Kawaii and Kursing

Kawaii (かわいい [kaw͍ai.i], Means, "lovable", "cute", or "adorable"  

My Fantabulous FQ giveaway of 9 KOKKA PRINTS and 2 SUMMERSVILLE PRINTS from the incredibly generous, lovely Celtic Fusion Fabrics has a little over 24hrs left if you havent entered already by leaving the word GIVEAWAY as a comment on my previous post. (click to visit)
There are also one or two spots left to fill for the Japanese Charm Swap too!  Each swapper purchases one metre of a print and cuts it into 56 x 5" charms - the charms are sent to me, and in turn I send back a stack of 56 gorgeous different charms.  If you'd like to take part leave a comment on my previous post saying SWAP (click will take you there)!

Just in case you needed any encouragement, have a look at what Helen did with just a fraction of what you could receive in the swap.

Made by Archie the Wonderdog

Each dinky square is half an inch square!  Isnt it beautiful?

Read all about it and see even more fabulous shots of it (the sides are equally awesome!) here on Archie the wonderdog  (and see Archie too, naturally)

In the meantime my man is home at the moment so I've been busy...

Fortuantely busy with sewing too!  I've got 2 swaps to finish up in the next week....  *help!!*  Its all been hand sewing so far (the thinking was to rest my hip, but holy cow my hands have objected...) and there's been a good bit of this....

Paper piecing the wrong sides together...

but it is paying off as I am progressing now

And for the other swap, NOT FOR CHILDREN  (or mum...)

I know, its not exactly obvious what its meant to spell out....  Part of that I'm hoping is down to the peelywally photo....  also partly cos I've only started filling in around the letters.....

And if it still proves to be a washout when its all pieced I'll see what a bit of Perle can do to help out....all the while probly shouting it out quite a lot...
