I've WON!!!

Oh my goodness me!! I've only gone and won a competition!! A huge thank you to Minerva Crafts (http://www.minervacrafts.com) for hosting such an awesome competition! Out of 224 projects submitted, mine got the most votes! I loved seeing all the projects - so many colours and designs!

This is the bag that won - it's a kids messenger bag, and is made entirely from a Fat Quarter. The fabric is also from Minerva Crafts! I've sold it now, but I'll be making some more this week.

I am super excited about winning, and thank you so much to everyone who voted. I'll post a picture of me with my prize when it arrives.

Please visit my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheVeryFatQuarter to see more bags, and more news. There are quite a few bags that I've not taken pictures of yet, but I will be doing that next week after the next round of weekend fairs. The mini lunch tote bags are also proving to be veeeery popular!

AWOL - Again!

Okay, lets face it, I'm rubbish at this whole blogging thing. Seriously. (I know, it's a surprise to me too!) I post every day for a week, then nothing for months. People think I've fallen off the edge of the world, and are readying speeches for my wake .... then I pop up again with another post. HIYA!!

Thing is, I get really busy with ... well, 'stuff'. I'm making, then sorting kids, then making some more, then kids again, then tidying, then shower the kids, then kids to bed, then make some more (and a fair bit of Facebook in between too!) then fall into bed for a few hours, only to wake up and do it all over again. ... Sound familiar? But I love it. I love the making and my kids are great - even if they drive me batty!

So, in short, I promise to post infrequently, with long intervals between, or short ones. But, I will post! So no change there then.

You're all very welcome to join me on my Facebook page, I post slightly more frequently there, and I even have a few photos too!
