Gifts I've been making this year for friends and family

I've also been making a few sewing projects for friends,

This is a knitting needle case I made for Lynette as a thank you for teaching me to knit:

I also made a jewellery roll for Carla for her birthday since she travels a lot:

I crocheted a rabbit for my niece for Easter:

I also made Carla a jewellery holder which is a wooden board, painted and decorated with my new inktense pastels and door handles screwed on to hold necklaces and bracelets :)

I made a picture with mini tiles that I painted at our local pottery painting place, although I haven't given this to anyone just yet:

These are cushions I made Kelli at work, just because I saw the fabric and thought she'd love it, which she does :)

Finally I made a little quilt for my nephew with a lovely plush back as he loves his soft blankets:

I'm working on a quilt for myself which is almost finished so hopefully be able to post that soon :)

New home furnishings

I have been busy studying tax exams and moving house although no excuse for not blogging but he's a little catch up on makes this year.

Firstly I've been busy furnishing my new home with curtains, blinds and cushions, this is my art room and the main window is nearly 3m tall so only option was custom made!

Then I needed matching cushions and curtains in the lounge :)

Next job was a blind in the hallway:

 

Next will be blinds for the bathrooms, fabric purchased but still in my to do pile :)
