Whilst my American friends are enjoying another one of their holidays, I had to go back to work today, oh joy.
Still I was greeted by a nice parcel of fabric on my return, so that's my consolation prize.
This was my freebie bundle for subscribing to Mollie Makes; it's only taken about 3 months to turn up and dare I say, contains some fuglies, but they are good size pieces and I love the kettle print, so it's all good.
Well I can't show you what I was mostly working on over the weekend, as it is my entry for the Modern Mini Challenge. It is very different to my usual style, which is causing me to swing from 'total love' to 'not quite sure' on a disturbingly frequent basis; but I am going to go with it, so you'll have to wait until 5th March, sorry chaps.
The only thing, or rather 3, I can show you are these key fobs...
... made with thanks to lovely Kelly, maker of the most awesome sewing machine cover EVER, who kindly sent me some of the hardware which seems to be impossible to get in the UK - these came from a US Etsy seller, and I think I have found my new favourite instant fix!
Well it's going to be a long week, it's my Grandma's funeral on Wednesday, and all the kids' after-school clubs are back in full swing from tomorrow, so please bear with me if I seem a little distracted!
ahhh cant wait to see what you come up with for the modern mini....
ReplyDeleteOoh i love the keyfobs! can i buy one? ha ha! Will be thinking of you on Wednesday xxx
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you on Wednesday. Those key fobs look great and you're right impossible to find over here!
ReplyDeleteMy young colleague uses those clip thingies, must ask her where she sources them.x
ReplyDeleteWell the fabric wasn't bad compensation for going back to work. Hope all goes okay on Wednesday
ReplyDeleteWhat are the pink creatures at the bottom? I just cannot work them out. not quite ducks, not quite moomins... confusing me! (easy done, I know)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your mini! Hope weds goes okay, will be thinking of you xx
ReplyDeleteAre those pigs on the green? Your key fobs look great and I may just have to make one myself. Thinking of you this week. xx
ReplyDeleteCOME ON! Just a peek? A little tiny peek?
ReplyDeleteI tried to get in on that Molly Makes fabric give away but they aren't fans of the Irish apparently :( So it goes...You do have a few beauts in there!
I'll be thinking of you often this week. xx
Yup I got some fuglies too - maybe they are so fugly they are cool ? Maybe not!
ReplyDeleteBe thinking of you on Wednesday
Lots of love for Wednesday H
ReplyDeleteKeyrings look absolutely fabby,and I like your thinking about the quick fix :) I saw them on Kelly's blog too and thought I might have to have a go (one of these days when the list is a bit shorter!) Hope all goes OK on Wed xx
ReplyDeleteI like those key fobs. I could use one of those.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well at the funeral. I like funerals...except for the fact that someone has to die to have one, everyone is usually really nice and only says nice things. I know I'm weird.
ps...it's only a holiday in the US if you work for the government or have kids in school, otherwise it's just like any other day.
Lovely fobs, especially the chickens (I love chickens). Yes ... that really is an awesome sewing machine cover. Sad day on Wednesday - hugs to you xx
ReplyDeleteI could do with those key fob bits too, come on UK stockists, we are all ready to buy. Go easy this week, especially on Wednesday x
ReplyDeleteWill have to visit Kelly's blog! Will be thinking of you all on Wednesday. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you on Wednesday! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThe keyfobs look great Hadley!! Thanks for making my stats jump ;-)
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you on Wednesday, I hope the sun shines for your Grandma xx
very jealous of those great key fobs. I hope everything goes well on wednesday, as well as these things can, will be thinking of you
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use to close up your fobs? I've gone about 50 of these and din't buy a tool to close them at the same time and now sort of regret it as it looks like you need something big, heavy duty and not likely to scratch the fobs...
ReplyDeleteHit enter a bit quick there - Hope Wednesday goes off well, will be thinking of you x
ReplyDeleteI hope that you get time with family at the funeral and it will be a nice send off for your gran. Can't wait to see the mini.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss, Hadley.
ReplyDeleteI love your key fobs. I may have to track down some of the hardware to make my own. I see a bunch of cute fabrics that you got in the mail. Too bad you like the kettles because I would offer to give it a great home. ;)
If it makes you feel better, despite the holiday we had yesterday, I still had to work.
Yup, I spy some fuglies!! Looking forward to seeing your mini...I'll be thinking of you and your family tomorrow, take care xx P.S. Don't reply to this, you've got enough on your plate!
ReplyDeleteCan`t wait to see your mini and hugs for tomorrow...I just virtually squeezed your hand. Hope you got it. xxx
ReplyDeletelove the fobs and some of the fabric are they little strawberries top right !!
ReplyDeleteI bought 50 of the key fob hardware sets to make for my guild's boutique at our June show. Talk about instant gratification!!! Love making them!
ReplyDeleteI hope Wednesday will give you an opportunity to slow down for an hour or two to remember your Gran and have some nice visits with family :)
I love those piggies on the top fabric! Already commented on the post funeral blog post but I do hope you are doing okay.
ReplyDeleteLove the key fobs! Can I have one, please? OMG, you really did get some fuglies in that bundle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful key fobs hope Wednesday was ..... Manageable jen@madeinminch
