Arrivals

Pattern, kit & goodies from Michelle. Recently Peg mentioned on her blog about getting some scissor fobs. They looked so lovely i decided i needed some too. :)

 They arrived in this gorgeous little pink spotted box from Tatyana

I ordered an owl for my daughter & a bunny for me or maybe a gift.

Melissa's new pattern - gorgeous pincushion.

Sewing set by Dawn.
 I have been busy sewing but can't show you a thing. It's all for swap. :)

Going Bananas

 Recently my local fruit shop had boxes of bananas at a very good price.  I decide to invest in a box. I should have taken a photo before any were eaten &  cooked with as there were lots more than this.

As well as eating them i've been enjoying banana smoothies & cooking lots of yummy things.

muffins, 

banana bread with choc chips,

sour cream banana cake with white chocolate icing

 What's left will be frozen for another time. :)

Happy stitching,

Decorations & a parcel

After stalking the postie for a few days my parcel finally arrived from Michelle. I was going to say her latest pattern but Michelle posted today another gorgeous pattern. Pop on over & have a look at it here. Michelle's parcels always come wrapped beautifully & are a joy to receive.

& included some lovely extra goodies for me felt, pen for writing/tracing on fabric & of course delicious choccies. Yum.
