<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Everyone... How are you doing?</span> </center>
<center>
Just a quick post to tell you i am still alive and well :)</center>
<center>
We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years and Im really excited for what 2014 will bring. </center>
<center>
This year im going to venture into the world of Local Markets! I'm a bit nervous... Its kinda scary putting yourself out there for people to look at you and look at what your selling... But I thought it might be fun... </center>
<center>
Afterall i do love sewing and i love making bits and pieces... so i thought I would start with these....</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPw6mK-l0ur5H8JiBlIxsgrJCDiVyrqvp9Q0_Q34GIIPN4OgHXqvX6OWaIXd5SjRO9DjF8NMi4pbP-E01nsUbWvzbeSWzHLyOBrwn-fEJ7K8C0XZ0pENXsKoqKVceGb0T7SJnIrdt7T-PV/s1600/IMG_4490.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPw6mK-l0ur5H8JiBlIxsgrJCDiVyrqvp9Q0_Q34GIIPN4OgHXqvX6OWaIXd5SjRO9DjF8NMi4pbP-E01nsUbWvzbeSWzHLyOBrwn-fEJ7K8C0XZ0pENXsKoqKVceGb0T7SJnIrdt7T-PV/s1600/IMG_4490.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<center>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Anniversary Cushions.... </span></span></center>
<center>
What ya think??? </center>
<center>
I had seen a few out there in the world of etsy etc but couldnt find one i actually wanted myself. I liked having the numbers all join together so its more of a point of interest as to</center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;"> "What is that number??" </span></center>
<center>
Than a cushion that was separated with dots or dash's.... i felt those ones screamed DATE! Everytime you looked at em...!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So i decided to<span style="font-size: large;"> make one for me, the way i would like mine...</span></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello Everyone!!!! I know its been a while since i jumped on to blog. Well, a little more than a while... but i am alive and well, AND surrounded by kids!! My little Kobe baby No. 4 is keeping me on my toes. He is now 18 months! He doesn't sit still much, doesn't sleep well and i cant train him to watch TV, sooooo i don't get a whole lot of time for sewing these days or BLOGGING!!!! But i do get to keep in touch with blogland a nights once the kiddies are in bed.</center>

because I had<span style="font-size: large;"> forgotten</span> how hard it is having a newborn.... although i think now i've forgotten what its like to have more than a few hours sleep. I used to have so much energy and <span style="font-size: large;">extra time</span>. For those of you who don't seem to have bad memory like me, do you remember how your days run into each other??</div>
<br />I feed.. then burp.. feed some more.. play a little. I settle.. he falls asleep.. wakes up shortly after.... with wide eyes as if hes been asleep for hours.. i try and settle again. He doesn't want to go back to sleep and i realise... Ahh yep its been 3-4 hrs.. time to feed AGAIN!!<br />

I <span style="font-size: large;">love being busy</span> with a new baby. It doesn't leave me much time to do all the things i used to... like sewing, taking pictures, and blogging... Not to mention keeping up with the other kiddies and doing the cleaning and washing jobs... YUCK!! I realised today its been nearly been a MONTH.. since i last blogged. WOW where did that go?? So, when i was out and about today, carrying Kobe around in the baby sling i made, i realised I hadn't even<span style="font-size: large;"> shown you</span> one of my most<span style="font-size: large;"><em> favouritest</em></span> things... My baby sling!!! So standing in the<span style="font-size: large;"> middle of a car park</span>, i got mum to take a few quick pics on her phone so i could show you.<br />

I have been dying to make a baby sling ever since i bought the book <br />

To make the sling you need a piece of deco weight fabric 23 1/2" x 60". I used two pieces of the velveteen so it could be lined. I had originally bought the fabric to make a baby bag... but this was a WAY better idea! I also made a linen one and mum even made herself one.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I would like a few tips on how to carry him in it. I usually just pop him in. Different directions depending on if hes awake or wants to sleep or snuggle. I don't really know the "correct" way to carry him in it.. so let me know if you have any tips for me?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There you have it. My Baby sling.. What a great gift hey, you HAVE to make one!! If not for yourself, definitely for a sister or friend. xx</div>

In the weeks leading up to Kobe's arrival... I spent<span style="font-size: large;"> hours and hours sewing</span>. Remember i wrote that huge list of baby things i wanted to make??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, i can say, i finished the list!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made all the little <span style="font-size: large;">baby things</span> i wanted to... and MORE!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put my<span style="font-size: large;"><em> mum</em></span> to work. We had soo much fun. She hadnt sewn anything for years.. But that didnt stop her. She was a machine! She had way more energy and staying power than i had. Im very grateful for her 'keep going' attitude and excitement. AND everytime i needed a rest... she would finish things off. If it wasnt for her... there is <span style="font-size: large;">NO WAY</span> I would have all these nice pressies for my baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>Thanks Mum... Your the greatest!</em></div>

Mum and I made blankets, baby pouches and baby bibs, baby slings, burp cloths, toys and taggy blankets, and with the leftover fabric, we decided we<em> </em><span style="font-size: large;"><em>NEEDED</em> another quilt</span>! Another one to match all the new baby things.. </div>

Quite a basic design... 6" squares alternated by a pieced square. For the back I pieced my left over pieces and Straight line quilted 1/4" off the seam line.. I think that type of quilting is one of my fav.. Doesnt require any thought, marking, and its really quick and easy. </div>

I just love it.<span style="font-size: large;"> Normally</span> i usually make quilts using fabrics in the <span style="font-size: large;">same range or theme</span> from the designer. But this time, this quilt was<span style="font-size: large;"> bits and pieces</span> from lots of designers and i really love it. It inspired me to go to my stash and start putting different fabrics together. I'm already making another quilt for Kobe for a play mat on the floor thats a bit of everything... a mix up of ranges and designs.</div>

I was at a loss on what exactly i wanted to say... So i wrote nothing.... and after thinking about it today, I have decided to just share a couple pictures with you....<br />
</div><center>These past few days have been the birthday and anniversary of my sweet baby Chase dying. The last few days have been difficult. In fact... the whole month of March has been difficult. </center><center> </center><center>Most of you will know that On the 21st March 2010 my son passed away. My Quilting addiction and blog started because i needed an escape to help me get through each long day. Each day is difficult. And as time goes by I keep thinking it will get easier. </center><center> Some days it does, i feel like i will survive and that although i desperately miss my little boy.. i have so many things to be grateful for and live for.</center><br />

<center>We were eagerly awaiting a new little baby to come into our family.. only to have to say goodbye to him much too soon. For those of you who have lost a child, know the incredible pain that becomes apart of you. Part of your daily struggle, part of the new and different you.</center><center> </center><center>So, Last year with the anniversary approaching, we decided to go on a family holiday so that we would all be away together and help ease the anxiety...</center><center>This year we spent the weekend together.</center><center>We went to the zoo..</center><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Lay </span>them all on top of each other<br />
Starting from one end...<span style="font-size: large;"> Sew</span> a long (longest stitch length your machine will go) running stitch down the centre of the strip.<br />
Grab one end and tie the two threads in a knot.<br />
Pull the bobbin thread... and slowly<span style="font-size: large;"> gather</span> your Tulle up until your happy with the gathering or until you reach your desired length.. I added 2cm onto Edens length.. so I gathered it til it was 50cm.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Take </span>your piece of <span style="font-size: large;">Ribbon</span>.. Lay it down to cover the centre seam and<span style="font-size: large;"> pin</span> in place.<br />
Carefully<span style="font-size: large;"> sew</span> down left and right side of ribbon (normal stitch length) as close to the<span style="font-size: large;"> edge</span> as possible. This gives you a little tube.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thread </span>your <span style="font-size: large;">elastic</span> into the tube..under the ribbon but above the tulle.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tighten</span> your elastic so your garter gathers in and is stretchy.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sew</span> your ends together.<br />

</div>Its funny how we venture out and make something totally new every once in a while. Come to think of it... We really learn little sewing lessons with each project we make. My first quilt is full of em!! Mistakes that is and I'm still learning..... You would think after making this little sunshine I would stick to quilts...?? <br />

I rarely, in fact, i dont know if i have ever bought a yard or so of a cute print<span style="font-size: large;"> just because</span> i liked it. So this was a<span style="font-size: large;"> fun shopping spree</span> for me. A little out of my comfort zone. Hunting for a few cute prints that i could have as my<span style="font-size: large;"> feature</span> fabric and then <span style="font-size: large;">find</span> fabric from my <span style="font-size: large;">stash</span> to compliment.<br />

If I was really organised I would of had a good look through my stash and tried to find feature fabrics that would match... but, where is the fun in that??? I just<span style="font-size: large;"> found what i liked and hoped for the best</span>... and had some luck!!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
