Doodles

I have recently found, quite by accident a thing called zentangles. It is drawing shapes random or a set shape and doodling in the shapes. Rather like we all did as children, drawing a scribbly shape and colouring it in but instead of colouring you do repeating patterns in each shape.
I don't go for "zen" stuff but I do like the art work, so if you fancy a go have a look at it here!

This pattern for soft padded bags came from the wonderful "Sew Hip " magazine. I have tweaked it a bit, but the idea is great. I made these for Christmas for my daughter and my son's girlfriend

These were made for friends too in the fabric of their choice. They are fun to make and very useful too.
The cup of tea is optional, or in my case essential to the sewing experience!

Last makes of the old year

I treated myself to a book in November and this pegbag pattern was in it, I must say I don't know why I made them, but amazingly have sold three already!

Also made a few Christmas stockings, which also sold well.
BUT...in the creativity stakes God beat me hands down, there is so much beauty in the detail of creation.
