 Welcome to Talented Tuesday No. 12!

Last week was super busy for us at home, so I publicly apologising for lack of social media and blog posts!  We are currently selling our house back in the UK and we totally underestimated how complicated it would be!  We are hoping that all the paperwork is now done and dusted, for now anyway!  In between emails and phone calls, I managed to get a couple of items made and we had a lovely Saturday by the bay.

Keep linking up and showing off your talents!  I love spending time reading all the things you guys are sharing with us… thank you!

Don’t forget to follow us!

This was my first time using a polyester knit for a garment and it just didn’t go smoothly. I couldn’t get the collar to sit right, the pleat had disappeared and it was too tight.

 Welcome to Talented Tuesday No. 11!

I loved last week’s link up!  There were so many great posts and so much talent was displayed!  I’ve been back into the swing of blogging this week and have got a couple of things made too.  I don’t know about you, but I always have so many ideas buzzing about in my head… I just don’t know where to start.  I think we all have an endless craft list!

Before we link up, I just need to remind everyone about one of the rules to the link party that seems to be forgotten frequently, only 3 links per blogger please!

We really love to see what everyone links up, but please respect your fellow bloggers and our rules.
