A bit of this and a bit of that :o)

This is something my DH brought home from work the other day … he tore it off his desk calendar cos he thought I’d think it was funny ………. LOL ………… he’s absolutely right, I did ;o)!!!!

I got these in the mail a couple of days ago from the Book Depository (oh I love that site!!!!!!) … I’m in the middle of the latest Elm Creek Quilts book “A Quilter’s Holiday” at the moment so I can’t start reading either one yet, but they look like they’ll be good. I love a good quilty novel :o). Also had a bit of fun in the local op’ shops, my friend Valerie was looking for a pretty cup and saucer for a craft project and while she was browsing I found these ……………I couldn’t resist them, so I bought the pair for just $8!!!! There was LOTS of lovely china, think I’ll be going back for another look very soon ;o).

I’ve tried my hand at something completely different this week and I really enjoyed having a play with something totally unrelated to stitching. Not that I don’t still love my stitching, he he, I ALWAYS love my stitching ~ but it was nice to have a little change ;o). I couldn’t resist the gorgeous little rosebud beads …..and the pretty rosy charms :o).

I have been doing some stitching too, I’ll be able to show you what I’ve been working on very soon …. hope you like it! Here’s a little hint … keep an eye on the Among the Gumtrees blog ;o)!!!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend, looks like it’s going to be another (very) warm one here!! I’m off to the shops to get a new bike helmet and jacket tomorrow so that I can go riding with my DH :o) …. how exciting!!!!

Ta Daaaaaa :o)!!

Hooray!! Dragonflight (second version) is completed and has been delivered to my local patchwork store Bayside Stitchcraft to hang there throughout July for the Shop Hop!So chuffed with it!!

I think I'll have to change the colour scheme in my bedroom to match it LOL....Here's the back ...Yay ... another finish for July!!! The original Dragonflight is hanging at Country Quilt Co at Ipswich for any Brissy girls that are shop hopping ;o).

Didn't get any stitching done today .... but I did get to the library to pick up a book I had on hold ...I just love this series of novels ... I've enjoyed every one of them :o).

Enjoy your weekend!!!!

The sand between my toes!

What a beautiful weekend we had ... fabulous Spring-like weather ... just right for getting out in the sunshine!!! The fish weren't biting though, despite DH's best efforts - not even a nibble. I love everything about the beach ... the sound, the smell and especially the feeling of the warm sand between my toes [[[sigh]]]. Roll on Summer!!

I didn't get any stitching done but I did get to read a good chunk of my new Elm Creek Quilts book - honestly, once I start on one of those it's hard to put it down!!
