- Sewing: the butterfly pouch is done, now I just need to get a few more goodies, and it's ready to post off to Australia
- Reading: I am really enjoying A Year of Marvellous Ways, it's a little magical, a little sad, just an enjoyable read.
- Eating - homemade caramel ice cream. Absolutely delicious and such a shame I have to share it with my family.
- Gardening: probably more maintenance than gardening. My Star Jasmine had grown somewhat out of control with all the warm humid weather. Two hours later, three full wheel barrows of trimmings, and a couple of blisters on my hands, I have a lovely tidy jasmine garden again.
- A proud big sister moment: unfortunately this AMH Irish Chain Quilt isn't my work. My sister, Janine gets to take all the credit for this beauty. Mine is still in the planning, lets accumulate more AMH fabric stage, but this is inspiring me to get my other must do projects completed so I can start on mine. Janine used the tutorial from here, but made it a couple of rows bigger. (She really needs a blog of her own to show off her beautiful work)
Wishing you all a fabulous week ahead.
Great butterfly pouch! I really love this pattern. Irish Chain quilt in on my list too. Your sister has done beautiful work :)
ReplyDeleteYour sister has made a wonderful quilt... I love the lighter background! Is it all one fabric? Ah, and as for gardening, some tidying up needed around here too at present, but I'm avoiding it!

ReplyDeleteYour butterfly pouch is lovely as well as your sister's quilt. Wow! Such talent! I would love to have star jasmine in my garden... I might not even be bothered to let it take over a bit!
