Still crafting....

After reading Hoppo Bumpo's post today on her lack of crafty posting, I thought back to my last crafty post....3 weeks ago! I promise I have been sewing, I think I just needed to do less blogging after blogtoberfest :)

After following a link found on SouleMama's Mama to Mama appeal, I have been making cloth pads to send off to girls in Africa. It has also raised a question in my mind - is there a need for cloth pads for disadvantaged girls in Australia, and if so where do I send them?

I have also gone a little crazy making Yo-Yo Christmas decorations, thanks to my Clover Yo-Yo maker. I intend on sewing a small loop of ribbon to these to hang from my tree, and also string some together to hang from something.

Tonight I whipped up this Gratitude wrap (also from Soulemama) for a friend for Christmas.
Quick and easy (especially with my trusty Quilt basting spray - can't get enough of this stuff!).
The most time consuming part was making my own bias binding, but I enjoy making the binding, so don't mind putting in the effort.
I have to get alot more sewing done over the weekend, as I'm posting a parcel off to the UK on Monday. I aim to get as many home sewn goodies in there as I can!

Thanks to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes already! And if you haven't left a comment for my Birthday Giveaway, do so now!
