Have you missed me?
I have been on Flickr quite a bit and trying to get two children settled at school, one adult ready for Uni and working around a growing pup!
It has been a bit of a challenge!
Throw in catching up on the sewing I didn't get around to in August and something had to give - blogging was the one!
Anyway here is one thing I have caught up with - the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap! I was invited to join by the lovely Oneygirl! or Leona who I had met through my first bee! Who can refuse an invite? Not me anyhow...
I didn't get much information from my partner - who likes everything and has no preferences! Can I just say now that I find it really hard to find inspiration from these statements - isn't it just a little bit open and for me unhelpful!? Sorry partner but there it is!
Anyway I finally decided what to do - a coin purse featuring two possible favourite colours (I hope)! Grey and yellow! Good combination I thought!
Then I decided on a star as the theme....
A Lu Summers inspired star shaped porthole with some yellow scraps from Katy - how could I go wrong?
My partner seemed to like dots so I shared my collection and added some pinks that she seems to like too! Hope I guessed correctly?? Time will tell...maybe!
Lovely make and if she likes everything then she will love this. Missed you blogging but chat to you all the time anyway so don't quite feel like you have been missing.
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous, and if she doesn't like it then I will have it. You know, just to help out. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSorry, who are you again? ;o)
ReplyDeleteCute wee purse anyway, despite the lack of direction!
Your purse is adorable....reminds me of a pear...and the story of the Star Bellied Sneetches from Dr. Soos.....those are good things.
ReplyDeleteHope September is more peaceful.
Well, I am not in that swap, so it is not for me, so, I can be devastatingly honest about this one. Yup, I would like to have that in my hand,I would caress it and gloat over it, and just be totally made up with it! How not?
ReplyDeleteOne lucky partner!
Cute and stylish. Hope all the youngsters are now settled. four legs or two!
The purse is wonderful - thank goodness you caught up, I was beginning to worry!!
ReplyDeleteWow that is one lovely purse. I love the shape and colours too.
ReplyDeletePurse + porthole + scrappy = scrummy! Your partner is in for a treat. Di x
ReplyDeleteHahaha I know just what you mean some partners can be so vague...and then not comment even once!!
ReplyDeleteI love the purse you made your partner and the fun set of scraps too! =D
Lovely purse Nicky.
ReplyDeleteHope you are stocking up on hankies ready for uni starting!
sounds like you have been busy! when I saw your post I realised how long you have been m.i.a. Hope all the kiddos are settled.
ReplyDeleteLove your purse. Everything you make is amazing. You would be the perfect person to say 'I like everything and no preferences' too.
Your little purse is darling !
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the swap, so my vote doesnt count, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice purse. I'm sure your partner will love it!
ReplyDeleteHow could your partner not like the little purse, it is lovely and a lot of time and effort has gone into making it. Have missed you SS.
ReplyDeleteThat's just smashing. I love the pieced twist on a porthole and the yellow/grey combo is perfect. Great make!
ReplyDeleteUh Oh! I'm in the swap and that sounds exactly like something I wrote! If this beauty is coming my way, I'm thrilled! I'll try better next time!:-)
ReplyDeleteThat is cute. Love the star!
ReplyDeleteThe star is brilliant! Cute purse :)
