a bit more done...

busy week finished..
got these things all done,
pieced, put together, quilted and binding done!
x2

when I was looking for bindings for the runners above,
I was going thru some fabric I had recently bought on ebay...
this was a little surprise I found in one piece I was going to use!

Ick....

and no the cockroach stain did not come out...will have to cut this piece up and it was a perfect size for binding....oh well...no harm done, just a fright when I opened up the fabric!

some more needlecases for the upcoming markets...
blue ones...

and some tan ones....

and of course some more owls....

now I'm off to finish some more things....got to get that UFO basket under control!

Why????

just had a buy a new printer cos the old one...DIED!
(that I love, cos it does everything that I need it to...and it's easy to use too!)

so I went looking, just quickly cos I need it in a hurry...
this one is so basic its really basic...
print, scan, copy.
can't load my memory card or stick into it, can't connect camera cables to it, nothing...

now onto my biggest whinge...
why the hell are the ink cartridges sooooooo small...
and they cost almost as much as the whole damn printer to replace!!!!!

my old printer had individual ink cartridges so you could replace them as needed..
not the new one...oh no...one black and one multi colour..
and I swear they are 1/2 the size of the ones out of the other printer...
which means they will last 1/2 as long....

I'm going to do some research and see if I can find a printer of today, that takes the same ink cartridges as my old one and has the same features....

this one will have to do for the time being......
did I mention how basic it is?

some more sewing....

OMGosh didn't realise it was 2 weeks since my last post...
bit slack!
but I haven't been slack....

these 2 runners used just 1/2 a turnover pack of Nostalgia and a UFO stitchery,
still got another 1/2 pack to play with.
went together so easily....

yes more needlecases!
I've got 3 markets coming up with just 2 weeks between each of them,
so need to be a bit organised...
these are made from my scrap boxes, with a bit of wool felt in the middle, a vintage button,
too easy....

and these ones...made up into a set...
needlecase, scissor keep and pincushion...
(you can find one of these on here)

got a binding to sew onto another almost finished runner to go into the Christmas Market box...
boy I'm sounding very organised....Christmas and it's only February!!!!

hope everyone is having a great weekend...
and all those in QLD and other flood affected areas are getting the help they need....
cheers
