A present and happy days indeedie!!


My GD is 19 this week so I thought  I would make her a little quilted fan bag and put in some nail polish and manicure bits, as a little present..... with a cheque from Grandma of course!
And it has arrived...I have the coffee coloured 28c Linen to start this lovely design from Cath
'There are Fairies at the Bottom of my Garden'.
And because I have all the time in the world (erum!!) while I was looking for the above coffee coloured linen in that evil shop........these charts were calling me...A pretty little box, she said it was easier to make than it looked!
And I really wanted 'Dare to Dream' which was a dream catcher like this but I was outbid, so I bought this instead and I love it.
And because I was outbid on 'Dare to Dream' and I really wanted a Dream Catcher design I bid for this as well, in case I didn't get the one above and got it! So now I have two!

I saw this Celtic Lady 'Angel of  Light' and wanted it, although it took me an age to stitch 'Summer,'  this looked so pretty..and no one else wanted it so it was a bargain!
 And yes I bought a page out of a magazine, but didn't pay £4 for it,  only 90p with no charge for postage! I have the blue even weave 28c for this, so I consider it a real bargain as I don't have to buy the fabbie!LOL 
So not a mad New Year start with something new every day for 15 days,...... but a mad August of buying and wondering how on earth I am going to fit all this in, with the huge crochet blanket I am doing, 2 quilts to do, plus I have the wool to knit myself a big cardi, plus socks to knit for christmas pressies..but I only have 4 wips, so not so bad!!
. but I love all I do so I shall get going.. I think I will have to start Fairies right away!
Oh very, very Happy,  Happy Days!!!

You will have lots to do once the rainy weather sets in. Those beautiful sets will keep you in a good mood! However, let's hope summer stays a while longer.

Lorne is home from the hospital and healing up, but we're awaiting the results of the pathology very anxiously. Thanks for your caring. XX
