The bag and goodies I sent to Jen

Hello everyone,

I should have posted these pics last week.  Jen has received my parcel in the Accessory Bag Swap so now I can show you the goods!!

I made the Sewing Bag from a pattern by Joy Coey.  The pattern is called HONEY BUN FUN.  You can find the pattern at Joy's website HERE.   The pin cushion and needle-case are just simple ones I made up myself and the covered notebook is from a Tutorial you can find HERE.  I included a few Aussie items too.... little notebook, fridge magnet and bookmark.

..... so, what else have I been up to??

not much.   MH is away for a few weeks so I'm doing a little spring cleaning around the house.  My son is now studying at Southbank Institute of Technology so no more school runs for me:-))   I am working on another baby quilt for my Niece Lauren (beautiful baby girl born Feb 11th - Maisy) - this one is called Lullaby in the Night Sky .   I'm doing the blanket stitching on it right now and should have that finished in the next couple of days.  I'll post a pic soon.

The weather here has been horrible lately.  Very warm and humid.  NOT great sewing weather!  I have some machine quilting to do but just can't face it in this weather:-(

My sister is arriving today for a short stay which will be nice.  We usually hit the Thrift Shops straight away!  My sis always finds something good!  We will also have a visit with Mum.

This is a photo taken of the two of us  (I'm the one on the left!) at a family friends wedding - I'm thinking I'm about 8 and my sister would be 5 (might be a year out there!!)   Mum made the beautiful outfits (even the hats!)

So I'll be back with more sewing news later,

Happy Sewing!!

Helen
