I think I must have blinked and missed it! It has been such an unproductive month sewing wise for me that I wasn't going to link up with Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day this month but I had a change of heart. Starting back at work after 10 month's maternity leave, dealing with poorly boys, visiting family and Wimbledon/Olympic distractions have all called on my time this month but I'm hoping to get my rhythm back soon so as a spur I looked through and saw that I made a few things....
Mostly bags, b-day gifts and swap/bee makes this month. I have been beavering away at hand quilting the Sparkler but that is slow going.
Although I am not feeling so bad about the limited productivity this past month, I do feel a little upset about my lack of commenting on the blogs I have been reading. Time is alluding me at the moment and so I'm sorry for not keeping in touch as much as I have been. Due to the vagaries of accruing annual leave whilst on mat leave, I need to take 4 weeks holiday before the end of August and so I have a month of sewing (and blog hopping) planned. I'm quite excited about that :) And if I can even touch the hemline of Lucy in terms of her current productivity and its quality, I'll be well chuffed.

Those are some adorable projects! I can only imagine the time crunch you're experiencing right now. Enjoy your holiday!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great set of things you did get done! Loving the circular theme item =D
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had loads to keep you busy and you've made some lovely things too. Love your fabric choices, especially the boy fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYou did far more than I did. I say about 10 projects more...LOL I only made a quilt top, no finish yet. I look forward to seeing what you complete with a plan in mind;-)
