The Great Pyramids

Well, not sure about The Great Pyramids, but I have enjoyed sewing these pyramids - the incredibly creative stitchers from Southern Cross Quilters kindly provided me with the instructions, and once I got started I just couldn't stop. Filled with rice or kitty litter they make great doorstops (sand is perhaps better, but messy to work with); filled with a combination of soft toy stuffing with some kitty litter in the middle (fiddly but workable) they are a great way to store brooches, or for pin cushions. The small ones are intended to hold a book open - a great idea if you like to combine a book with a cafe visit. So thank you to the girls who sent me instructions, and ideas ... I am going to put a few on my trading table at this weekend's Lawson market, so wish me luck!

UPDATES

Not sure of how I have been using up my time over the past few weeks (almost the past month!!), but I have been getting ready for a market this weekend in Lawson (in the Blue Mountains), and also adding some new products to www.julesandme.com - I have made some aprons for little girls and for their mums, and also a new painting smock. These did well at a market I did a couple of weeks back, so I am hoping for some success in our online shop as well. I have included a couple of photographs here.

Now that the weather is cooling down, my thoughts are turning to warmer clothes - I am currently searching for some good colours in corduroy for pants, interesting fabrics for PJs, long sleeved t-shirts etc. Will keep you posted.
