Sweet Sewing Basket...

I found this lovely sewing basket from a local Op Shop a few weeks back for the low price of $2.00...

Inside its a cute green silk.....

My sister has a similar one that I admired while growing up, it only took me to the age of 33 to get one for myself! I guess better late than never!!

Now I just need to fill it with some sewing goodies....

Yes some husbands can sew....

I found some black work pants at the Op Shop in Ballarat for $5.00. They fit really well except for the length..

I suffer from lack of height, hence all pants I buy are too long...

Finally tonight I set up my sewing machine after we jimmied the cabinet open?! Seems we lost the key in the move...

Mr S did a sewing course for automotive upholestry a few years back! He quickly got in the seat to adjust and re-hem my work pants....

Yes some husbands are extra handy!!!

Organisation...................

Last week I mentioned on my blog the untidy state of my desk! Well I actually have a sewing desk that also came with the house! So I have arranged the back room so that the desk can remain open, Mr S moved the sewing machine for me and I neatly put the cotton on the door. The top drawer has been arranged neatly with all the pins and tape etc... Just don't look in the other three drawers, they are still messy!

Love Fridays..............

What better reason to Love Friday than my first sewing accomplishment in a very long time.

My bathroom wall has Pink paneling in the wet areas, because its an old house.

Photo doesnt quite do the colours justice its a lot brighter pink. I had a Pink Voile curtain hanging there that came with the house so I wanted to add some other colours so I have more choice for different coloured towels etc... The new sewing machine worked a treat, I only had to unpick once because I had a problem with the bobbin......

Check out Bigcats Emporium if you would like to join in Love Fridays..

New Pressie for me.......

Well where do I start?? Im something of a novice when it comes to sewing, over the years Ive made some curtains and shorts but thats about it...
I originally had an old sewing machine but I decided to sell it on Ebay because I wasnt using it at all. Then when I moved I realised I still need a sewing machine to make more curtains for my new house...Anyway I got given a mini sewing machine which I fooloishly thought would do the job...
Yesterday I bought some lovely fabric from Spotlight so I could make some curtains for my bathroom because I cant stand the ugly ones that came with the house. Yes it was a disaster trying to get the mini sewing machine to work. Lets just say its a piece of C#*P!
Lucky for me Mr S took me to Lincraft in Ballarat today and got me a new one! Yipee!!! But Im going to unpack it later today because its beautiful day outside and we have alot of lawn to cut!! Dont worry I do the fun part on the rideon mower and Mr S does the edges etc...
I hope this sewing machine will be nice to use, and maybe I can get abit more crafty like my Big Sis Curly Pops or maybe not...........................
I will be back tomorrow with some new curtains, hopefully!!!!!!!!!!!!!
