A Few things

How are you all going? I am plodding along and doing a few things. I have been doing a lot of blog hopping and having a look at all your lovely blogs. I am always inspired and amazed at how talented everyone is. Such beautiful things you all make. I wish I could pop around to your place and visit you and have a look close up of all your wonderful things you all make.

   I was happy to receive a parcel from the postie this week. It came all the way from Texas! Look what was inside…..

My gorgeous tote from Bonnie (Bonnie’s picture from her blog) over at Calamity Jane’s Cottage, Bonnie is talking about publishing this as a pattern and I reckon she should as it is just fabulous. It was one of her goodies from her giveaway she had. Thanks heaps Bonnie for this fabulous tote…I love it!

Last week I got another special parcel in the mail too. Barb and I decided to have our own swap with the lovely baskets that are so easy to make, over here is the tutorial for them.

We both were excited to get our baskets and Barb thoroughly spoilt me with a fabulous Pin Cushion (Tuffet) as well from the left over fabric from the baskets. I love it and also the Bee pen which goes with my little Bee avatar. :)

Thanks for swapping with me Barb.

I pinched Barb’s pictures from her blog… the first ones are the ones she made me

I was also lucky enough to win a gorgeous pattern from Michelle Hill. I have borrowed Michelle’s picture for this one too. Talk about lazy!! heheeh but at least I know these pictures all work and look good.
