My order of Farmers Market from the Fat Quarter Shop arrived today! I love the bright summery colours and have loads of projects in mind for this fabric.
In fact, I put some of it to good use already in these sweet little yo yo’s I am making.
I am working on this project at the moment …. (can’t show you it all just yet!)
I whipped up another little basket this week.
Things may be a little quiet around here over the next week or so. Life is very busy at the moment – mainly with ferrying kids to rehearsals etc. I am looking forward to September when life will be getting back to normal and the arrival of Spring!
I would like to thank Erin, Sarah and Ang who have given us awards recently – thanks so much ladies – much appreciated!!

i love your little baskets, and the colours too!
Another lovely basket. The fabric is gorgeous – can’t wait to see what you make with it.
I have to second lizziejane, we too are leaving summer behind us and heading into autumn (we’ve had a very grey and pretty cold summer so we’re hoping our autumn will be mild).
Hope you get to sneak in some craft time even though you’re going to be busy. x
OH I love those fabrics!!! How beautiful. I can’t wait to see what you’re making with the yo-yos.
It sounds so funny to hear you talk about the arrival of Spring in September when we are getting ready to go into fall in September!
Love the fabric, what could you be making I wonder….hmm
Beautiful fabrics. I’m making one of those fabric baskets too at the moment and I love seeing finished ones. So pretty! 🙂
Your bag is awesome and I love the bright colours of your fabric, bring on the warm weather.
Mmmmm. The fabrics are yummi! And the yo-yos! I still haven’t tried to sew a basket, but it’s on my to-do list….and I may have to sew it soon, yours are so adorable 🙂
I love the fabric – its beautiful. Can’t wait to see what the yo-yos become. I’ve trying my hand at making some for the first time today (they’re not as nice as yours!). I’m using the Clover “flower” template and the yo-yos are turning out to be teeny tiny!
That fabric is so bright and happy on a cold misearable day…just what I need…gorgeous!
My heart just melted when I saw that fabric ….. mmmmmm I have got to get myself some of that!!!!!! I am looking forward to Spring too!
spring is in the air at your house…love those little yo yo’s, what r u going to use them for
love the colors of your new fabrics and I loooove the new basket! I think I need some of that Swell.
I’m sure there will be some beautiful projects coming from those fabrics!
Oh those bags are cute…. How many have you made now?
Those fabrics are luscious. Ommm I can see a softie out of those – oh and a summer bag…
Weather has been wet and windy – at least today we had sun.
Lovely sneak peaks and basket!! (I can’t wait for school or in my case nursery, to start either!!!!!)
The colors on the fabric basket are gorgeous!
Another darling basket! Love the little tease…green is my favorite color so my eye goes right to it. Can’t wait to see what you’re doing with the yo-yos.
Such gorgeous fabric that reminds me of spring. Can’t wait to see your yoyo project and such a lovely basket-you have been busy!
The fabrics are beautiful, bright and cheery! I can’t wait to see what your secret project is!
O.K. I’m really going to have to make one of those baskets now! I love it!!! That fabric is just lovely that you received in the mail—I cannot wait to see what your project is……
I love that Swell little basket of yours. I just love that material anyway. Oh, and I have been drooling over that Farmers Market material. Don’t you just love how they package stuff at the FQS? I know it always tickles me to get a package from them. I cannot wait to see what you are up to.
I love your basket! I just ordered a whole bunch of Swell fabric for a quilt, now I know what to do with my scraps 🙂 Can’t wait to see your secret project!!
I absolutely LOVE that basket. That is wonderful. That would be so amazing for keeping knitting in because of the way it stands up. Where is that pattern from? Those fabrics totally brightened my day today…it’s kind of gloomy outside…I think it will thunderstorm.
those fabrics SCREAM summer. i love any fabric with fruit on it!
Love the fabric – and the basket! Guess I’d better order some fabric!
Kris

That basket is FABULOUS! Did you happen to use an online tutorial? Fingers cross because then I could make one too!

I can tell that our seasons are opposite. I just ordered a bunch of Farmer’s market in greens and oranges! Too funny.
I can’t wait to see what is in the mystery picture. Looks inviting.

Love the baskets! I tried my hand at making one recently too – such fun and cuteness!
