Tutorial can be found here.
Yummy fruit hey! The apples are from a Tilda craft book called Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle.
Hand sewn beads are lovely and wonderful to do while watching TV but knocking the bead container over and spilling thousands of seed beads all over the carpet is not wonderful! I spent ages picking up all those beads instead of just vacuuming them. After all they were only a couple of bucks to buy. I learnt a piece of paper is great for sweeping beads onto and then using as a funnel to pour them back into their container.
I got a little carried away making lots of red apples! This fruit basket was a freebie from some wine selling merchant that knocked on my door. He did talk me into buying some wine and threw in a free bottle of strawberry wine for me to try. It was so delicious I ordered two cases more of the stuff. Chilled it is the most awesome refreshing summer wine and best of all it has a very low alcohol content so visitors can have a glass and still drive home.
Another project to take me away from my OWOH project are these pouches. I have made the same size as the tutorial and they are palm size pouches which make good gift bags for little gifts like brooches, hair accessories, jewelery etc. Tutorial was found on a wonderful blog called Maccabags and is quite a well made tutorial with good pictures.
I better get back to my OWOH project. I am at that stage of changing my mind on some fabrics I have chosen to compliment the main fabric. This is the time consuming part for me. Choosing is so hard! lol
Thanks for reading!

LOVE the strawberries!
I've always wondered what it would be like to be crafty - you know making all kinds of stuff instead of just bags. I've made a couple of pin cushions before but I did not quite get satisfaction out of it. I love your fruit basket and "fruits". This fruit-based and food-based plushie thing seems very trendy. I see them everywhere, even Ikea!
Wow you have been busy! I love all of it (especially those little strawberries) and that fruit basket is lovely. Your pouches look brilliant!! x
The plush fabric and beads is perfect! I love it when a piece of fabric speaks to me like that. Now the strawberries may look large next to the apples, but imagine real strawberries like that - we'd be overjoyed!!
I've just got to make strawberries! They're lovely.
I love these strawberries. are they sweet?
Lots of love,

Oh, I've been wanting to make Tilda apples for awhile now - they look great! And that wine sounds divine!
I just love your strawberries. Thank you for directing us to the little pouches. They are so cute and you are right they would be perfect for a little gift. I also love your blog.
