Thank you for all of your good wishes on the changes about to happen for me in 2012. Like anything that is a little different it is very scary and I keep second guessing myself but I have to keep reminding myself that it is for the best long term. Slowly as the weeks pass I will reveal a bit more as each page of our new book opens. I would tell you now but I just don't want to jinx myself. I am taking baby steps before I take the giant leap.
I am going to have to think outside the square in all aspects of my life including in my designs which will need to adapt a little. I am currently paper piecing a new project in colours that are not my usual choices but my style is still very evident. It is a slow process and I just do a little each evening. Hopefully I will have more to show you really soon.
So what have you got planned for the weekend? My plans include sorting some fabric and making some more of these wax tarts. I burn these in my oil burner to make the house smell delicious and homely but I also store them in little organza bags and hide them amongst my fabric. All of my stash has a lovely aroma which is even more gorgeous when it comes time to press it. A cheap and easy way for a nice fragrance.
I will share with you my candle and wax tart making process by taking a few photographs. I am working through my christmas list and a number of my friends and family will be receiving smellies this year. I can't believe that we are into the second week of September already so it is time that I make a dent in that list.
I have been having some fun fussy cutting some hexagons for an upcoming project. Are you really into paper piecing too at the moment?
If you are a newsletter subscriber you will be receiving this weeks newsletter very soon which will include this week's bargain buys including packs of 100 X 1" hexagon papers (Card) for just $4.50 and of course that Berry & Apple Slice Recipe. If you aren't already a subscriber you can join up in the top right hand corner of my blog. It's free.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Baby steps are good, sweetie - as long as you keep moving, right? Your project looks so pretty! I'm not a fan of paper piecing, but I love to see how others put things together. Your wax tarts look so fun, what a good idea to store them amongst your fabric! Love your hexagon!
Lots of lovely things in this post. I buy these wax tarts and had no idea you could make them yourself. What a great idea to store them in among your fabric.
