look, look i got off my large backside and made something!!!

Yes i did it. i got of my bum and made something!
I'm quite proud of myself for gettin g out of my rut, although i did also enjoy a large dose of 'my big fat gipsy wedding' last night! i still can't get over the size of the frocks!
Anyway, the thing i made is much smaller...

 A dangle of fabric hearts making up the word love with crackle beads inbetween.

I've also made some larger hearts but haven't finished those off yet, what do you think?

The gallery - Mother nature

the beauty abit of dew can bring.

Loosing it

I seem to have lost it this year. And by that i mean my sewing mojo!
I put the machien away for christmas and just don't seem to be able to motivate myself to get it out again!
I Have projects to attend to (including finishing my nephews christmas gift and making a present for my friends new baby who is now 12+weeks old!)

Where has all my motivation gone!
I seem to be sleep walking through 2011!
I still feel drained and the more days go past with out achieving anything the more i don't want to start it!
Think i have a bout of the procrastinators!

think i need shaking up and down and having someone yell WAKE UP at me!
hope you are feeling more motivated than i am!

latest tinkerings

well, i have been doing something (other than try and sort out immunology lectures!)
I've been making some 'motto' things to put on lavender hearts or to put onto strings of hearts.

Heart shapes for some but a couple of squares.
Total rubbish or ok?
any more mottos you think i should do?
i promise to have some finished one to show you soon, hopeing they will go into the we are birmingham shop.

The gallery - body parts

the gallary (as hosted here http://stickyfingers1.blogspot.com/2011/01/gallery-body-parts.html) this week is pictures of body parts.

i have 2 piccys of heads, mainly cos they amuse me!

This is when my kiddies went to the infant and child lab at birmingham uni to help with their investiagtions into how kiddies brains work!

busy doing nothing -again!

I'm at work and so should be doing something sciencey!
instead i'll show you a picture of the wrist warmers i made for my office mate for christmas/birthday!

no been up to much making so i say sorry it abit boring.

New year - tidying up!

Well i'm back! after a mamoth break i'm back and the first thing to do is catch up on all the 'christmas' stuff!
i join in with 3 (yes 3) christmas swaps.
I joined one hosted by secondtimemummy, i recieved this loverly little bundle.

The second swap i joined was hosted by laalaa and i was a lucky girl

And finally i joined in with Emma's santa swap and was very very lucky!

AT work we had a secret santa - my work mates know me well, coffee and biscuits (although i had to give them to hubby as i'm gluten free)

And so to all those pairs of PJ's i was making (5 pairs!)! i managed to finish them...

And modelled by my 2

And finally i ran up a few other things for presents, a pin cushion for a sewing box i put togeather for a friend, and booties and dribbly bibs for her little loverly.

Hope you all have a good and crafty year this year! x
