Hoveton Hall Gardens

Just a few photos from yesterday at Hoveton Hall gardens as you can see we did have sunshine.
We have another early start so I will try and get some more sleep.

Packed ready for the week-end

                   I hope to come home after the week-end with a bit less.

                    We will have an early start leaving at about 7-30am.

                    The weather looks as if it will get better it is only 7deg to-day.

Out of this mess

                                         This is the mess that was my sewing room.

                           After some sorting out and finding fabric my creative side kicked in.



                                                --------------------------------------------

                           
                                  Just a small amount from my   Bits Bag  and  heat & bond .




      Then I found fabric to make a  Stitch Witch  pattern .Lynette Harris has kindly give me written permission to sell any of her made up patterns. I still have to stitch around the leaves but have to get some matching thread. 

                                                        www.stitch-witch.org.uk

                                           I must go shopping for thread now.
                                           

A place to go at the next bank holiday

 The gardens are wonderful at this time of year. Azaleas are just divine and perfume  !! well.

Getting my inspiration back

The weather had been getting better after the the very cold winter so I have been trying to catch up on the weeding.

I have also helped a few quilters put block together using Quilt-as-u-go and another make her first bag.

Next week I have another workshop using   Embroidery Stitches  to quilt.So I must get ready for that.

-----------------------------------------------

This is a dwarf apple tree my Daughter gave me , I do not think it will support all that fruit so I will have to do some thinning at the   June Drop.  

                                                  -------------------------------------------



Last weekend my Granddaughter was 2yr's old and I was invited to her party. This was all set up as she was having her nap.Both grandchildren were surprised as I had take TED with me.
TED is a Bear that has a lot of adventures hear in Norfolk but had never been to London on the Bus.

                                                      Just waiting for the party to start .

                                               Is there Honey sandwiches for tea .

                                                   ----------------------------------

I guess I had better star to sort out my sewing/computer room and get some work done , find that fabric I am looking for.

                                     I hope your week goes well.

                                        Thanks for popping over.

Busy making this week

Hoping  you all had a good week.

 I have managed to get some Baby hooded towels and appliquéd a dolphin on to the hood .Last week I appliquéd onto some baby bibs and sold them . I hope the towel's do as well next time.







 Next I found this dog fabric and put together two quick shoppers. The bag can go inside out and have the pockets on the inside, as I have used French seams. 

 Having gone through my stash I found some more  fabric and once in the mind for sewing I just had to get on with making more bags.I do have a three day Fair at the end of May  so  hopefully will need a lot of stock. The three have come up different shapes due to the  fabric I had, the 6 pockets on the outside can be very useful. One suggestion was as a craft bag .

 

                                                I now wait for the next inspiration.

                                                 Happy Crafting

 Well I have not been on holiday but looking after my Mother as she has been quit ill , with two spells in hospital. As she is now back to normal I will catch up.






                          Hear are two bag I have made for stock with a few good fairs coming in the summer.

I have had time to-day to get my grass cut as the weather has turned a corner.
There are signs of spring as there are now 16 frogs in my small pond.
The fish are now feeding and the Hedgehog has made it's return.
 

Now I have to get ready for our monthly Town Craft fair , putting up banners ,buying milk for the coffee and getting the table plan for the caretaker and picking up the key.
  We have two new stall holders this month as well as a free competition for children   ( thy are still on Holiday )
I will soon have to get going with designing and making some new bags. 

                   I am just going to enjoy the nice day, enjoy your's.
