I'm going to

Sew It Together. I know it probably seems odd that I haven't mentioned it yet. Well, if you know me, you would know that I get overwhelmed with crowds. I tend to stick to my friends that I know. I think I've been stressing about going. I'm terrible at making small talk, but at least with crafty people, there is plenty to talk about.

I was in the name tag swap. I made this one for Claire.
SIT name tag


I have to say the colour palette for the name tags was a challenge for me. I am not a big fan of orange, yellow and brown and least of all together. Claire makes the cutest sock owl kits which inspired my choice of an owl for the name tag I am actually thinking of taking my pattern with me to SIT as it seems like a nice little project to work on in that environment. And well, if I get stuck, I can ask the designer herself for help!

I received this beautiful name tag from Nic of Small, Dark and Handsome. The stitching is perfect, and I love the design. Even though they aren't "MY" colours, I think the name tag is very me. Thank you Nic!

I have to admit that I haven't been blogging much over the past week. I have quite a few creations to share and a bit of news. Now I must go make dinner.

Gorgeous name tags Sara, you did a fabulous job with the colour combination. Have fun at Sew It Together and then it won't be long until the retreat!

oh wow, I am jealous! both of those name tags look fantastic, and those wouldn't be my choice of colours either, but the more nametags I am seeing around the place the more it's growing on me.
I went last year to SIT, but can't go this year, which I am pretty disappointed about. I also get abit overwhelmed with crowds- not cause of small talk, more because I get distracted and will be talking to someone and enjoying the conversation but also be hearing snippets of other conversations that I want to be a part of- I have only recently worked this out recently (that that is what I do)- I must seem very rude- my 'real life' friends make allowances I reckon! Anyway Sara, I had some really fantastic, very real and honest and grown up conversations and it was very good for my soul. I hope you have a good day x Oh, I just remembered that nervous walking into a big room filled with people you don't know (who all seemed to know each other) feeling- I found out that they didn't all know each other, they were just really friendly. And you'll meet Kazz (and so I sew blog)who won your charity auction- and she's wonderful!
