Finally the sewing bug has bitten me again!  I've been quite busy sewing over the last week or so and once again, I can't understand why I haven't made anything for so long.  Well, I do know why, life is just so busy these days and being stressed over running our business, financial pressure, 3 young kids... The silly thing is that when I sew, I kind of ''escape'' from all the pressures of life and go in to a happy world of colours, fabric and whilst sewing think of other things I ''just have to make'' which makes me feel really happy from the inside.  Best of all, I sew whilst the rest of the family is around me, it's a hobby that I can do at any time of the day and the family is well used to the noise of the sewing machine, the huge amount of threads & scraps everywhere.  So, here is what I've been up to this week!

My first ever ''purse frame'' purse!  This was really fun to make, but I need to make a few more to prefect this!

Little Red Riding Hood Baby Quilt

I really enjoyed making this baby quilt.  It made me realise how much I have missed sewing and hope this will keep me inspired to start another project. Fabrics used are designed by  Tasha Noel, called Little Red Riding Hood for Riley Blake Designs.

YAY! I have found my sewing mojo again and I've started to make a baby quilt using Tasha Noel's new fabric called ''Little Red Riding Hood'' for Riley Blake Designs.  This collection of prints are just adorable and can't wait to make more things out of it...
