Craft Expo

ROBYNHi Last Friday my mum and I went down to Sydney for the Craft Expo..Had a lovely day anything was we ran out of time...
I bought a few things that I had to have..I found a lovely stall called Margarets Fabrics..She does Candlewicking.That is one thing I havent really
tried but I have now..

Among the other things I bought were beads and embellishments for my crazy qQuilt a lovely Matryoshka Maidens Armchair sewing caddy needlecase and scissor charm...(Looking forward to doing that one) also a lovely little
christmas deco and table piece,candlewicking lavender bag kit and a lovely lot of lace...We did have a wonderful time together...


I h
I have also managed to get two more blocks done for "Love Notes...It is coming along very nicely...





ave also today completed two of my March Swap Blocks...Cant post those pics as I dont want to spoil it for Vanessa of Vic and Margaret of LA but as my previous post says I am having lots of problems with my last block Four and Twenty blackbirds...I will keep trying it till I am happy with it...Hope thats not too long...lol...
Well the damn weather is horrible.Raining and raining..But shouldnt complain cause the Mother Nature diasters that are happening so cloase to home is so scarey....

One flower Wednesday here again

hi ya all,,,,,,I just dont know where the time goes...Wednesday again and I did manage to get a couple of flowers made for my garden...



As I was away for a few weeks I didnt get much sewing done.I have dug out my "Gollyville" that I started some years ago...but as you can see each piece has to be pieced together and appliqued and beleive me with the hare little needle needed to stitch around every little piece my fingers are never the same...
This is only 1/3 of the way thru..it takes me a full day to copy cut arrange iron ...then the sewing part takes some time..I cant sit still long enough to do it all in one day..lol...
tata for now..
