Around and around and around she goes...

When I setup the new drawers in the house yesterday, I decided it was also a great time to completely rearrange the BESTA storage. I moved all of my fabric much closer to the desk and into a smaller space since I have less of it now. Hidden in on one of my shelves was a small baggie of Good Folks offcuts. I'm like a drug dealer. I stashed the Anna Maria Horner in a little baggie.

and decided I should use them up instead of having them take up cupboard space. They were mostly pinks and yellows since I handed the coveted blues over to people seeking them.

I decided to pull out my Sizzix and my fan blade die and whip up some small circles. I do own the outer arc to go with the fan blades but decided that I'd rather make circles and applique them onto a background for a more freeform look.

I'm always excited when I see things come together so quickly. 40 minutes. That's what it took to get this far. I haven't ironed any of it yet, but it's obvious that they'll sit nice and flat which is just perfect. These four seem just about the right size for a cushion cover on charcoal linen. Now to find some charcoal linen...

If you are in Australia, I recommend Annie's for Sizzix dies and machines. They are a superfriendly mother-daughter team. Also, you save a fortune in postage buying in Australia as dies and machines are heavy. Not a sponsored post, BTW. Just shouting out about a local company that I like.
