Little things!

It's the little things that please me most of the time......




So, when I saw this mini travel iron for a quid in a table top sale I had to have it.  It goes just right on top of my mini ironing board (£3.50) from Ikea.  In our house I am extremely lucky that the only time I ever do ironing is when ironing fabric I am sewing..... but this does mean the iron and ironing board are often in use when I want them.  Now I just set up my mini kit in the kitchen and I am ridiculously happy! (Plus this iron seems to work better than our old ordinary sized one - but don't tell Mark!)


I have finished my October hipbee block for Jan early ....... This is the first star I have ever made, and I was pretty daunted by this. But actually found it quite straight forward.  So now I want to give smaller and more adventurous stars a go.  Check out our flickr group for some really amazing stars, including stars within stars and weeny stars.

Maybe I will make stars for my mouthy stitches 2 bag.........

  2. Your little ironing set is just perfect for sewing. The star block turned out well. Do you have a pattern for smaller stars? I can help if you don't. Di x
