Purchases

Yesterday afternoon I went for a drive down the coast to collect eldest boy from high school and save him the 1 hour bus trip home and also stock up on meat and a few crafty supplies. I don't usually buy jelly rolls, but fell in love with the colours in this one...'patisserie'.
I purchased quite a few books from the Quilt and Craft fair the other week, so I thought I would pick out a couple of favourite books and share some projects from inside...
'Felties'...ideal for the beginner or for an easy gift...would make cute little tags. The little mushroom girl is my favourite. (you might have to click on image for closer look)
This book called 'Pretty Little Cozies' and has got so many easy to make projects in it.... The red and white spot diary cover has a pocket inside for the diary and also a place for 2 pens and 2 pockets for smaller notepads (on my 'to do' list)
If you are keen to see some more 'inside pics' of my recent book purchases(I have quite a few more)...let me know and I can do some more collages.
Enjoy your weekend

Your purchases are fantastic - great choices!! I have been after the 'pretty little pouches' book for a while. I have 'pretty little purses' (bought for Laurraine Yuyama's pattern!) and love it. I made teacup purses for all the gum tree girls for Xmas last year! :-)

Hugs sweetie!! Vikki xo

Have just seen your post showing the pretty little cozies and fallen in love with the coffee pot shown. So much so that I have just been straight onto Amazon and bought myself a copy!!!
