Flowers, flowers everywhere...

I’ve got a bit flower obsessed the last few days!

I found the Ellinee Design House Blog with lots of printables and templates, I’m a little in love.

That’s all for now!

Half orange and slice pattern

The scanner on my printer has decided to play ball at last! Well it will work so long as I save the image onto a memory stick instead of the computer. I hate technology sometimes! So I have put the pattern for half an orange and for an orange slice.

Now I didn’t have the wisdom to photograph them as I was making them but it’s pretty simple.

• Sew the circle to the white circle.
• Sew the white lines onto the orange.
• Sew little dots onto your skin (3 bits of skin for half an orange or 1 for a slice) I did this using a slightly darker orange.
• Sew your skins together (if making half an orange.)
• Sew the skin to the circle
• TA DA!

If you have any questions send me a message and I’ll be more detailed!

That’s all for now!

To Do List

A while ago I created a To Do list based on one I saw somewhere online (if anyone has that link please send it me), its taken me until now to work out how to share them. There are three pages, each with a different quote. Enjoy!

Procrastination Baking

So I haven’t put away any of the washing but I have baked muffins. I made mars bar (well Morrisons version of mars bars) muffins and white chocolate & cranberry muffins. When it comes to cake, or any desert for that matter, we ignore the fact that I’m not supposed to eat wheat. The white chocolate was a bit oily and made the muffins a kind of soggy but it’s still cake! Anyway here's some photos:

Here's the recipe:

Just add in any extras that you like!

Heart Felt Fruit and Veg

For a while now I have been (slightly obsessively) sewing felt fruit and vegetables, this is the collection so far. They are all sewn by hand apart from the lettuce, which had a little help from my machine. There were a few more originally but they seem to have gone walk about (probably down the back of the sofa). I’ll put some tutorials up soon.

So far I’ve managed to make: 1 apple, 4 half apples, 2 oranges, 2 half oranges, 3 orange slices, a punnet of strawberries, 1 whole banana, 2 half bananas, a banana with a removable skin, 2 carrots, 1 tomato, 3 tomato slices, 1 lettuce and 3 lettuce leaves. There are also 3 carrots that I rejected after sewing because I decided they were too cartoon like (but very cute all the same).

At the moment I’m sewing 2 more half oranges, it is really quite addictive!

That’s all for now!

How very British

Today we BBQed in the rain. Actually it was really nice to catch up with friends, eat some hallumi and burgers and just have a laugh. I haven't got any photos but I thought I'd post about it anyway.
I do however have a picture from mine and my mothers trip to b&q the other day. There were hundreds of mats stuck to the wall in colour order and they looked amazing so of course I wipped out the camera, got a few looks and got some photos that don't really show the true effect. Anyway here we go:

Anyway it is a silly hour to be up writing on blogs. I'm going to stay up a bit longer and read my crappy far too romantic book.

Buttons and beards

I found this, sorry can't remember where. Rather reminds me of a certain someone.
Today has been spent attacking some assignments, they're getting finshed slowly. I want to get them all done before he comes back, that is the hope anyway!
I'm off home again on Friday, my step-dad is in a show. It is his first show and I'm quite looking forward to it. Going home almost feels like being in a seperate place. Everything there is a calm and in the home bubble.
Anyway I wanted to show off my teacups, sounds ever so cool ey? I got them at the antique shop near us, I say antique shop it is more a treasure trove. It goes on forever and is always filled with nice things. I got these teacups for about a £1 each, I also found a jar of buttons at the antique shop so naturally I put the buttons in the teacups. Wow that is alot said about cups, here they are:

It's not the best picture in the world but you get the idea.












Just a little post for today.
