Lunch & fabric fun!

There is rain on the roof & a cool wind blowing...bliss! After a day on my feet at the local patchwork shop it will be heaven to stick up those very sore feet & have a coffee...and stitch!

We had a lovely day yesterday...a friend turned 50...lunch by the harbour at Newcastle...old friends...great food...lots of laughter...a celebration of life!

Then home to finish the gorgeous bag which I had spotted on so many arms at Nundle last week! Some ladies from Inverell had all done them- very inspiring! I really love it as it is cute & roomy...quick to make...good pressies!!!!

Bought some Aviary today, and some spots & stripes to go with my son's robot fabric- still hoping for inspiration as he really loves it! Watch this space...

Inspiration...

Thanks to everyone for their warm welcome & encouraging words!!!!!

Two days of work over & done with...a few things to inspire ( definitely more interesting than dealing with the dust bunnies!!)...some new fabric that my 18yo son loves ( nice to know my little boy is still in there somewhere...) ... what it will become, who knows?????

And also...

I was very taken with the dolls dress designer challenge that Holly Holderman had on her blog a few months ago...having sooooo much fun with the dresses...almost Queen Mum-like at times to memories of hand-me-down pinafores...I am now working on some boy outfits...lots of ideas for fun boy stuff!!

Hoping for a cool change today... the sound of rain on the roof would be lovely. The trees are showing signs of impending Autumn...I love the cooler weather!
