RED AND YELLOW AND PINK AND GREEN...
Hi everyone, welcome to another week of desky snooping! I hope you're all keeping well and are coping with the high temperatures. I do really feel for folk who have to work outdoors, it must have been so hard, I've been keeping indoors a lot of the time. Fingers crossed for a drop in temps this weekend!
The JanCave is quite nice in the early mornings so that's when I've been doing most of my sewing:
I found some squares I'd forgotten about and put them together with some pink and grey spotty from my stash...
It's backed with pale pink cotton and I'm just attaching the grey border here. I forgot to take a pic of the completed thing, doh!
A friend has a love affair with leopardskin (she's young and not at all like Bet Lynch!!) and asked if I'd do her a peg bag. I had to order some more fabric and oops, others just fell into my basket as well:
These were on sale, I thought they were a bit different!
The pegbag came out quite well, not too tarty! I ordered two metres and am using the rest up for my usual folding bags etc etc.
I did a craft stall yesterday after being invited by the RNLI Water Safety team who were giving a talk to a local group/captive audience! I'd have been pleased to make £50 but they were a generous bunch and £238 was raised! And I've got commissions for that leopardskin fabric above - it was a nice afternoon if very hot, the shower when I got home was marvellous!
I've also been commissioned to do wedding bunting and favours for the daughter of an old friend - it's not going to be a quiet affair and these are their mood board colour choices:
I love it! I'm researching fabrics for the bunting and have found mini disco balls to attach to the pennants, it's going to be so much fun! The wedding isn't until next year so I'll wait until choices have been finalised and then get cracking - it's certainly going to be different!
Have a great week everyone, keep cool and enjoy your crafting xxxxxxx
