What do you do with a part-done project?

You know...

the one that seemed like a good idea

6 months ago?

I guess you could

 sit on it some more, finish it,

or

make

something else.

I went with the last option.

What was supposed to be

a light, bright, & airy quilt has now been transformed into

  four fresh seat covers!

Sneaky eh?

I thought so too.

Charmed seat covers

completed equals

1 x outstanding 2011 sewing project -  done!

1 x DIY project  - added to my 2012 project list.

(sigh)

As it turns out,

it's the chairs that need a make-over,

not the seat covers.

I wonder if I can spray paint them?

Remember my Kaffe Fusion Blanket?

I have just discovered that it

made it into the Best of Craft 2011: Quilting

feature over at CRAFT:

(Thank you Rachel Hobson!)

Surprised? - you betcha. Pleased? - as punch.

and...

My blanket has also appreared on Craft Gossip.

Huge thanks

to Khris over at Freebies for Crafters for giving them

the heads up.

Finally,

a massive thank you

to all of you who have taken the time to stop by,

spread the word

pinned

tweeted

&

reblogged about Sewing Daisies.

Thank you!!

Yay!

It's 2012

&

I am back on track.

(well nearly)

I didn't realise you were off the tracks...

Ahh you are back - Happy New Year.

Ditto!

As I was saying, I am back on track.

I have had a think about what I want to achieve in 2012,

and I think I have nailed it.

I am going to carry on as usual.

So drinking tea & 

 staring out of the window all day...

Ha ha very funny.

No, by 'usual' I mean tinkering with crochet,

sewing and papery stuff.

There is so much to explore!

To help,

I have devised a new challenge. I call it  

3M

Brilliant! I love sticky tape, tell me more.

Well, in 2012

I will be trying out patterns from

Martha

Mollie Makes

&  

Made by You

and writing up my progress, just like I did with SEW Hip!.

 So no sticky tape?

No.

I know who Martha is but...

Mollie Makes

is a fabulous UK handcraft magazine

that came out last year,

& Made by You

 refers to all those wonderful tutorials and patterns

dreamt up by fabulous bloggers like

 Michele Made Me

Have you got anything else planned for

Sewing Daisies?

Kind of...

I have decided to reformat

Flickr Fest Best

& I will be introducing 2 little features;

Dreamy. Dreamier. Divine.

#secretsydney

The first feature

will highlight the awesome products, designs & patterns

I find along the way online in 2012

and

#secretsydney will showcase my new  iphone

photography challenge.

iPhone?

Don't you have an awesome camera?

I do, but I always forget to take

it out with me.

iPhone = No Excuses!

No Excuses - I will hold you to that!!

I love the way you relish a good buttkicking.

If I havn't posted up a photo by the end of next week

kick away!

Now off to find some 3M projects

to play with.

Have a wonderful day!
