I haven't posted for a week or so, not because I have been slacking off, but because I have been so busy working on designs and drawings for my colour module related to the Aztecs. Here are a few pictures of my sketchbook and collages, which I will need to mount into a portolio.

I have also embarked on a few other little projects. The first was to re-organise all my craft things, and I now have two cupboards full of baskets, with (badly!) embroidered labels. Here is one of the cupboards;
Also, last weekend was a big weekend for me, as I turned the big 3-0. I was thoroughly spoilt by all my friends and family and I was lucky enough to get some birthday money, which I have put to good use and spend on, you guessed it, lots of craft things. Here is a little selection of the delights that have been arriving through the post...

More Hungry Caterpillar fabric - I love it!! |
|
And a Christmas one - I couldn't resist |
|
The DVD I have wanted for ages - I watched it online, so inspirational |
And finally, I have been making a curtain for the utility room, as it is a very boring, functional room and I thought it needed brightening up. It is still a work in progress but I did quickly make a runner for the top of the tumble dryer in the same fabric...
Watch this space for the curtain! Well I think that's enough for one post, but I will post again soon with details of a gorgeous crafty birthday gift that I recieved from a special friend of mine...
