wanna see my sewing stuff?


ya.I thought so.I knew you would love to.Thank you.:-)



One of my boxes to organize my ever so growing fabric stash.Its a fabric covered box i taped together using cardboard.I made a big pocket outside and three small ones in the inside.I always need more room to store stuff!
fabric,some ribbon,lace,and a rolled up cord.

This little sweet is my thread basket.It's getting too small for all my threads.They keep increasing with my fabric stash too.I made it with this tutorial from my little mochi.She has various other sweet projects too!
Go check it out,you'll love it if you haven't already seen it and fallen in love with it.






Two pairs of tailoring shears,and one pair of pinking shears that i love so much.


pens,glue,tissue.hair clips and hair bands..and a nail cutter.well,things aren't where they are supposed to be,but at least they are looking tidy.lol.

My round pincushion.




Another pincushion i made..I think you can guess where this one came from!

My hexagon pincushion.Isn't it a sweet thing?If you read my ramblings,I am sure you know that i have something going on about hexagons.One side is yellow,The other is red,that's the one shown.It was paper pieced.
this here is my little hexagon basket.I made it too from this tutorial.I run all around the house and this little box always tags along.It is stuffed with hexagon cuts for my quilt.I know,its very scrambled,but believe me i organize it.It just gets jumbled entirely on its own.Not one bit my fault.lol. The first pin cushion i ever made.Also my first patchwork one.
This one is my favourite.Isn't it obvious..It's pink!;-)Its the one that runs along with my sewing basket all the time. And here is my progress on the quilt since i posted last..um..was it Tuesday? Nine flower blocks joined and the tenth started. My hands hurt from all the sewing.I didn't want to stop.too eager to see how it looks as it keeps growing!my left wrist kept hurting and hurting from holding it for so long in one position,..i guess..And the fingers by which i hold the needle from my right hand,the tips,hurt so much that i cant hold the needle.so i assumed that it was time to take a break!:-)But hopefully,I will resume as soon as i can hold the needle!
I definitely am obsessed!
A close up. nine blocks and growing.

I am very happy about how its turning out.
What do you think?

Love from,

ahem.progress.

i finally am back working on my hexy garden.It has been a pretty looong break.But finally I am up and running again.Boy,it feels good.I didnt even realise how much i missed working on it every single minute that i had.
I have started joining the flowers together.It is amazing seeing it grow slowly.Ahhh,pure bliss.;-)
This is how much i have got done so far.Not much to the eye,but it takes two times more time to join two flowers together than to actually make two flowers.(For me anyway.)Not to mention how not very easy it is to me yet handling the growing blocks.But it is such a beautiful feeling seeing it grow piece by piece.Every little obstacle i stumble upon along the way is worth the while.Totally.:-)


Two or three nights back i was at mom's,sleepy and i was waiting for hubby to come back home with.That was till i found a full of paint tubes waiting for me to do something about it.Anything.SO i had to paint something,i had no choice.And when i couldnt find any decent paper to play with my paints,I tore off a piece of cardboard from a box that was going to the garbage after a sorry life..I gave it some life.At least to a torn out piece of it.lol.

I didnt really finished it..But i have a feeling that this is how its going to stay.
I am back to working on my slowly growing garden.see ya!

xoxo,

more weekend sewing

ive been sewing and sewing.two nights back,i bought some floral fabric to make sheets for our bed.i came home straight away after that,sewed a sheet and cases for our pillows,washed and ironed it and dressed our bed before bed time.:-)

There is no saying what i end up doing when i really want something done:-)LOL..
i fell in love with the fabric at first sight..so love at first sight does exist..LOL..im living proof..:-)i thought i would show it you since its soooooo sweeeeeet..hoping that it may make you smile like it makes me:-)

And here are the flowers i managed to get done these three days.not much,but something:-)i specially love this red one,i lovvvvvvve it.(It was made from scraps from the bed clothes project.)


Oh isn't it sweeeeet?

gotta go back to do something.My hands are aching for some needle work;-)

be back soon.

lotsa love,

what i've been doing day and night




i've been making more and more blocks for my precious quilt.it really is an addiction.i can no longer sit still in one place if i was'nt working on my flower blocks,surrounded with bits of cloths,needles and threads..LOL..:-).


so far i have completed 25 blocks.but still i cant really decide on how i want to arrange them.not a problem,i still have some till i have to think about that..:-)

i arranged these blocks on my floor to take a picture.its pretty clear that a white background doest work for it,ryt?or is it just me?
i really couldnt figure it out,but i have this feeling that i have some colours missing!!
is there something missing or is it just me?
LOL:-)
well,thats it for now.right now im working on a shirt.i'll be back with some pics of it as soon as im done with it.
till then,hugs

more of my quilt blocks..


Here are my latest updates on my garden in the rainbow..


i've finished three blocks in the past two days.I love these fabrics,and the blue one is really special because its the first blue coloured fabric i have ever bought or used on any of my projects.really.:-)



my hubby is really thrilled too.i think it has something to do with a breath of freshness/something new/(most probably) something that is not pink sort of thing.no one can blame him,because he is surrounded with all things pink
and its all my fault.but its totally unintentional...LOL;-)
(and being the wonderful man he is,he tolerates it well:-)i love you huny!:-))


and here is the green block close up..i love it really really and i wanted you to see it close up too.but this photo doesnt do it justice.it looks way better in real..but i hope that you like it anyway.:-)
i have joined this great quilt along group..such nice ladies,so sweet and so motivating and sooooo much inspiration.they have really helped me and i dont even feel like a quilting newbie anymore!
i really owe them so much thanx..
thanx ladies..
you girls rock my world!
im off to make some pizza.
im hungry and feeling verrrrrrrrrrry much like pizza.;-)i've a wonderful pizza recipe and ill share it with you sometime soon insha allaah.the last time i tried,i was trying to get a decent shot of my pizza to post here,n i turned away to adjust my camera for a second and when i turned back,hubby had eaten it..:-)LOL..my dear sweeeeeet hubby:-):-)
better luck next time:-)
till then,hugs..
