Procrastination at the sewing station!

I have to apologise in advance for what is going to be a very short, and possible haphazard post today! I feel like I am surrounded by a thousand Philistines, and don't quite know which one to have a stab at first! Such, it seems, are the many little jobs I still need to complete in readiness for Monday's May Fayre. I don't have all my ducks in a row just yet! So, just a quick one to show you what I have been up to this week! (And to procrastinate yet again!)

As most of you probably know, it's the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this year, which marks 60 year's of her reign. Celebrations will be taking place all over the UK. I have decided to make a special edition of these little mice to mark this occasion.

Little mice...


Jubilee Mouse 2012...


As well as lots of sewing, I also made these little button bouquet brooches for the May Fayre...


And little Posh Pooch Brooches/Keyrings...





A whole litter! ♥


I have sustained the odd injury in the process of abundant sewing. Boy, they forgot to put a warning on the new pack of needles I bought. It should say: 'Take care. Do not use when you're sooooo tired that you can see two of them!Sharp!!!!!'

Anyhow, loads to get on with, so will say cheerio for now. Have a super weekend wherever your feet may take you!

Blessings, Tania ♥

    Hey Tania, I am curious if you sell your products. Maybe through an Etsy shop. I love your little mice and would love to buy one of your Jubilee Mice. Let me know. Wish your day wasn't so crazy.

      Hi Tiff! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. It's been a little crazy around here, and I'm trying to catch my breath! I will be selling all my bits on Etsy as from the end of May. I'm just busy getting all my ducks in a row. Please look out for this, but I will keep you all posted through my blog. I hope all is well with you. Much love ♥

    Dear sweet Tania,
    I just had to pop in, again, and ask how your May Faire went...I hope your lovelies sold like hot cakes! Your little Commemorative Mouse is adorable! You are so creative...your choice of color, print and fine little creatures is so delightful! I'm sure they put a smile on many faces!

    I nominated you for the "Sunshine Award", Tania. If you decline, please, know that I understand. I know it takes a bit of time that you may not have...But, I just wanted to express how much I love visiting your darling blog!

    Hi Melinda! Welcome to my blog, and thank you for becoming a follower! Thank you so much for your lovely comments! The little button brooches were inspired by something I had seen at a show a while back, and I thought I'd try making mine using a combination of new and vintage buttons, wire and ribbon. I had to fiddle and play with them until I got them the way I wanted them to look. I haven't done a tutorial on these, but maybe I should! Have a happy week! Tania ♥
