Reasons to be cheerful part two

Sister in law is pleased with her "you've got mail" cushion.  Phew!!!  At an average of 2hrs per envelope it wasnt the speediest of works!

  

Having offered "skully" hoop for a giveaway, it took a few weeks to find the bast@rd.  But I did.  

 Reene, I will do my best to try and think of something sweary, but it wont be easy for me ;-)   I'll get it to you soon as I can.

  

I've caught up on another month of bee blocks.  Jo's low volume and liberty TRIANGLES.  Yup, I sewed triangles and it worked for a change.
And my mate Gap Quilter pushed her luck asking me for 36 half square triangles AND an embroidery that will remind her of me. I promise you, this will remind her of me.  (And no.  I didnt.  Its my nickname for her.)

I needed some company, and mum came to the rescue.  She's been busy too.  

I needed a laugh, and Miss Elliecat obliged.

And final reason to be cheerful?

Beanz.  The Shooman variety.

Reasons to be cheerful part one.

Introducing the Beach Trash Hexies cushion.

A finish-along finish!

(I hand stitched the zipper, then topstitched with the walking foot to hold it firmly in place.)

(Just in case you remember how crap a time I was having with zips...)

April Brit Bee Blocks done (little late, oops)

My weekend, in pyjamas, will be spent doing some of this...

And a lot of this....

let the skully speak.

I'm happy in the blissful misapprehension that you're here cos you quite like reading and, I hope, sometimes get a laugh coming here. So, I'm not going to enter this into the glorious Sew Mama Sew giveaway day.

However, it is a wonderful, awesome sewing day which I love to take part in each year, so I'd like to give something too.   I'll do a wee parcel.  Just a wee one.  Nothing jaw droppingly amazing I'm afraid, but I'll try and make it nice, promise I will.  I'll pick a winner with Random thingy on Monday 13th May.  If you are a no reply blogger and you dont leave your email in your comment, tough luck - I'll be choosing again.  It will be open internationally though.

Anyway, the above hoop.  If you'd like it, tell me what you'd like it to say, as I'd like to stitch a wee bitty something else on it, just for you.

So for all those who stop by every time, or just once in a while, thank you.  Its awffy nice to know I'm not (always) just talking to the cat....
And Good luck, I hope you have a happy and lucky Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day!!
