Hi there!
Thanks for stopping by...

Our cute little Free for the day pattern is a toy Shark....

My kids buy the dog these kind of toys now and she just hates that squeaking sound so that's always first to go...

Day #6 - Half Way... 12 Days of Christmas '17

Hello there to everyone...

Another lovely day today.....a little overcast, might rain, some sun peeking through. Can only hope it stays this way...




Its Day #6 already and that means we're half way with our giveaway patterns... Time feels as if it is flying....







Today we have a cute little Rubber Ducky block

Same as the others - the pattern measures 10" (26cm) and is on the intermediate level.
Some of the patterns are much easier than the others with only a few sections to sew together, and then some are much more 'work' but in the end - all are super cute!


You can find your Free for the day Duck pattern HERE in my Craftsy Shop...<<<<<

I hope you love this little guy just as much and enjoy sewing it up...


I was asked about the Craftsy shop and Yes, I do have all my patterns over in the Craftsy site, and then a few EBooks in Payhip. Some are at EQ Shop too. Quick links in the right side bar...
I have to use Paypal because its the only way my bank here in South Africa will allow the money to be transferred to me.

Day #5 - 12 Days of Christmas

Hello all...

It's still raining out there..... and I'm loving it! I usually feel a little off colour when the sun isn't shining, but with those over the top hot days we've had this summer, I don't mind the cold or the wet....

Yesterday the internet was soooo slow it wouldn't even upload the images to the blog.... so frustrating!! and when my hubby came home and I'm ranting on about it, he goes to test it and .... but of course its working properly now..... so typical...



Anyhoo.....


Today we have a cute little Rocket with an Astronaut in it...
The pattern measures 10" (26cm) and is on the intermediate level.

As usual it's FREE for the day....


Get your Rocket pattern Here in my Craftsy Shop....<<<<<


I also wanted to show you all the border pattern I made for the Toys. It's a cute Train seen from above. It measures (10x40" (26x102cm).

I will add it with the Rocking Horse to my shop when our 12 small patterns are finished.




This is the plan with the train or without....





















I hope you enjoy sewing them all up!
