Look Jenny, I'm making!

I promised you finished products and here we have finished products! My first batch of exclusively ''makey do'' products. (see Jenny, I told you I would get on with it!) These six pincushions won't be going in the shop, tempted as I am.I am also making amazing progress with my comissioned piece and I really hope to have this finished by the weekend. I made my paper lace

and here it is added to the now joined hexagons. Told you I had plans, I have been sending regular image updates to the person who asked me to make this, terrified I wouldn't come up to scratch, she seems really happy with how it's coming though....PHEW!!!

I have more plans, for the edge, and the whole thing should come together really well when everything is joined, backed and edged.


I had so many responses to my little paranoid outburst on monday, thanks everyone. It seems it is more than likely a computer glitch or someone leaving the computer to go on holiday or similar!! Funnily enough Jackie e-mailed me to say her stat counter had logged me as being on her blog for 23 hours!! So that's why I never get enough work done! I wish. So it seems I have nothing to fear...........fingers crossed! I've also recently had a lot of comments from people with ''no reply'' available, so I will reply here.....thanks so much for visiting....please enable a reply facility, please, pretty please, and to Claire (Australia) for some reason I couldn't access your comment facility, I just wanted to say what an amazingly beautiful little man you have there, congratulations.
Well that's the oscar speech finished, no tears either!

I can't imagine anyone not being pleased with what you do, it is always a delight. The paper lace is amazing and looks so good with the hexagons. So glad you have had such a productive week, the pin cushions are beautiful
