My sewing circle

Found a fab website yesterday. I decided to try a different sewing magazine to the one I bought for my holiday and this time bought 'Sew Hip' (bought 'sew' last time-bit on the expensive side). Anyway, there was an article about a new sewing forum site called www.mysewingcircle.com and I had to check it out straight away. It's great as there are loads of people on there who are obviously amazing sewers-puts me to shame and makes me wonder why people actually buy my stuff!! Anyway, its great and would definitely recommend checking it out.
Anyway, that's all for now

New purse!

Just a quick one. Went to the local fabric shop yesterday and while getting material for an order, some funky green retro print fabric caught my eye. Must have been popular as two other people bought some of the same material while I was there! Anyway, today I decided to make myself a new purse as mine if getting a bit dogeared. I really like it. not sure how practical the design is, but will give it a go. What do you think?

back to reality

Well, I am back from my holiday-had an amazing time in Turkey-lovely weather, food, swimming, new friends and...my 4 year old daughter learnt to swim without floats, so I am a very proud mummy!!
I bought a magazine called 'sew' to read on holiday-quite enjoyable and lots of interesting websites for me to look up now i am at home, but the price was extortionate (£5.99!!!). so, can anyone recommend any similar magazines that may be a touch cheaper?
I havent been able to gain the energy to do any sewing today, but I will definitely be back at the sewing machine tomorrow-I have missed it! (does that make me sad?!)
That's all for now. Would appreciate any advice/help to make my blog more exciting!!!
