Ok - so no joy in getting technical help - just a msg to relax and enjoy - which im already doing!

Its been so difficult to blog, or sew at the moment - we have a family situation that isnt too unique to Sydneysiders - at least families with 2 full time working parents! We leave at 7.30am and dont get home til 7.30pm. Its a long day - then night time routine takes you til about midnight!

BUT i do have a project i have set myself, a dancing/shoe bag for a friends daughter - i would love to make a fantastic intricate one - but as im still what i class myself as - a very beginner sewer - i will keep it sweet and simple, probably just a draw string bag with a soft lining. I do have some cute fairy ballerina material too!

I seem to be falling in love with some beautiful materials at the moment - this one and this one, oh and this and this!

Hope to start adding some pics of my small starts at crafting....i have all these pictures of things in my head - patterns cuts and shapes - but just have to learn how to get them out and onto paper.
One thing that never ceases to amaze me - how smart, creative and talented so many online crafters are - sometimes it feels a little overwhelming!

Bring on Spring!
