No more birthdays for now … but I got a bit of stitching done :o)

My SIL took a liking to my rewards card wallet the other night when we all went out for dinner … so I got her to choose some pretty fabric from my stash so that I could make her one … and here it is …………….January 10 251 This is the “new and improved” inside … I’ve done another little flap at the top to stop the cards falling out when it’s in your bag ……..January 10 254 I also made this table topper with some GAWJUS fabric squares I found tucked into a Christmas card from a dear lady at my quilting group ….. thanks Gerry :o) (no blog)!!!!January 10 268 The little 2 1/2” squares were from the beautiful “Garden Party” range by Blackbird (Moda) … so pretty!!!

I got a bit of gardening done over the weekend …. does it count as gardening if they’re hanging plants???? Well, it does to me, it’s as close to any sort of gardening that I’m likely to get he he he. We’ve just had a new fence put up … it’s colourbond and I must admit I really do prefer our old wooden one, even if it was falling down a bit in places. January 10 237 Anyway, it’s very plain and boring, and it needed prettying up, soooooooo ……January 10 242 I went to the local nursery and to Bunnings … do you have Bunnings overseas??? It’s a HUMONGOUS hardware, they sell EVERYTHING there. I love it lol.

Love the Impatiens ….January 10 238I got some pretty begonias and geraniums too…… January 10 243 It’s much prettier when I look out of my sewing room window now :o)!!!!!
