This is what I did in 2007.
I am not sure what 2008 will bring in my craft world. I have ideas (and doubts) but I'll keep you posted.Arriving very very late to the party, I have just signed up and organised bloglines, seriously!!! What was I thinking, checking all my favourite (over 80) blogs every day.........it took so long. Now I just check in and read the blogs of people who have updated. I can't believe I didn't do this months ago. It also means I have added more new blogs to my ever growing list.
I have been having a bit of sewing time - I popped over to Flower garden the other day to make bags. Annie's daughter and our other craft friend Sue was there, we each made a bag.
It's not hard to guess which is mine is it?
I am determined not too keep everything stored in the sewing room this year so this little bag is up for grabs. Just leave a comment today and I'll pop back this evening or in the morning and choose a winner at random.
Ok enough with the teapots I know - this is the last one I promise.
Jodie what fun to be making bags with your friends.
ReplyDeleteLove the New Idea!!
keep up the teapots - they are just so cute.

Crafting with company is much more fun! And why stop making teapots? We're all enjoying them!
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your blog... Don't stop the doing the teapots they are just gorgeous! I have forgotten how wonderful it is working with fabric... I think I will have to drag out all my unfinished quilts and do something! Thanks also for the tut on the teapots I just adore them so much!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the teapots are fantastic, as is the bag. I'm really struggling to find sewing time lately.
ReplyDeleteThat has to change!
Hi Jod, What a successful year you have had crafting. Hope you had a fabby Christmas and New Year. I am just getting back to normal with all my visitors gone and Christmas things packed away. Love the teapot tute and will definitely be using. Could you send me the details of the book you made the little dresses from as well as I love them - will indeed be getting that one. Look forward to some new chenille and new creations. Chat soon. Shaz
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of the things you made last year. The bags are all gorgeous. Just love your teapots, they are fabulous, keep posting pics of them.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all those things you did/made! And there can never be too many teapots! I've got your tutorial on my list - I love them, and the girls will too (and one of them will go beautifully with the chenille cupcakes and cake). I just got onto bloglines about three weeks ago too - it makes such a difference! A huge time-saver!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a cute teapot. I love the red and white polka dots. :p
ReplyDeleteAdd my name in for the beautiful green bag!! I am a such a sucker for green.
Yes bloglines are a huge timesaver. I am determined to make a teapot this weekend. it's the perfect gift for a girlfriend I'm catching up with next week. Love the bag - would match my new Havaianas perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie love the pictures of everything you made this year, thanks for the teapot tutorial (it is on my list of things to do), love the new red and white polka dot one, can you put me in for the bag draw. Thanks Christine (rooster66ian)
ReplyDeleteOMG that teapot!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the red and white spots.....I've been trying to find a real teapot exactly like that for the longest time.....
How good is bloglines? I have about 150 feeds going at the moment, it makes life a hell of a lot easier!

I love your teapots! And the New Idea bag is very cute too.
ReplyDeleteAkkk! How could I forget the teapots?!?!?! I just made my list of to dos...as you already have seen...and for my mom I left it blank! How could I have ever done that! I think I even told you this was perfect for her! Post as many as you make! This one is by far my favorite! Oh oh oh I just remembered your lovely cupcakes...gotta make some of them too!!! Thanks for all you post about!
ReplyDelete;) what a cute bag!
Jodie Jodie Jodie, what a great snapshot of your work in that wonderful photo. We had a wonderful day and I learnt a lot about bag making. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
ReplyDeleteOh Jodie,
ReplyDeleteThe bag and the teapot is lovely. Don't disparage the teapot! It would go lovely with my collection of teapots!
Love Mel!

Ooh ooh, I don't want to miss out this time, so please count me in (if I'm not too late already!)
ReplyDeleteI too haven't sorted out any bloglines and spend ages clicking on blogs to see if they've posted .... maybe sorting that ought to be my New Year's resolution.
The photo montage looks fab, btw.
:)
What an adorable bag... Id love to win it.. and I like the teapots too :) LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd get any housework done if I didn't have bloglines. Plus it stops you looking like a stalker on your favourite blogs. The New Idea bag is so cute.
ReplyDeletegreat photos from last year - looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2008
ReplyDeleteyep, bloglines rocks!
Wonderful. im in awe
ReplyDeleteThe bags are all lovely and what a fab thing to do with friends! The red teapot is beautiful - I may have to make one very soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with 2008 - if 2007 is anything to go by you're going to be very productive!!

As a relatively new reader I feel very cheeky asking to be included in the giveaway draw but that bag is too cute to pass up! I love your ric-rac banner I have a packet just the same! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea pot and that bag is devine. Wow you were busy in 2007 - cant wait to see what 2008 brings you in the crafting world. And you are not the last one to sign up for bloglines - I will have to get that one organised!
ReplyDeleteThat spotty teapot is gorgeous! Please include me in the draw - I love that bag! Seriously impressed with your mosaic photo - I can't seem to make that work and I'd love to be able to! No doubt I'll work it out some time! Lucy x
ReplyDeleteonly 80 blogs? Be careful, now that you have a reader, your list will blossom! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
ReplyDeleteMy 1st time here and I like your style! The name drew me in! I am really like your display of collections, etc. and will be back soon! Marcia
My mother collects teapots and having this tutorial is going to make birthdays so much better. I appreciate all the "trial and error" that went into this. I also have a nearly 6 year old who has decided that she NEEDS one or five. Hope your year stays creative.
ReplyDeleteJodie,
ReplyDeleteHappy new year. Your blog is bursting with inspiration. Keep it up for 2008!
Happy crafting!
ohhhh Jodie I just adore these bags.... they look so super cute vintage .... makes me want to read new idea in the park ....hehe

ReplyDeletecheers

I'm going to try making one of these teapots for my Mother-in-law (ok, and maybe one for myself). I'm also wondering if it would be possible to make one into a pin-cushion.....but I don't think I'm clever enough to figure that one out lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
I need to get on with bloglines too...it woul save me a job every day, and therefore I could spend more time doing real life things, like parenting!!!! I love the bag (I want to win!!) and I am going all gooey and quite pathetic over that spotty teapot, red and white spots has that effect on me, y'know!
ReplyDeletenice teapot!
ReplyDeleteI love these teapots! Have you figured out how to make teacups?? I'm forwarding this to my mother so she can make them as a Christmas gift for my two little girls. She's the grandma, she has more time than I do :)
