chocolate if you answer yes then you would love these delicious balls they are quick to make and perfect as a snack or dessert to go with your cup of tea or coffee what i like the most about these balls is that there is no added sugar just the natural sweetness of the dates read more posted by larisa at 16 37 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels gift ideas kitchen recipes friday 12 may 2017 tutorial baby linen bib with a hexagon panel this is pretty much a step by step process of how to make this hexagon baby bib it really is a quick and fun way to create something cute for your little one i am using amy s from nanacompany bib template for this tutorial there are two reasons for that firstly i really like the particular shape of this bib and it was the original bib i made for my little one but unfortunately it got lost secondly for a few reasons we still don t have a printer at home i know it s crazy after our little one destroyed the old one a few months back i cannot really design anything at the moment that requires printing or scanning this shape is really great and suits older babies from about 4 6 months when they need it the most i have designed a smaller bib of a different shape for my little one and it was perfect for him while he was a newborn i might write a tutorial for that later ok let s get started for this bib as the name and the photo suggest you will need to make 18 hexagons they are fun to make and you can get really creative here once you have 18 1 hexagons sew them into a panel as shown in the photo above

recipe what is your favourite season of the year i honestly cannot decide i think i love all four of them because each has something unique and special about it and without one i would not enjoy the rest after a hot and sunny summer i am embracing the autumn with my open arms i love the slight coolness of the morning air heavy rains and grey skies yellowing leaves dancing in the wind and chilly evenings autumn is always the time when i start craving hot chocolate with both hands gently wrapped around a warm cup and savouring every sip of that delicious drink cozily snuggled up on a couch

that i keep in a special box this little guy was left forgotten pretty much since the very beginning of my sewing journey but i am happy to say that it s all done and dusted now the embroidery is a copy of a photo of a small figurine that was given to my husband by his parents when he was little we still have this special toy and it sits happily in a glass cabinet with my doll collection i was going to make a fabric envelope and leave the embroidery as a pencil sketch just brown outlines i only added some fabric for the ball at that time but when i pulled it out recently i felt like it needed some colour so i filled the outlines with some colourful threads read more posted by larisa at 04 49 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels

little one turning into a real boy and giving up his day sleep and the summer school holidays i find it more challenging to dedicate any time to my blog than ever before i am spending snippets of my spare time sewing and reading but mostly it s all about chasing my little monkey but i do come here regularly and i am so grateful to you for visiting me leaving your comments asking questions and following my sewing adventures your support and encouragement is very important and dear to me thank you all so much i hope you are having a good and very creative beginning of the year i cannot

stuff kitchen mug rug placemats saturday 31 december 2016 goodbye year 2016 the year is pretty much over with just a few hours left before we begin a new journey through 2017 i look back and feel that the year for me has gone by too quickly sometimes days and even weeks were rushed by without much realisation or productivity they came and went in some kind of a sleep deprived haze i know it s just a phase and it will pass like everything in our lives but my goal for the next year is to slow down and concentrate on the happiness of every single moment no matter what i do or how tired i might

rug placemats pot holders pouches quilting friday 30 december 2016 a set of christmas coasters that i made for this christmas and no one wants to use them not because we don t like them but quite the opposite the boys are saying that they are too pretty and nice to be used for something like a cup of tea that might stain the coaster well i kind of agree with them the coasters turned out so sweet that i myself keep looking at them and fiddling with them while having my cup of tea and trying my best to keep my cup on the very corner of a coaster or using a different mug rug all together that s ridiculous and we should stop this nonsense once and for all and enjoy using the things i make no matter how much we love them right read more posted by larisa at 19 55 4 comments email this blogthis
