I would have called you but.....

      I lost your card !

So this never happens again I made a card holder to hang on the wall near the phone

and an extra as a gift to stash away for The Early Bird Christmas Crafters .

Look out if you have ever given me your business card as I might be calling you soon !

It won't really be that soon as the card holders are filled with just my cards....

 maybe I don't have anyone else to call !

My work here is done !

I'm not heartless , I've just been busy !

I haven't just been swanning around buying ric rac , I actually did some sewing and used a small piece of my very limited supply .

We don't do Valentines in my house but because it was the season I wanted to make a heart using my very special Cath Kidson fabric that I won recently from Susie at I just love that Fabric .
It has a little pocket in the front that can be used for secreting love letters to my beloved or I'll just put the cushion on my chair and hide lollies from the kids in it , much better idea !

Vintage Finish

I bought a gorgeous vintage sheet from Vinnies over a year ago specially to cover some daggy lounge cushions and then I couldn't cut the fabric . It was so worn and smooth and just so beautiful I hung it over the back of my loungeroom chair so I could look at it all the time . I don't make a lot of things for myself and things I do make are often for magazine projects so I can't show them straight away . As part of the One Project a Month challenge I'm going to try and make things for my home . I finally cut just enough out of the sheet to make this cushion cover and the rest is on the back of my chair . The photo doesn't do this fabric justice it looks a bit brown here yuk ! it really is a gold and sunny yellow and it makes me happy !
