my creative space

Do you remember a few weeks ago I ran into a bit of, let's call it drama, with the versatile wrap skirt?  Well this weekend I decided I would stop being angry with myself for cutting out the wrong size (too small!) and make the darn thing anyway.  I have younger sisters and it would be bound to fit one of them. I was still annoyed that someone else would be enjoying the beautiful fabric I had splurged on especially for myself but c'est la vie.

I worked my way through the easy to follow pattern and...

TA DA!



It fits me!  It fits me!  It fits me!

Are you getting the immense joy that came from this discovery?  Obviously the sizing was VERY generous.  I was so excited by it all that I wore it to work on Monday and got lots of lovely compliments which made me feel very happy indeed. (I did have another picture to share but I just clicked on "delete forever" instead of "edit" - oops!)

Oh, and I am still cutting out bits for the crazy mom quilts quilt-a-long.  I'm still a few weeks behind everyone else and I think it will probably stay that way.    

So hurrah! A happy and successful creative space for me this week.  I'm looking forward to reading what everyone else has been up to over here

This week I have been busy entertaining my visiting sister and helping her get organised for her first ever overseas trip.  As such, not a lot of crafting has been going on.  But, I did manage to do some cutting out for this quilt-a-long over at crazy mom quilts.  Tonight, my rotary cutter beckons!

There may have also been an incident with some fabric, some scissors and a mis-read pattern late last week.  But I would prefer not to talk about that.  Let's just say that the versatile wrap skirt won't be featuring on here anytime soon.

...is a mess this week!



I've got half-completed, and yet-to-be-started jobs all over the place.

Plus, I have just (foolishly or otherwise) decided to take part in this quilt-a-long at crazy mom quilts.  It will be only my 2nd ever quilt, and I am planning on giving it as a Christmas present if:

1. it turns out okay and;
2. it's not so fantastic that I want to keep it for myself!

So this week has all about planning and thinking and debating various creative endeavours.  And visiting Spotlight.

I'm enjoying reading what other (far more organised) people have been doing over here.  Thanks for the inspiration, kootoyoo!
