My New Design Wall...

I have always wanted a design wall but the price tag has always stopped me.

Well I'm lucky enough to have a Handy Husband

 who was only too happy to help me make one,

 OK, he probably did more than I did but I had to

 take action shots, :)
It's not the super gorgeous but it will keep me happy.
This is a photo heavy blog but it might help you build your own!!!

Two pieces MDF laying on Wadding

Staple Gun very Handy...

My new Sister Kelli has passed an award on to me , it's called the Liebster Award.

I also get to pass it on to 3 of my favorite blogs to visit.

Here Goes....

1. Creativity amongst chaos, this site is a must visit, Cori has the most amazing little birdie applique quilts.

She is currently doing a BOM called Rosie Tweet.

I have signed up for it so you will see my blocks as I make them.

2. And then what'd she say, I get a lot of inspiration from Ruth as she is a little Quirky with everything she creates.

3. Stitchnbits, What can I say , Amelia has very similar tastes to me so I always like to see what she's up too.

Please go visit these blogs, you will be very inspired by these clever ladies,

Happy 2011...

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season, I know I did!

I feel invigorated to create and have been happily doing so...

Starting with Little Miss Shabby's Birdie stitchery block of the month.

 for the 2.5" squares and will strip piece them.

These are my DMC Colours....
