Happy new year !!

Happy new year everybody, may it be full of lovely crafty projects and ideas.

I should really be working so this post will be quick. But just to show you my first page using my sewing machine, this is soo cool. I will easily get addicted and my mum and my sister will be amazed that I still remembered how to switch it on ! ( Although, if I admit, I had trouble threading the thread with the machine so I ended up doing it by hand. !! ) Still very proud and if this page won't win me any prize for best sewing, it is still one of my favourite. This picture was taking last week in La Clusaz. Did I tell you we went skiing ? Did I tell you Rachel that there was lots of snow !! ( private joke !! ) ( or actually not so much of a joke ! ). Anyway, here is my page for Sketchy Thursdays and Bird Is The World Challenge  ! ( two into one, yeh good start of the year ! )


Not too sure what that black thing in the bottom left corner is, I have tried to clean the camera but it didn't help. And just to show that I can use different stitches on my machine, a little close up or two !!




I hope you like it as much as I do !!
