More Trips to the post office!!

The people at the post office are going to get sick of seeing me! So glad I can get 4 packages posted off tomorrow though so maybe they won't have to see me for a while.
If you haven't already joined the fun at Lucy's then head on over to the

Charm About You
It's been great fun seeing all the fabrics people have from different parts of the world!! Sending 2 packages to the USA and 2 to Australia!! I'll be waiting patiently for my packages to arrive. Next month is going to be interesting!

However it's still March. I still have yet to decide which project to use for

Scrap Attack Quilt-Along
The linky party starts next Monday!!!! I have some ideas in the pipelines...hopefully I get at least the top done by then! 
I just got my order from The Fat Quarter shop!!! pictures will be up tomorrow! I'll be using some of my order for 


Fresh Poppy Design
I still have a week left so I need to get my Sew on! Good thing I wont be at work next week!! hopefully I can get 2 more quilts done by the end of the month, as well as finishing up my 2 Hexie projects!!

I also managed to get finished 4 of the blue/green Granny Square blocks!

Some of the corner pieces are slightly askew! Hopefully they neaten up when I trim the edges! Tomorrow will be the last blue/green block and make a dent in the red/orange/yellow =D

Help please!

I'm looking for a zippered pouch tutorial. After seeing the ones bloggers have been receiving from swaps, I'd really like to make one of my own. If anyone knows of any good tutorials or has one of their own, please post a link here.
Thanks for your help =D

I'm a Winner!

More Charity shop buys

Today we were sent home from work early......again....they have also terminated my temporary contract, due to there not being much work. My last day is this Friday 23rd! *Sigh* Time to find a new job....anyone know any good ones going in the UK.....I'd love to work in a fabric shop! Good thing I saved some money up =D

My dear friend Fi and I came up with the idea to open our own online shop....this won't be until next year however as we're taking this year to build up some money...make the items we want to sell and gain some perspective in the selling world. We know what we want to sell-Handmade items...most of mine sewn and hers will be cool candles and picture items.
So I've been looking around for some interesting glasses to use for the candles..We plan to make jelly candles as well as wax ones!

So onto the glasses....they ranged from 20p to 30p each. The glasses in the last picture have one more in each glass..




I also got a few buttons from the charity shop! 5p each!!
