Here is my second attempt at a doorstop.

Firstly in situ - note door being held open!





and a close up




I've used fabrics to coordinate with the decor.

Oh, and my daughter's claimed the owl.

absolutely gorgeous - I love it and may have to copy it!!!

Loving the door stop!.
Have downloaded the pattern for the mouse, something that I may be able to use my remenants to make.
Yesterday I made 4 plimsoles bags. Today I have made two canvas shopping bags, with some applique on, I will try and take a photo and put them on later.

My fabric from Plumbs has arrived!.
But they sent it all out on the heavy cardboard rolls??? The postage costs must have been trebled!!!
Its all on the roll inside out, so I cannot remember exactly the prints that I ordered, except for the 50p lining of course!!

Lunch time over, I am not sure how much more sewing I can do at the moment, not through lack of fabrics etc, but through the damage to my arm! Very frustrating.
