Tuesday Stack - Handmade Envelopes

This afternoon I have been having fun making envelopes.  We use the envelopes in store for packaging of small gifts and also for our gift vouchers.  

I find the making of them very therapeutic.  They don't take any major thinking or skills but the end result is very satisfying.

There are two sizes in store and you can find them here and here.

Tuesday Stack - A Bunch of Flowers

It is winter here now and it has been a wet and nasty day; adding to the gloom is the fact that it is dark by 5 pm, so I needed some cheering up - these fabrics do this for me. 

Included in this stack are:

Sphere Milky Way by Moda

Flower Sugar Raspberry by Lecien

Fox Field Scribbles in Shade by Tula Pink

Flower Sugar Blue by Lecien

Going Dotty Pink By Kokka

Patchwork Please! - A book I need to buy

I often trial books, before I buy them, by taking them out of the library first.  Sometimes books can be a triumph of styling over actual substance.  I recently did this with Patchwork Please! by Ayumi Takahashi and for me this is a book that I need to purchase.  The projects and the styling are great. There are several projects that I want to do.

So far I am obsessed with the envelopes:

With this envelope I used the instructions from Zoe the Zombie Apocalypse doll, with some Miffy fabric I bought in Japan.  The on below uses some Red Cookie fabric which I have had squirrelled away.

There are a number of other projects in this book that I would like to try.

Are there any books that you can recommend?
