Christmas in July

Another successful swap hosted by Cheryll .

My Packet was waiting for me at the post office, inside I found the most lovely items from my partner Kim .

all nicely wrapped.

lovely star trail/bunting/wrap around christmas tree.

Lovely mitten trimmed fabric hand towel & a gorgeous cushion the embroidery stitching is so neat and fine beautiful hand work.

A beautiful tin with yummy bears..I get to eat them all in one bunch as they are melded together (hazard of living in the tropics). aaaaaaaaaaaaaand

So dang cute, thank you heaps Kim I love all my gifts and thanks a zillion swap mamma Cheryll .

Sunday all too myself

I have thoroughly wowed my day today- had a pajama day yeehaaa…got about cleaning sewing/computer room..

made chicken vegetable soup..yummo….

made pumpkin chutney using this recipe here
http://gggiraffe.blogspot.com.au/2008/06/pumpkin-chutney.html

Left mine chunky as that’s how I like it..had no brown sugar so used white with a tsp of molasses and had only malt vinegar so used that it smells divine.

Made myself a new bag

have has this fabric for ages and when I picked up for the pricey sum of $1.00 from spotlight curtain scrap bin – I instantly thought of a bag..just took me ages to get there.

Have quilted a table runner but will post picks once the binding is on.

Also made pumpkin cookies but the tray kinda hit the deck so no cookies.
