Red Home Tote Bag

I traced the stitchery last night for the 

Tote Bag from Red Home by Natalie Bird.....

Just a little bit done but it felt nice to be stitching....

It is our February project for Stitch-a-long.....

I guess a little bit of something is better than nothing at all....

Back to work tomorrow so February will 

be full on, at least I have made a start....

Better go as I am meeting up with someone special today 

who is passing through Orange...

More on that later.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Puzzled

I am a bit puzzled as to where my Mojo has been hiding....

I have just spent the last 5 weeks on holidays and have only 

sewn the thread catcher for the January Stitch-a-long.....

I did manage to do this cute jig saw puzzle that was a bit of fun....

I hope to get back to my old self soon :)

Until next time, Happy Stitching

"Another Birthday and Surprises in the Mail"

It was my Birthday on the 24th and I must admit

 I really didn't feel too much like celebrating,,,,

You see my new little Home is still in the process of settlement 

due to the subdivision of the block and

 quite frankly I am feeling over it!!!!

So imagine my surprise when 5 nice little 

envelopes turned up in my mail box this week....

They were some very unexpected Birthday Gifts

 from some really sweet ladies that I have

 the pleasure of calling my friends......

All containing gorgeous French General fabrics

 and a lovely matching plain for some stitchery....

I am not sure if it was planned between my

 birthday Angels or if they all just think alike.....

Thankyou so much Fiona, Sylvia, Trish, Susan and Anita....

You really put a big smile into my day....

I am not sure what I will be making with these yet but am

 hoping they inspire me to get some stitching done soon....

Random acts of kindness truly are special and all I have to say is

"When you least expect it, Expect it Girls" xxxxx

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Christmas Gift from Michelle

Woops! I have been a bit slow in showing you what

 I got in a swap from Michelle for Christmas.....

I love love love it Michelle!!!!1

Thanks for making it for me xxxxx

The stitchery details are so cute.....

I love the snowmen and stars....

I can't wait until next Christmas so I can 

keep it out for a whole month.....

Michelle also included one of her very own patterns 

from "Rag-tag Stitchin" I am feeling very spoilt.....

Until next time, Happy Stitching

First Finish 2013 Stitch-a-long....

My first finish for the 2013 Stitch-a-long is a

 thread catcher basket for the book "Red Home"

Was very quick to make once I got myself motivated.....

I used some fabric that I won as a lucky 

door prize at a retreat in Nowra in 2011.....

So that's half of January finished.....

Now to start on the shoe bag from "SKOW"

Until next time, Happy Stitching
