A little something

I thought I would make some cute little draw string bags again. So here they are.... I think they are gorgeous and perfect for putting some deliciously yummy home made fudge in. Just a little something for friends for Christmas.


Gorgeous Thai silk bag

I love the black silver one with a gorgeous purple lining

I just wanted to show that this is a cute little one, the flash isn't very friendly to my skills :)

This is something I am working on for a friend, and I am loving it, it just flows and I just seem to know what to sew in each spot. Very confidence building sewing :)

In this shot it looks like a face, but it isn't and doesn't when you see it :)

Kids had their first sleep overs last night, they were all sooooo tired tonight that it was no big deal to get them into bed. When my son came home, he said I missed you mum and gave me a hug :) melting moments.
Getting very excited for Christmas, just gave the garage a huge cleanout and it looks great. I cleaned out my quilting cupboard and am really happy with how that looks too. Just heard the rain falling, smells great and gives a beautiful breeze, then I remembered I have left my washing on the line :) Oh well it will dry tomorrow.

A couple of Things

Well, all my Christmas present shopping done. Just waiting on delivery for a few of them and hoping they will turn up on time. How about you? Need that 24 hour shopping time? :) I am getting excited about the food side of Christmas :) G and myself are still on our healthy living diet/plan and it is getting easier every day. I am still craving chocolate so bad!!!! But I have definitely lost weight and I don't feel 5 months pregnant anymore:) Or that I have three chins, just two :). So bring on the Christmas food, just for one day hey.

I have finished the Sun quilt. Not entirely happy with the outcome, I think I needed to make the arcs come off as swirls instead of just jutting out and the yellow in between should have been covering more of the white. But oh well, I can't get it right each time I suppose, even though it would be nice :).

 Then there is my slogan, this is feather work and I am enjoying this when I get the time to sit and sew over school holidays, which isn't much at all.

 The blue pen is where I was going to sew, a washable pen, but then changed my mind

It should look really gorgeous, here's hoping.
I forgot to tell you that oldest daughter won the music award for her year level at her graduation. She was music student over 100 students :) We were so excited when she got up that we all wooped and screamed. My mum in law jumped up and clapped. :) very proud. She said she was praying and chanting under her breathe before the award was given out, please be me please be me :) It was a great night.

Just got back from a Christmas carols night, the audience sang and there were choral items too, it was so nice. Very special and I really enjoyed it and it just made the Christmas feeling even stronger.
