Birds of a Feather.

Well what an amazing weekend we had at Urban Stitches 2012!!!  It was such a hoot that I almost can't wait for next year!  

There were so many smiling faces, friendships formed, ideas swapped, goodies purchases, stitches stitched, and jokes shared... and I probably shouldn't forget tummies filled!  What more could you possibly want in a day?

So now that Urban Stitches is complete for the year I can share my project from the weekend with you all. This pattern is now released and the best news is that it comes with the pre-printed linen for the peacock stitchery panel enclosed!! All you need to do is pick your fabrics and matching threads and you are ready to stitch!

A cute little carry bag that is also super suitable as a project bag (perfect size to fit your hoop and bits and pieces).

Now that Urban Stitches is complete it is also time to start madly focusing on "Imagine... Mauritius" which is only 3 weeks away, as well as my wonderful wedding which is only 7 and a half weeks away.... EEEEEK!! I am so unbelievably excited!!

This part of the year really holds too many wonderful things that it is difficult to not let my head get stuck in the clouds. But I must keep stitching. I hope this bags inspires you to some new creativity too!

Mini Magoos!

Ever since I first created my favorite softie “Magoo”, I have been hoping to make him some cute little children.  Well the time has finally arrived and I have had ever so much fun making this gorgeous pair and their cute as a button outfits!  Meet Max and Mimi.

I know there have often been many requests for a smaller version as well as for a girl Magoo, so it was time to put together my thoughts over the years to match your requests.  It certainly wasnt a chore to have to make this sweet dress for Mimi! And Max's overalls are just as much fun!!

These monkeys are the perfect size to become children of your own Magoo or are an easy to handle version for smaller babies and toddlers.  To give a little perspective on sizing, here they are being cuddles by my well loved original Magoo.

The pattern is all written up and ready to go, so if you want to create your own set of Mini Magoos be sure to ask your local patchwork store!!

I hope you adore Max and Mimi, I know I am gonna have trouble parting with mine as they begin their life as samples.....
