photo than actual life....so I put this down to my Irish heritage you just can't tan us..... it doesn't matter how hard you try, it's near impossible.
