When I start making something I like I find it very difficult to stop.
So when this yummy new fabric arrived today
what do you think I did with it?
Yup, guessed right - more wallets!
I've even started a series of Paddington Bear wallets!
And there's another Easter one, a Russian doll one, a..........................So now I have another 6 mad wallets to go into Etsy and even more planned so I really hope someone out there wants to buy them because I don't have enough money to fill one let alone dozens!
I was very lucky last night because a completely insane woman rang me up demanding to know why the Easter wallet I had blogged about hadn't yet appeared in my Etsy shop. She proceeded to bully me down the phone and forced me to load it up forthwith! She then, very sweetly, bought it and the pink roses wallet too!
And today, because I had taken in some parcels for her, I got chatting to one of my neighbours from across the road and not only did she ask me to make a doll for a baby due at the end of March but she also came back with a pile of lovely fabrics for me - all freshly ironed too!
Looking forward to playing with these too!But I'm pleased to say I had a very "grown-up" moment today when I was asked if I wanted a stall at tomorrow's Mother's Day Coffee Morning at school. I thought about it, was seriously tempted, and then said NO THANK YOU! So finally I've learnt how to say No!

Your bullying completely insane imaginary friend xxxxx

Lovely fabric/neighbour you have there. I can see the teddy one making a great wallet. Do you know how to make them??
Go Lucy! Wow, I'm always amazed at how much sewing you seem to get done!
Like the camper van material.

Lovely lovely fishies!
And now you know how to say no, can you please teach me because I am USELESS at it.
Your wallets are great Lucy and bravo for saying no!
hurrah for saying no Lucy !!! It can be so hard!!!
Loving the first two fabrics especially. I have the goldfish but I love it too much to ever use it !
You said NO!! Bravo!!!! Love the wallets and completely understand about the obsessiveness.
It is a good thing I can't find my new needle felting supplies(kids put them away somewhere) because I *really do* need to clean my bedroom in advance of next week's painting. I know if I had them out I'd be felting away.

Lovely wallets Lucy and a wonderful stash of material. Good for you saying no thanks! looking forward to the 14th Happy St Davids Day. Jane x
Awww, that Paddington Bear one is just adorable!
Isn't it lovely when people give you fabric. A woman approached me at the school gates and asked me whether I'd be interested in some deep blue velvet she'd found ... :-O Is the Pope a Catholic? Now ... what to do wtih it? :-D
