Making a Christmas Wreath

December 5, 2017January 1, 2019Leave a comment

I love a Christmas wreath and I love a box of Celebrations during the festive period. So I came up with this idea to combine the two. I used one of the large tubs of Celebrations which are usually around a fiver at this time of year. I bought an oasis wreath ring and a … Continue reading Making a Christmas Wreath

It’s been a strange year. Lots of highs and lots of lows. I’m so lucky to have been able to finally buy a house but while the frustrating process of actually buying it was going on I felt helpless and out of control so I decided to do something that was my control and visit @superlashboutique for these fabulous face flutterers, or eyelash extensions. I almost went and got a tattoo but satisfied myself with a temporary one instead!

Today’s #bpsewvember prompt is View which reminded me of another other challenge I’m currently working on - @ayearwithmycamera by @emmadaviesphoto. One of the pre-challenge prompts is snail’s eve view so I snapped this log in Brockwell Park a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely nothing to do with sewing - sorry - but there are no photoshoots happening in my house of boxes right now! The photo course starts tomorrow but I don’t know which box my camera is in, agghh!

We’ve worked so hard the past four days. Packing, cleaning, rigging solicitors, more packing and cleaning. Thank God for the movers (Pacific Removals if you’re in South London) who were so fast, friendly and patient when we had to wait four hours between properties. We got in to our new home at 3.30pm and unfortunately the last bit of daylight showed us how dirty the place had been left. When I think of how hard we worked to leave our old place in a nice condition... We knew this was going to be a project but last night it was a bit overwhelming and I only managed a total of four hours sleep. This evening I feel much more positive. This house is going to be amazing and I’m not afraid of a bit of hard work. We met the neighbours earlier and they’re really nice (and they have a kitten) and I got home from work to find Matthew had been working really hard all day and sorted out the living room! Photos or a stories tour at the weekend - when I’m next here in daylight.

The prompt for #bpsewvember is the cat’s pyjamas or ‘the best’. This is my most popular Instagram post ever and perhaps the best thing I’ve sewed. I didn’t have the opportunity to wear it this year sadly, I’m feeling one made in a gold brocade for Christmas one year but this year is not the one to be making that plan. I have a house to unpack and decorate! PS I thought I’d lost these earrings but just found them in the pocket of my leather jacket. Winning! Dress: @sewoveritlondon Elsie Dress Fabric: also Sew Over It Help from: the wonderful @julieclairej to make this fit me perfectly in a class at aforementioned SOI.

I’m having a busy weekend packing to move house but I wanted to dip into #bpsewvember. Today’s prompt in treasure so I thought I’d share my lovely new Pfaff which I bought from the @newcrafthouse a few months ago and my overlocker which I got from Lidl of all places). I’ve read a few bad reviews about this Singer model but once I got the tension balance right it’s been fantastic. Shout out also to my lovely @foxgloveandfield pattern weights which I love. #ipreview via @preview.app
