Day Out with Thomas...

Yesterday we had a day that was ALL about Jamie. (Like there's any that aren't lol!)

We took him to Colne Valley Railway's Day Out With Thomas - and we all had a great day!
We had a ride on Thomas, and on Daisy, and on a miniature railway too, and saw lots of Thomas' other friends as well...went in the signal box, saw the Fat Controller Sir Topham Hatt...and it didn't rain! Yay!
Here are a few photos of the day I thought I'd share with you...


The steam organ that was playing 2 Thomas theme tunes. ALL. DAY.

Jamie and Daddy - Jamie wasn't sure about the steam organ (it was VERY loud and kept making him jump!)

It really was a fun day, and I would recommend it if you have a Thomas fan in your house!

Thanks for looking!

As it feels like Spring....

I thought I'd share with you this bag I made yesterday...

I designed and drafted the pattern, and made it up myself!

it's called the 'Romance' Bag, and the pattern will be available soon.

This was my first time trying to make this style of fabric flower - I think it turned out ok!

Fabrics used are:

Tanya Whelan - Delilah Roses on Red

Michael Miller - Dumb Dots Fuschia

Riley Blake - Be Merry Polka Dot on Cream

Ribbon - no idea - an odd piece from my stash lol!

and also....see that vase of tulips in the first picture?

That's what Russ surprised me with yesterday morning when he came home from work - what a sweetie he is!

Of course I had to take some pictures - they're too beautiful not to!

Thanks for looking!

New threads!

I ordered myself some new Coats cotton threads the other day from Sew Me Happy...

I took them out today to start bobbin winding and they looked so pretty I had to take a picture!

Look at these.....

Can't wait to get sewing with them!

Thanks for looking

Playing with photoshop...

The more I looked at my blog recently, the more I decided I didn't like the frames I made for my photos - too fussy!

So this morning while Russ was asleep and Jamie was playing (relatively!) quietly with his trains, I thought I'd have a play and see if I could come up with something I liked better!

So here it is....this photo is one of the set I took when I made Jamie's contrast hoodie. This was towards the end of the mini shoot - I think you can tell lol!

So, what do you think - better? 

Thanks for looking!
