7 things in 7 days...

I had a few days off work last week and tried to use the time whilst my children were at school to my best advantage and get lots of sewing done! I don’t usually take time off out of school holidays but I have a long stretch of work commitments coming up so it was a good time for a short “me time” break. I had strained my neck/back the week before though and was worried I wasn’t going to be able to achieve much so the first thing I made was a rice pack that I could heat in the microwave and sit it on my shoulder (conveniently tucked under my bra strap!) as needed. For the cover, I used some of the lovely AMH Good Folks flannel that I bought from Kate at One Flew Over recently:

I also managed to finish my swap items for The Love Of Solids Swap on flickr - I think I ended up making just about everything on her list though so these are just some sneak peeks of what I made because I don't want to give too much away. Only some of these items will be sent to my secret partner and the other things donated to a local charity raffle………

So I basically got one thing finished every day for a week so I am very pleased with my efforts, especially given the dodgy start to the week:)
