...I don't know what's happened to me recently - since I had the flu before Christmas my energy levels have been zero. Creativity levels: zilch. I know it's meant to take you out for a good few weeks after symptoms disappear, but this is getting ridiculous. To spur myself on I'm going to set myself two little goals to finish by the end of January. I have no excuses as I have the materials in my stash, and the patterns are either online or in books I already own. If you don't see the results by the 31st please bully me or....worse...unfollow! No please, I jest, don't unfollow I love all your comments.
Ok, so by the end of January I will have completed:
Tilly's
bow belt - thanks to Tilly for posting this cute tutorial, it's been in the back of my mind for a few months now and I was reminded about it today by
Hayley. By January 31st a bow belt shall be
mine!
Pip from
Meet Me at Mike's "cute as a button vintage clutch".

Hi lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blog follow! Now I get to follow yours too! :-)
I've also set myself crafty goals for this year so I'll be rooting for you :-D

Hey Carly, hope these goals help you get your creative mojo back! I too love Tilly's belt and you've reminded me about her tutorial...must give it a go soon too.
ReplyDeleteI also have a bit of a thing for Pip's clutch bag, which I've made quite a few times as gifts for friends. I found the instructions a little confusing at first, but this could just be me! Anyway, if it helps to see my versions, feel free to take a peek here: http://asewingodyssey.blogspot.com/2010/09/accessories-and-even-more-accessories.html
Good luck!
Marie, your clutches are so cute! I love the brooches too (I'm also a fan of your felt flower brooch http://asewingodyssey.blogspot.com/2010/06/felt-rose-tutorial.html). Thanks for sharing - I am a sewing novice so I'll know who to turn to if I am a little confuddled by the instructions.
ReplyDelete@Jem, I stumbled across your blog today and was immediately smitten, I want everything you've featured. Thanks for stopping by, crafting goals sound interesting, I hope to see some of your craftiness on your blog soon!

Hi Carly, good luck with your goals, not that you need it :) I had a go at making Tilly's belt and I'm really happy with it. The instructions were really easy to follow and even I didn't screw it up too badly :P That clutch is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave fun

HI Carly, you go girl! I love Marie's clutch bags, in fact it was seeing them on her blog that made me buy Meet me at Mike's. You can do it, I promise I'll shout abuse if you don't. Jane x
