Pay It Forward...interested??????

Any one else interested????
I've got one person signed up...
?????????


Ok I have joined Pay It Forward on Peg's blog (thanx Peg for having me!)
Now it's my turn...

so now I need three people to play….

the rules are…..

1) I will make some goodies for the first three people who would like to join in…… It will be a surprise and will arrive when you least expect it.

2) I will have 365 days to do it in …………

Where is the catch? to get a handmade present from me you have to play too! This means you pledge to send something to three readers of your blog. It does not have to be stitching or knitting just handmade,
3) You must have a blog. Once you receive your little something you must post about your Pay it forward on your blog to keep the fun going - be sure to use the Pay it forward badge.

So If you would like to play “Pay It Forward”….please leave a comment….

that's it...so would you like to receive something handmade from me in the next 365 days?

(rules are copied off Pegs blog!)

Julz

who stole the weekend?

it's gone again!
Nothing on the sewing front to show as I worked on Saturday...
so that day was gone.....

Sunday was asbolutely beautiful...sunny, warm (yes warm)....
(even managed to take my jumper off)

I spent quite a bit of the day in the garden,
pruned all of my roses,
chopped back a few other bushes that needed it,
took Diva for a driving lesson,
picked YD up from a sleepover,
cooked breakfast for ED who had to work....

there are plenty of these out in the garden for colour...

and a few of these are starting to pop up around the place....

I think Spring is trying to come....

lovely!!!!!

Julz

my weekend...

Yeah right.....

update

finally finished this UFO that's been hanging around for a long time...

simple line quilting has come up a treat on it...
will be on the website when I manage to get time to list it...along with a couple of other things...
speaking of which I now have some Sewline Glue Pens in stock (not listed, but if you're interested, email me)

won this lovely fabric on ebay the other day...just enough to make 5 of these, now all I need is some white homespun, and it will be a small table centre.

and this crazy patchwork is going to become my cheque books cover, to keep in my handbag..
still working out the finer details of how to get it together...I know what I what to do...but we'll see?????

Julz

I think I'm addicted....

to Hexagons!

I purchased the first 3 copies of Vignette and looked and looked and thought yes, no, yes, no and finally thought why not????
So I started getting my fabrics together...I'm going to use only from the stash...even if I have to use EVERY single fabric in it....that's it!

I've done 6 of the embroidered flower fillers and last night I traced out another 10 and managed to finish 3 with the 4th one almost completed!

and this lovely quick and easy table runner was finally finished last weekend, just didn't have time for a photo session....

The curly girls are on 2 weeks holidays here in Victoria...poor ED has to go to Tafe all of this week...they are having a full week to make sure they get all of their course requirements done for the year...
me I'm off to work....only this afternoon and Friday afternoon off to spend with them, and of course the weekend....oh well, that Tattslotto man still can't find my place to tell me I've won!

have a great time doing whatever you are doing....
