I'm a lonely little Petunia......
This week has been mad, MAD I tell you!!! There has been way too much leaving deadlines to the last minute! But that said, I think I have now made up all of my deadline designs and all that is left is to write up the patterns and post the mystery designs to their new homes.
I cannot show you either project that I completed for this club as well as another "to be announced" club but thought I would share some sneak peeks!! I love to tease you all!
hmmmmmm........ what could they be????
I can however show you my new little friend that was completed this week! I have been trying to make a piggy for a couple of months now. You would not think it but poor little Fido was originally destined to be a pig but was having an identity crisis and ended up becoming a dog!!! But this week I also sat down to attempt piggy number 2 and here she is.
Meet Petunia......
She is quite embarrassed as I also asked her to bend over and show off her cute little curly tail, poor Petunia...
I just love her skirt and wish I was brave enough to make a matching one and actually wear it!!!
The next few week are going to be a little quiet from us at Melly & me. I wont call it a blog break as we do hope to at least get a couple of posts up, but we may be a little quieter than usual and also may not get back to any of your emails or comments for a while. There are a few family and business commitments that need to take our main focus but we hope to still find time to do a little bit of crafting and share it with you all!!!
In the meanwhile if you want to see some real eye candy check out Prints Charming's new blog!! I am sure this is going to be a fabulous blog with all those scrumptious fabrics and designs!!! We are about to make some Melly & me samples out of their yummies and will show you photos as they hatch - can't wait!!
May the floss be with you, Melly & Rosie
Nice to meet you Petunia. I love your skirt and the flower in your piggy hair! You’re too cute! Tell your mum Melly she needs to make herself just a skirt like yours! Pretty, pretty!
Take care and good luck all you Flossies with the family and business stuff!

Have a nice break and Petunia is just to cute and I am sure that you could pull that skirt off no probs.

Hey Melly! Poor Fido, fancy being told he wasn't meant to be!!! Or myabe he WAS since the "Petunia Pig #1" looked more doglike!! Petunia #2 is a sweetie! Savour your family moments and I'll look forward to the fun you have to share once you're back from you 'rest'! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)

No Melly, those sneak previews are of no help what-so-ever. No you are going to keep us in suspense aren't you?
Love little Petunia and that skirt is to die for. Excuse me with the protruding tail.....
She's just beautiful.

The sneak preview just has me marvelling at how straight you gals can sew to the edge of the fabric! Oh and wondering what they are of course! Petunia is just perfect.Pink, pretty and perfect. Petunia Perfect! - Jen

Petunia is adorable!!! I love her little skirt and that little piggy tail, oh my! She's so very sweet! I'd like a skirt to match Petunia's too.
Can't wait to see what your sneak peek projects are. We'll all just have to keep coming back till we find out what you're up to. Hope you have a productive few weeks! .

You are too funny! A pig with a pleated skirt. Of course you should have one just like it!
(I guess I'm not the only one who thinks so either!)
