Not sure how this picture is going to look, but I have posted this pic to Blogger whilst in Picasa. So, I'm having a play until Packed to the Rafters starts. I have found these past few weeks that my 'playing' has resulted in me finding out how things work and learning more...and how to quickly use edit for those mistakes!lol! I have learnt by doing it this way, you can click on my picture to make it larger, but when I email the picture to my blog...you can't enlarge the picture by clicking on it.I finished off the large purse from Anni Downs new book yesterday...another lovely project from her book. It was really hard to get a good picture of the purse, as the fabric looks kinda grey in pic...but is actually more green. I will make a handle for it eventually, but still tossing up whether to get a chain, or make a fabric strap, either way I have to wait until I get to town to buy what I need to do it.
It has got quite a bit of room inside...and as you can see, quite a bit bigger than the other purse from the book!
Back again to show you the Christmas ornies that we swapped on the day at Evandale.
The little snowman and angel is what I made for Jeanette. The pattern is from the 'Sew Necessary' Art to Heart book.
This is what I received from Rosanne...a cute stocking and tag...how sweet is that reindeer! Thankyou Rosanne I love it! And thankyou Sarah for organizing the swap!
Last of all...my fabric purchases....also a little pair of pink/white scissors.What a great day it was yesterday at Evandale with Marg Lowe, Libby Richardson and Blue Willow Cottage. It was lovely to catch up with fellow bloggers Sarah, Rosanne, Leanne, Cathy and Jane.
Marg Lowes projects...cute felt needle cases and basket stitcheries
Yes, two posts in one day...but after I did my last post on my covered notepad, and looked at my crappy photo...I knew I had done something wrong. Turns out that I only had camera on the wrong setting...portrait of all things!
I mentioned in a previous post, that I use my dressing gown as a pincushion, which probably isn't a good idea...so I hunted out my Leanne beasley couch companion, that I made last year (pre blog) and decided to make good use of it!
I think that you all know by now that I love my garden...this is a stitchery I designed last year with 'My Garden' in mind...sometimes its nice to have a play with a few drawings and seeing it all come together once stitched and sewn.
My protea...will it ever open!lol!
Bye for now
