Winter in the Adelaide Hills

Well winter has been a long time in coming this year. We've had a really balmy autumn with year, so it's been somewhat of a shock to all of a sudden go to some very chilly mornings. The kids absolutely love it though, and woke up the other morning to find everything frozen. Here's the ice sheet my daughter lifted off the dog's bowl...and frosty mornings lead to the most beautiful of sunny days.

So my thoughts turn once more to being indoors, and cosying up with sewing and crochet projects.

I made another Necessary Clutch Wallet, and added even more interfacing to this one. I learned from the first one that I made that it could use even a bit more, and this one turned out so weighty that it feels quite loaded with money already!

This is made from Japanese Chambray once again, and once again has some lovely Liberty fabric inside, and also as the piped edging and strap.

I also love how this is versatile enough to be your entire handbag, with enough room to hold your phone, and several extra pockets. The piped edging is such a classy addition that just hints at the riot of colour inside...

I've also had a lot of fun lately joining in with some Instagram challenges...This one has been from our very own Make Modern Magazine...the challenge is to make a mini quilt no bigger than 6", and some of the creative entries are just breathtaking in their mini-ness. This one is done with classic Essex linen and Liberty tiny floral for a sweet look. I was very pleased how this one turned out, at barely 6" square.

And that little quilt along with this tiny little dress is a sneak peak at a very special project I'm working on, and will show you all next week hopefully! This tiny outfit is only 3" high, and as you can probably tell, I am a complete sucker for anything miniature...

I am hosting TGIFF here on Friday, and hope to see you all back here then to link up your fabulous finishes and show them to the world. Here is the button if you would like to add it to your blog...Hope to see you then!
