Last week was a washout for anything. I had plans too as it was the girls first week of the school holidays. Went down with a severe migraine & nausea. I normally don't get the nausea with migraines but this year i started to & it's driving me to distraction. I couldn't eat & hardly drink for several days this time around. All i managed was a little handsewing on a few days. Yesterday i sat down to finish a couple of things. One i can't show you as it's for a swap but the other finish i can.
"will power" bag pattern by
Joy.
A couple of weeks back Pammi & i went to the local handmade markets. Lots to see & i only bought 2 things.
This gorgeous little bucket which resides on my cutting table to throw scraps into & the cute little owl is just for decoration.
Last week saw the arrival of the first pattern in the Christmas club i joined.
Sandy also inlcuded the lovely Cottage Garden thread to stitch the pattern with.
I have some especial good news. Yesterday saw the early arrival of my great Nephew Thomas Eli. He is one special baby. You see my brother, Ian Thomas, was killed in August 1982 8 weeks after his only child was born. His daughter named Thomas after her dad's middle name.
Happy Stitching,
Hi Jeanette love the bucket, great idea for scraps. Congratulations on the birth of your new great Nephew. Love your stiched bag too.
