Liebster Blog Award



Ok.  I'll admit it.  I had no idea what "Liebster Blog" meant, although I've noticed it on a few blogs I follow.   Apparently,  "Liebster Blog" is German and means something like "My favorite blog".   

How lovely to find myself nominated.

Thank you Cindy for nominating me, it's such a great idea to help us smaller blogs get noticed.  Do please check out her Tops to Treasures blog, it's a lovely one to follow.

By accepting the award I have agreed to the following...

  1. Thank the person who gave you the award
  2. Link back to their blog 
  3. Copy and paste the Liebster award to your profile
  4. Pick 5 blogs that you feel deserve to be in the spotlight (they must have under 200 followers) 
That was simple work!  Now to find 5 blogs to nominate.  There's so many I follow, but until I investigate, I can't say I've ever paid any attention to the number of followers. 





My Liebster Blog nominations.....


(In no particular order)

1.  Sally and her Lavender Attic blog.  With a profile that I could have written myself, how could I not follow?

2.  Sarah and her So Sarah Sews blog. For bright fresh and colourful quilting.

3.  Making Rebecca Lynne for interesting posts - and having just clicked on the latest one - can't wait to have a go myself!

4.  Kathy's Crazy Moments for a lovely looking craft inspired blog.

5.  Candie Cooper and her Savvy Crafter's Journal  An eclectic mix of crafting bit and bobs.

Katy Bag

Today my latest bag design is going to my friend Kate for her birthday - hence the name. I hope she likes it! This is a nice roomy bag, with long comfortable handles - ideal for slinging over your shoulder. For the front pocket I've slightly gathered the fabric and channelled elastic through before sewing in place. To make the bag I used two half yards for the outside and lining, and a fat quarter for the pockets. To inter-line I used fabric cut from a bargain Ikea fleece blanket.... there really is no cheaper way to buy fleece - more than a metre of lovely fine material for just over £1! Of course, I've added my "designer" buttons. I'm still very much in love with them. For detail I've added a fob on one side, with a long fabric tie in a bow. With several darts across the upper third of the bag, the finished effect is slightly puffy. The inter-lining gives the bag good form and structure. The lining is a lovely contrast. I...

Shabby Chic? Definitely Shabby!

I did say I'd share my DIY disaster with you...... Brace yourselves - you may need sunglasses: Snort!  When I started the makeover I can assure you this wasn't my intention.  I had a 70's dressing table that was a nice shape, but a vile wood.  I thought I would transform it by painting it fuchsia to match my bedroom.  10 hours later (2 coats undercoat, 3 topcoat) it was looking good.  Until the top coat starting to flake off before my eyes.  I could have cried - indeed I think I did. Since then it's been sitting in the bedroom annoying me.  It's too heavy to lift out on my own, and anyways I've nothing else to replace it with.  The thought of starting to paint it again doesn't bear thinking about.  So in a DIY frenzy, I attacked it with wire wool. I think I got a bit carried away!  The result is something that gives a whole new meaning to shabby chic.  However, at least it looks intentional and boldly scruffy.  An...

It just fell in..........

to my Amazon Shopping Basket - honest it did! Feeling the urge? ......  Click HERE to "pop" to Amazon UK's pre-order page You know what it's like.......  see a tweet, catch a Facebook post in the corner of your eye.  Within seconds, you've "liked" it - and popped over to Amazon for a quick shufty (as you do).  And.... before you know it - you've added it to your basket and pressed the "1-click" (oh boy - but is that the best bit of marketing genius EVER).  Hey presto - you've bought another book on auto-pilot. Seriously though - I can't wait for this one! Despite now being a fully paid up member of the Sis Boom "Happy Home" Society (now there's an idea Jennifer!) - I now have to sit and wait patiently for it to arrive, as it's not due out for a wee while. "HURRY UP AND PRINT - DARN YOU" I absolutely adore Jennifer's prints and designs - and I just know this will be a "happy...
