So i must have had a crazy moment last week because i decided that a Christmas table runner made completely from hexagons would look really nice on my table this year! Well I've started but as most of you ,who have done hexagon projects, know its slow progress! I must admit they are fun and easy to make! And i am getting somewhere... Hopefully it will be finished before Christmas but i also have two cross-stitched stockings on the go as well so we'll see. Take Care SJ

So...... i know i haven't been around lately but i have one beautiful little reason for that named izzy :) But i haven't given up sewing altogether, just have to limit it to a night time, and in all the washing and tidying I've to do and that makes for slow progress! However i am glad to announce that the bunting for little madams room is finished! Its a peter rabbit themed room and believe me some of the things i want for her room have been hard to find! like I'm still looking for a light shade! And this is the little Missy hard at work on her sock smile! SJ

So I'm not the best blogger in the world but its been kinda hard these past couple of weeks as i have found it quite hard not to spend every moment looking at our daughter! Ray has been great, i couldn't have asked for a better partner and father for Isabelle. I hope he knows how grateful i am and how much i love him. Its unbelievable how much they change in so little time. SJ

After only four years of struggling to see on this 18 count aida i have finally finished the alphabet bumble bee sampler..... I think this has something to do with the fact that there is a little one on the way and if it pops out a girl then this will be ideal for the nursery if its a boy then at least i have something put away for the next one :) although that wont be for some time!

Well hello there! Its been a very long time since i've posted here and let me just say that i've missed it :). I've been keeping up with the blogs i read, i just haven't had the motivation to do much crafting over the last year or so. However that has changed because i am going to be mum and the ideas have been coming in by the boat load. Blankets, bumpers, nappy bags, toys and i might even try making some clothing! But first i thought i'd finish the projects i already had on the go, like the pooh bear blankets i started for rays niece and nephew..... This is the quilt top, just waiting for the wadding to come and it will be complete! SJ

I HAVE FINISHED BOTH POOH BEARS!!!! Sorry got a little over excited, but they are finally done and i can now start on the quilt its self! i love this part! Still playing around trying to figure out how to place it. SJ
