Birthday time

I have just celebrated another birthday  I'm not one of those people who is fussed about aging (maybe that will change as I get older?) but this birthday signifies aproximately 1 year since buying my sewing machine, which is quite a landmark in itself.

So what have I achieved in the past year?

• Bunting
• 3 pigs (two types)
• 8 bags (varying types)
• 3 bears
• 5 pairs of slippers
• a needle case
• a sock monkey
• a purse
• a dress
• 3 pairs of curtains
• an Iphone cover
• a baby book
• a hat
• a skirt
• a quilt

Not bad... when you put it all together like that you realise how much you have done.

Thankfully my birthday didn't pass without further sewing-related presents:

A rotary cutter, large cutting mat and quilters ruler from my lovely husband

Small Stash Sewing book, with the most amazingly titled item - Owly McPillowpants - known to mankind.  Item from this book is the next project so  more to follow ...

Also 3 fat quarters beautifully selected by my wonderful sister.

right then ... best get on with some sewing then!
