Bath anyone?

Not much activity here with sewing lately..been planning what to do for a couple of secret santa swap's hmmm will post some sneaky peeks in a few weeks.......

Now the bath is finished with I'll take a bow and go and answer the phone (listen you can hear him ringing the phone)

Did you see someone with thier mobile phone taking videos too ,there was like 4 people I think with thier phones but for some strange reason I had my camera in my bag ---yipee.

Bag Swap

yeah the bag I made for my partner in Lindas Bag/Bucket Swap has arrived safe and sound...

all the way from Humpty Doo, Northern Territory too Sweden

and from the email I received from Marcia she likes it

So I thought it only fitting I share a full pic now....

The crossstich was a bargain @$1 in an op shop -it was in a horrid plastic frame but I just removed it and washed it and kept it away for the right project and I'm pleased with how it all came together,the colours of the butterfly lead me to fabric colours for the bag..
