With my busy schedule showing no sign of letting up, it may come as no surprise to some of you that another plate has been added to the dozen or so that I’m already spinning. We’re buying our first house! I’m altogether excited, anxious and extremely stressed. As far as the process goes, it’s still early days, but I can’t wait to move in. If all goes to plan we’ll have a nice garden for the dog, a much bigger kitchen and a sewing room for me! The property has an attic, but it hasn’t been converted. So, I’ll be taking up residence in the smallest of three bedrooms, all of which have lots of lovely light, perfect for sewing! I’m so looking forward to planning the layout from scratch and taking on the challenge of finding a home for everything.
As well as the ever-growing fabric stash, Some other things which will need to be housed are the new dies I received from Sizzix a few weeks back. I’ve been itching to play with them since they landed on the door mat! Added to the collection was the 1/2 inch hexagon die, 2″ finished square, 3″ finished square and the 3″ x 6″ finished rectangle. I also received some of the larger Bigz XL 25″ dies for cutting 3″ strips, which will make piecing some of the improv quilts I have planned a breeze.
I’m still working on finishing up a few deadlines, and who knows when it’ll be time to pack up shop and move from the attic, so using these dies may have to wait a little longer. Thank you all for sticking with me. I know the posts here haven’t been as frequent as I’d like, but I can promise you all lots of exciting things are in the pipeline. I’ve got a new blog design waiting to be launched, lots of fabric news and some great projects just waiting to be sewn up! Once everything’s settled down we’ll have a big, celebratory giveaway! In the meantime, be sure to follow me on Instagram, where I post lots of snippets and sneak peeks.
