It's my last child free day before Market and I have polished off an avocado and a box of Jatz whilst reading blogs all freaking morning! I have 3 hours until the middle child returns and I need to get cracking!!
I have finished all new terry bibs (about 14 I think) so I hope they will find new homes on Sunday. I enjoyed making these little trees, my mother in law said my applique is much better than when I first started, coming from a total sewing freak (this woman can make anything) it gave me a nice little boost.
I also covered about a million (or around 16) buttons last night whilst watching
Studio 60, to make little hair ties. I actually want to hide some of these from my sister so I can keep them for my girls (well just Lucia and Eva really), Siena would rather clean the guinea pig cage 5 times over than wear floral buttons in her hair.
These 2 sweeties are my favourite. I just adore this blue fabric from Holland Fabric House, it's divine.

Quick I will distract your sister, and you hid them and we shall never speak of the missing 16 button again. I agree with your favourite choices.
It never ceases to amaze just how many hours fly by when I am reading blogs. Your bibs and hair ties are gorgeous! Best of luck at the market!
It all looks so cute!
Your bibs are stunning Sophie. I love the appliquéd tree. Eating avocado and reading blogs sounds like a very nice way to spend a morning....
I actually just cut some fabric to make bibs for a pregnant friend (well, for her baby!). I love your fabrics, and those appliqués are beautiful!
Best of luck with the production line, Sophie. It all looks gorgeous.....
Oh they are all gorgeous, love the hair ties! (I should be packing boxes for Mathildas, not writing this!!)
OOo the covered buttons are really pretty!
I so know what you're talking about. I too spend lots of time reading blogs, time in which I could sew, or knit, or draw, or ..
On the other hand, those blogs are really inspiring. And if I didn't take the time to read them, I would never see such lovely buttons like yours :-)
Gorgeous buttons - love the last 2 as they match Minnie's smock.
And your applique is great - I love the tree design. But I understand the 'joys' of sewing around all those little leaves - on one of my designs I have about 40 ends to tie off and sew in after sewing around what feels like a gazillion little bits! Fun but very frustrating at times. I hope you got my email about Saturday...

Love your buttons... great fabric! When I first had a go at making them for clippies, I have to admit I became a little addicted. I sat there for hours selecting fabrics with small patterns and pretty colour combinations.
Oooh! Try your jatz with cheese next time... almost as good as making buttons. :)
