I have sewn!

Yep yipee to me I actually have sewn not much but have finished 2 items for July…
I was in a Christmas in July swap and made my partner a cushion for her chair as a little birdie had whispered to me she needed one.
I tossed fabrics around and then just made up the pattern as I went along…
And best of all she loves it.
Then I picked up my beautiful stitchery that Lyn had sent me to do whilst I was recovering from my foot op..truly bad bad girl I am I actually misplaced the threads that Lyn sent me and to this day can’t locate them.  However I began this stitchery whilst I was sat with my foot up ..and then I went back to work and changed jobs and the stitchery just sat..well I was shocked when I picked it up I only had 4 letters of stitching to do to finish it..Thanks again Lyn this was lovely to stitch..
I finished it off sewing tiny gold beads randomly in the tree.

Not a very good picture as I have the fan going flat out and it is on dark,anyways I love the finished product and don’t you just love that hanger eh?
<-- Picture from Ilene's blog .
The hanger was a giveaway of several that I got from Illene , they were called bag handles but when I received them in the post –hubby said ah hangers for cloth eh? I looked at him like are you daft man, but arhhh he was correct I think they will all end up hangers except the actual bag handle frame/clasp with chain as I have fabric eyeballed for a bag to evolve including that handle.
Thank you again Illene for your generosity.

You know your good when

You know your a good person when a friend goes to USA and goes shopping (like anyone who goes away does)  and especially when that friend is a mate of your hubby and is 65….

I am so so lucky at what he bought back for me, the books I had requested and I had mentioned that I have a pounce pak here somewhere but can’t locate it..

He reckons I was like a little kid at christmas time pulling all the fq’s out of the bag..but wait there’s more

 

More fq’s and a lovely brown toning fat eighth roll..and yet there is more

This is the most gorgeous fabric and there is about 2½ metres of it---yep he knows I love chook stuffs…andddddddddd

Ahh there’s my books and some stencils and a brand spankin new pounce pad with refill-the one I have here in a safe place somewhere is 2nd hand –so now if I don’t locate it I won’t stress too much…

Oh yes I am a good person, and having this sitting on my sewing table all week has actually rekindled a need to sew …woohooo I am happy about that…

Happy Plant

You know what a happy plant is yes?..Yeah that’s right one that grows beautifully and looks awesome…Well I’m not talking about that kind hehehe, I’m talking about the one we call Happy Plant…

due to them growing hardy up here and a nice green large leaf we have several on the block..

Anyways the past week we have had a beautiful perfume on the block lovely smell inside the house and very very strong almost heady spin outside.We thought it was the frangipani tree but on looking at it it only had a few blooms so we knew it wasn’t that.

Then hubby says the happy plant has flowers-like he was really shocked he has never seen it flower nor had I so last night  off I went and took some pics…

well just look at that flower, sure looks different and I smelt it ermm yeah very very very faint perfume..so I was a tad puzzled..then an hour or so later the heady perfume started to float on the air again..So I head of downstairs and outside to check out the direction of smell and sure enough it was from the happy plant’s and to my shock the flowers had changed so I rushed back upstairs and got the camera…

Just have a look at that hey..what a clever plant

keeping it’s precious scented inners protected from the damaging daylight-and opening up in the evening to share it’s beautiful perfume..

And no sewing happening here..am struggling to keep my eyes open for long..and am just brain dead from my new job..am sure things will settle down in a few more weeks..

Oh yeah and my )(*^%*&^$(*&^%$)( desktop computer is having on hellauva hissy fit..needs to be brain washed and re set grrrr….so it’s Lappy (laptop) for me yuk yuk triple yuk….

hello blogland

Hello all and many thanks for all the inquiring emails ( re my non blogging), it is so wonderful to know when you don't have friends close by that there is a network of them a keyboard stroke away........and please accept my apologies if you have instant messaged me and I have not replied as msn has decided that I don't need IM to function 100% of the time this past week or so, arggggg.I am here sewing mojo has gone out the window for the moment . Have started a new job, blah back in the traffic every day grrr-oh yeah as a passenger I might add hehehe bonus to having a job that's on the way to hubby's work...there is a downside however-when he gets help up at the office that means I am hanging around like a spare at a wedding waiting to be picked up.
Foot has some issues that are annoyingly painful-test's last week should shed some more light.
So what have I been doing hmm well last weekend I got out in the garden early and weeded then spread hay,then a wonderful friend turned up in the afternoon with a surprise for me..man I was so stoked as I had just finished all the garden and here was Mrs D with some thing for my garden..

Don't he just look grand.
Umm oh yeah we had cracker night on Thursday night that went off really well, there was no injuries at our gathering and the neighborhood was very well behaved as far as lighting crackers after 11pm-think we had about 4 go off up to 11.45pm very good indeed.
Ermm as you can see we had just a few crackers eh?..oOopsy and yes for those with quick eyes that is a fire control panel..hehehe

Tested out the video on my phone, gosh watching playback them crackers sure go off with a bang.


And I've been doing some shopping, but alas when one can't drive to far it's internet shopping I a go woohooo yeah for the internet...ordered some fabric to make this pattern I won in the OPAM challenge.

Umm ordered some books ..some stencils & another pounce pad (cause mine is in such a safe place that even I can't find it)...oh and I'm off to order some threads I just remembered I  forgot..
Oh and I have some news to share in a few days time oh and I also have RAK to draw..ok off I scoot for now...
Cheers Vickie Thanks for dropping in.
