Finally some sewing

I got started with some sewing last night, out in the garage (perhaps will purchase some rock star 80's type fingerless gloves... it's freezing out there!) Lovely husband spurred me on by bringing out a hot chocolate and chocolate covered sticks (tee-vee snack style - yummo), just when I was ready to throw it in. But with a warm belly I managed to get these two crayon rolls finished. I used an old moo moo of my MIL's for the outside, which will delight her no end, and was quite pleased with the final result, apart from a small issue with my machine, which I think is tension related, anyhoo... was quite chuffed to have a finished project, until I discovered that the crayons I bought today are too big! Devastating. I'm sure Miss H won't mind, since I did splurge and get the nice triangle shaped crayons. The other roll is for our dear friend Isabel, who's about to become a big sister. I'm hoping her own special crayon roll will help keep her busy while her mummy is busy with the bubba (who should be here any day now!!!)

Also received my vintage Poppies Tablecloth in the mail, which I won on ebay. It's even more lovely than the photo's, and I can't wait to turn it into something fab. Maybe a dress or skirt, not sure yet. Am still waiting on another tablecloth purchased on ebay, has been a while now and I'm starting to worry it has gone astray. Will keep my fingers crossed when postie cycles by tomorrow.
