I now only need hubby to put me up a couple of "big" shelves so I've got a place for crafty books and can get all the other "non essential" stuff off my desk!
Okay, now onto the crafting bit. I needed to make some quick raffle prizes for my sewing group, so browsing the internet I came across this tutorial for a fabric tissue holder by Fiona at Two Brown Birds. This really is a very easy make (suitable for a beginner if any one fancies giving it a try!).
I'd like to link to Handmade Monday.
Okay dokes, that's me for now. I probably won't "see" you again until next weekend when I have my Kaffe Fassett workshop! So looking forward to it.
Wishing you all a lovely week. Thanks for popping in.
Suze xx

Oh how I wish I had cleared my craft room out before my back went! I hate seeing the mess without being able to get in there!. Your purple fabric on the tissue covers is lovely!
Very lovely tissue holders, and how lovely to have a tidy craft room:)
What a handy make!
These are gorgeous! Well done on the clearing out and tidying, I have been doing the same thing here! Hugs, Valerie
Well done for tidying your craft room, im sure it was quite a task. I have to admit mine is just a dumping corner in the living room :-/
great little tissue holders, Cant wait to hear about your meet with Kaffe xx
Absolutely love this idea.
I will sound as though I am living in a bygone era but every day I use a cotton hankie - I know, I am not even 50 and behaving as though I am an old Grannie LOL.
How wonderful to be attending one of his workshops. Before I discovered stamping I would work on large cross-stitch designs and also tapestries and have worked from his kits.
Have an amazing time and remember to tell us all about it!

P.S. Stop shining that halo!!!!!

Congrats on your clear out, makes you feel good eh? :D Love your new tissue holders Suze, you really are a wizz at this sewing lark!! Have a wonderful time at your workshop, he is an inspiration, I am in awe when I see his makes :D Gay x
I love the fabric you've used to make the tissue holders, I made some early in the summer and they are perfect in my bag.
A super gift idea, they all look so pretty.

Gorgeous tissue covers and I absolutely love the fabric. All the best with your workshop! x
Wonderful patterns and colors, great job!
what pretty little tissue holders, always handy to pop into a handbag/pocket.
These are fab! I made myself a tissue holder a while ago and use it all the time - much better than a plastic packet!
These look fab Suze and I'm sure they will do well at your fairs. x
How classy it would be to pull one of these beauties out of my purse when I need a tissue! Really awesome, Suze!!
And, yes, a bright shiny halo award goes to you for all that hard work and reorganization! You know that makes my heart pitter-patter!! Hugs, Darnell
