My Creative Space


Creative Spacing again with these other gals over here at Kirsty's 
I have been teaching myself free motion quilting, with some help from the crafty mother and a new sewing machine.

Today I stumbled upon this great tutorial at Oh,Fransson and wished I had looked here at bit first!


Anyway, still heaps more to do, so I can continue to work on my technique.  This quilt is for our bed, so no one will be able to scrutinize it too much (and the Mr thinks it looks pretty good).

Can I show off these drum shades again?  Mentioned previously here.
They really pull the room together and I am deleriously happy with them
And while we are talking Bourgie style, take a look at this frock I bought today from Rubylicious.  On sale, I asure you Mr Bountifully (and it is to wear to your graduation darling).

Apologies for the dodgy mirror shots...
