My Monday...

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!

  13. I like those key fobs. I could use one of those.
    I 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.

  20. What 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...

  22. I 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.

  23. Sorry for your loss, Hadley.

    I 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.
