Craft Group
It’s been a little while since I told you what I’ve been doing at craft group, hasn’t it?!
Well, I haven’t been for quite a few weeks because of sickness, uni, and work, so this week I finished off some projects that were well overdue! This little bag below is one of the things I just finished off. I’ve filled it with the embroidery projects I have to finsih (there are WAY too many of them in there!!) When I was making it I even had a play with some of the cute decorative stitches. Definitely want to get myself a nicer sewing machine with stitches other then straight and zig zag!
I’m thinking of putting up a little “how to” for this bag, so stay tuned for that soon! One of the things I love, love, love about craft group is the fact that we all use the same pattern, and end up with such beautifully different pieces in the end! It’s mostly just from the colours we choose, but also the emblishments that each person adds!
I’ve also NEARLY finished my angels… I sewed their little wings together, and now I just need to decide if I want to do anything else to them (I’m thinking no…, what do you think?).
I’m not sure if there is a pattern for these angels or not… possibly from a Homespun magazine… I will try and find it for you if want, just let me know in the comments, or send me an email (talia.carbis (@) gmail.com).
Last week the girls made the CUTEST little owls from Claire‘s pattern. You can buy and download the pattern here- it’s only $10 and they are quite fun to make! I’m a little way behind with mine- I just have a half finished one. I’m using a grey and purple sock, so it will be super cute! I think I might make some for a friend who going to have a baby soon(ish)!
ALSO I’ve made a fan page for this blog (and my other hobbies) on facebook! So if you’ve got facebook then go check it out and become a fan!
Pop, Pop, POP!
This week I’m popping up a few other places around the web.
I’ve started contributing to a group blog- Journey To The New Us, to track my weight loss. I may/may not post menuy plans there. Stay tuned here though for recipes and the regular updates. 
You might also see me on the sidebar at Hello Owl, one of my most FAVOURITE blogs. Do you like my little add?! Dani is such a gem and gave away some free advertising spaces, which I was lucky enough to get one of! If you haven’t stopped by there before, do so. And if you’ve come here because of that link, WELCOME! I think (hope?!) you’ll find this blog interesting enough to keep coming back. If you ever have any suggestions, you’re welcome to let me know what they are. 
I have some EXCITING NEWS that I will be posting later today, so stay tuned for that!
True Love
I think my true love is embroidery. It is beautiful, cute, funky, sweet… whatever you make it! It’s not hard, and it looks effective. This is my kinda craft.
So I’ve decided to start a few embroidery projects, and here they are. I’ve added the pdfs of the pictures (owl, birdcage) I’m using as the guide so that YOU can embroider with me! Lets see who gets it done first!!
