50's goddess...?

New obsession????Hand sewing!Love it,love it,LOVE IT!!! (literally hand sewing,no machine here!)

Here's a few things I have done lately :)

 Cushion covers for the girls room.
 Not the best photo,but Isabella's quilt all done.The back is plain calico and the bottom is done with buttons.
Isabella's name embroidered in case you cant tell haha.

I have also made Sienna a quilt of her own,sewn the girls and I some skirts,and am in the process of making a quilt for our bed (which is taking much longer haha,but Hamilton is cold ok!I need to be warm).Shhhh don't tell,but I am also sewing the girls pink calico rabbits for Christmas this year.I decided because their birthdays (in February) are so close to Christmas I would make their Christmas presents this year :) My mum gave Steve some wood so he is going to make them a doll's cot each and I'll sew bedding and mini quilts for their rabbits :) Hopefully they will like it.
Also have a bunch of fabric to make more skirts for us girls (seriously as a teen I hated skirts or dresses,but now I would live in them if I could!).

-oh and I have also made a baby blanket for a friends little girl,but the camera batteries died before I gave it to her and couldn't take a photo.I was amazed I sewed it in one day,whereas the girls polar fleece blankets I made them two Christmases ago took me 3 months!!!
