April FNWF

I had an early start yesterday when a friend came over and we sandwiched her quilt then we did mine
So much easier with help

Then last night I finished my stitchery from Vickie Colliers Lgs pattern

I best be away Am working at the Op Shop this afternoon

More From LGS

I have always wanted to make a block keeper, but never got around to it

I have just finished this beauty from a pattern by the LGS Nutters

Very happy with it

The beautiful fabric I used was from an Op Shop find

I won this handy folder on Games night

My beautiful mug bag made by Vicky

And my gifts from my Roomies

Just realised I forgot to take a photo of the gifts I made them

This is the front view of the Mug Bag I made for the Swap

Back view

All in all a wonderful weekend and I came home with lots of goodies

March FNSI Zipper Crazy

Since my friend showed me how to put a zipper in I have gone a bit crazy

Last Night when I joined Wendy and friends for our monthly sew in I whipped up two bags

The first one is passable but my second is much better

Last weekend I had a wonderful time in Melbourne for the annual LGS weekend

I have not been able to make it for the last three years so it was wonderful to be part of it this year

We dressed up for

the Games night which had an Alice in Wonderland theme

Visited Lucello's and had loads of fun

More photos to share but will leave them for another post

ANother Month Done and Dusted

Friday night saw some of us join Cheryll for another night of stitching

I have started making a dinosaur quilt

Sat down with my Baileys and did some hand stitching

The lovely Fee over at Craft With Fee has been giving us a new project every Monday in a year of gifts

I made this card and box which holds a block of chocolate

Wish someone would gift me something like this lol

I am very happy the way it turned out

If I was smarter on the computer I would have turned the photo but I think you get the idea

Some little finishes

A card for my Mums 91st birthday which was yesterday

A friend gave me a lesson in zips

Have had a phobia about zips for years and always avoided anything with a zip

The top one is  not as wonky as it looks in the photo

Iam happy now Hopefully mastered my fear of zips

I made a card box from a pattern from Craft with Fee Great tutorial and easy to follow Now to get to making the card to go in it which will hold a block of chocolate

Started a new quilt

Did this for the Friday night sew a long with Wendy and friends but my internet has been unreliable and couldn't post

This little bloke took his first steps last weekend

Growing so darn fast

I have HOPEFULLY fixed my comment notification so please leave me a comment so I can see if it is working again
Why it keeps going away baffles me
Thanks guys

Febuary FNWF

A month gone already
Time again to join Cheryll and friends for a fun night in

Never to early to start on Christmas gifts

The weather has been a bit cooler the last few days and much more to my liking

Comment Notifacation

Looks like my comment notification has gone AGAIN
GRRRRRR

January FNSI

Sewing with friends is always fun
Thanks to the lovely Wendy for hosting
I achieved quite a bit but cannot show as SHHH it's a secret

So I will show you my rose instead

I was gifted this rose on the passing of my daughter

I can honestly say it never stops blooming

My neighbour has been doing Diamond painting. which I have been admiring, however I do not want to start another hobby (no room in my craft room for anything else)

Yesterday I found this owl going really cheap at a Garage sale

I just had to have him

He is all glittery and sparkly

I love my bling

Craft With Fee

The lovely Fee is sharing a year of gifts

Yesterday I made these gorgeous lavender sachets

And a couple of matching notebooks which will make a gift with a little more

Such fun to make and my craft room smells divine

Thanks again Fee for sharing and I look forward to your next inspirational make

You are very generous

Jan 2010 FNWF

Wow What a scorcher of a day Got to over 40
Not a lover of the heat at the best of times
I Joined the girls in some stitching for our first FNWF for 2019
I spent the day under the air conditioner stitching

I am trying to use up some scraps

I did end up completing this stitchery

Nice to join in with Cheryll and friends once again

I looked after this little fellow for a couple of days over the New Year period

Such a delight and growing up way to fast

He is trying to put my thong on his foot They learn so quickly

He will be celebrating his first birthday on Jan 29th

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my Blogging friends
Thankyou for the friendship these past years

Playful Penguins

I finished my penguin quilt

I had such fun designing this one and it seemed to just come together

My daughter chose fleecy for the backing I had never used it as a backing before, but it worked well

I think she will be very happy with it, when she receives it at Christmas

She had no idea what I was doing with the fabric

I was a little short so made a big label to cover the shortfall

Iam very happy with the way it turned out

I think I have once again fixed my comment notification so look forward to hearing from you so I can reply

November FNSI No 2

I was not well last night so not much sewing happened

I was baby sitting this little fellow who wasn't well and being a very sharing soul he kindly shared his bug with both Poppy and myself

So when I could keep myself out of the bathroom I did manage to make another penguin block

Vegemite

Meeting Pop's pet calf

Despite being unwell he was still a joy to have around He is such a happy boy

Thanks Wendy for once again hosting

NOVEMBER FNSI

When I joined Wendy and friends for another Friday night sewing I worked on some more coat hangers.
Then I made a block for the penguin quilt Iam working on for my daughter for Christmas.
I am making it up as I go along
Havent had a chance to visit to see what the rest of you got up to
Hopefully soon

Friday night sewing

Friday night is when I joined with Cheryll and friends I worked on coat hanger number six
Loving the variegated thread
I am spending a few days with my daughter and today she is taking me to Spotlight, something I don't get to do very often

Some Little Finishes

my waratah is beautiful this year  

Cheryll made me the red hanger for my birthday. I really liked it, so with Cherylls permission I copied it. 

 A Kris kringle gift

 A snowflake for the present box

And some coat hangers, also for Christmas gifts
I am still learning how to use this tablet, hence my posts are short

October FNSI

Well here we are again. Another FNSI with the lovely Wendy and friends has come and gone.
Love these nights. Not only do I get to sew along with friends, but it is motivates me to Blog.

My niece was complaining about her clothes falling off her hangers, and so in a light bulb moment I solved her Christmas gift.

Embroidery done. Now to put it together. 

I  also whipped up a hand towel for a quick gift.

Drizzly rain today so a sewing day for me. 

Will be around for a visit to my fellow stitchers real soon

Where did September go

Time is flying by. It was time again last night for another FNWF.
I had visitors for a short time so didn't achieve as much as I hoped.

I made this little fellow for a friends baby's first birthday.

I think he is pretty cute. 

Not much of any great excitement happening around here. 

The weather is being kinder so will be able to get out in the garden. It is in dire need of some weeding
