School holiday finishes...

I had promised my 10 yr old daughter prior to the holidays that we'd make something together using the sewing machine,

this is what we came up with...

The preparing stage...

The designing stage...

Sewing stage...

Got to love the double foot action!

Still sewing...

Look what I made...a bunting

Some clipping...

More ironing...

Ok,

it's fair to say it was at about at this stage that the novelty had worn off and it was mums turn.

And we now have a finish, what do you think?

Complete with those all important pockets for those 'special' things,

I think she's proud of her (our) work.

I did manage to get a few other things done during the holidays including some gardening.

I had this really daggy part in my garden which was crying out for some attention.  You see I like my succulents and cacti.  But, because they're in such small pots they get terribly messy and I wasn't sure what to do with them, until I found an idea from my local hardware store. 

FINISHED!!!

I've also got myself a little more organised and taken some photos of my kaliedoscope quilt which I had started in a previous post,

Love the quilting from our local long arm quilter, Pam Jarmen.  Think Mia's happy with it too...

Wow, I really did have alot to share.  Till next time
