Instagram Beatrix Potter Swap

Hello,

I hope everyone is well, fit and happy!  Its starting to get a bit chilly here, in my little part of the UK!

Over on Instagram, I took part in a Beatrix Potter crafting swap.  I totally loved it.  

My parcel was received by my partner yesterday, so now I can reveal what I made and sent.

Her favourite character is Hunca Munca from the tale of two bad mice.  I had great fun making and creating a tote bag and a lap quilt.  I also added in a few extra goodies

I must see if I can find anymore swaps to participate in!

Have a great day and stay safe.
Hugs Heather

Memory Teddy Bear & Making Memories 💖

Hello to you all!, 

The past few evening I have just been having a 'mess about' with different techniques.

Also having a go at making a memory bear!

I must admit that making the bear is not a difficult or complicated as I thought.

I will definitely be making more!  

I also made a corner book mark, another tote bags along with quilt blocks 😀

It has been a busy few week here. Back to school next week so my little fashion trendy children had to have their hair put back to 'normal!!  They were very disappointed! I must finish getting the school uniforms sorted!  I hate this part of returning to school hahaha!!  I shall enjoy the tidy house though!

I am going to get my bear finished whilst the children are at their fathers, then organise the uniform for Monday!

Have fun, stay safe.
Hugs Heather

Holiday, New Baby and Sewing

Hello everyone!

I really need to get into the swing of blogging more often again!

My mum came over for a short break, so we went to Portrush for a few days.  We visited Giants Causeway on the north Coast.  Also had a wonder around a few towns.  it was a lovely relaxing few days.  Mum enjoyed herself, so that's the main thing really! It rained most days, nearly all day too!!

I have a new Grandaughter 😀🍼👶🍼.  Her name is Lexi.  She is totally gorgeous 💘💖💘

Baby Lexi & Big sis Abby

Over the past few weeks, I have been busy sewing for a Beatrix Potter exchange over on Instagram. 

My page is heathermakes_sewing If you use Instagram, it would be lovely to 'see' you on there

Come along way ...

Hello all!

I have been sorting though my photos, I've so many pictures!

Looking back on things, realising I have come along way!!

I have made, I must say I am pleased with myself. I was shown about 3 years ago how to use a sewing machine.

Everything else I have learnt via online  tutorials or you tube videos!!

#HeatherLovesToSew and I hope coming years bring many more exciting and challenging projects 🤩🤗

Have a great day!

Hugs Heather
