After my little outburst in the last post I am slowly catching up.
I finished my friends Birthday present:
It's a Blythe version of a real life 1960's chair that is her pride and joy. I sprayed a Bratz chair and made a little cushion for it.
We had a lovely time at Center Parcs, I took the girls along, this is what Mervin wore:
I cancelled my stall at the craft fair as I've got so stressed out about it and there is no way I would make enough stuff for 2 days of the fair.
I've made a great start on my Morticia Addams costume for the amateur dramatics christmas show. I've also managed to borrow a lot of stuff for my hubby to wear. We've added lots of extra rehearsals days so that will be fine.
I rearranged my work day before I had cancelled the craft fair, so now I can get on with my costume, Blythe commissions and get ready to go away next week.
I've made a good start on my Blythe commissions. Although last week I had a disaster. I had cut out and half sewn 3 coats. I finished the first one and found that I had added seam allowance onto the pattern that already had seam allowance (that's what I get for not labelling my patterns). So I threw them all away and started again.
Every cloud has a silver lining because I made a new pattern and it works a lot better than the last :D
So at last I've finished one commission!
And in true procrastination style I started my little applique project that I mentioned ages ago.
I started it yesterday before I cancelled the craft fair so should have been working my butt off making stuff to sell.....but no, I start a new project lol.
Can you guess what it is yet?
I'm hoping to start swimming again this week and maybe actually clean my house.
