Today is my dear friend Dale’s birthday, (Day-Days Blog) she called in for a cuppa, I made a few muffins, chocolate and some orange poppy seed, I should have been more organized and had some of the girls come as well, but I didn’t think of that until it was too late, (how slack am I)…….Dale was still trying to decide how to spend the rest of her day….sewing or golf????..Love and Kisses to you Day Day on our birthday…

I actually purchased this pounce pad a couple of years ago….and I have never used it….how bad is that….

IMG_3875

I only have white chalk, a different colour would have been better but I can work with this…    IMG_3879

  IMG_3878 

This is the first time I have used stencils as well, and I am just so pleased with my efforts….looks like the pounce pad is a winner…..

And I am going to have a bash at doing these tonight….clam shells….I have joined Jossie’s Clam Shell Club…..not sure how I am going to go with these…enjoy your day….

I wonder if I may have ‘obsessive compulsive ‘……I seem to make a lot of these journal covers…well this one is actually a folder cover, so that is different…..LOL…anyway here is another one…..

Friday again…..we have a long weekend coming up, so that means 3 lovely days off work again, I think I could handle this working 4 days a week….have a great day..

I added a few hexies and now I have a new table runner for my table setting in our back room…..the photos are not good but I think it gives a bit of an idea…the fabric range I have used is Moda – Morris Garden by Barbara Brackman…it has been so cold here and it looks like we are going to have the same again today……

take care Peg….:>)….

Just a little bit of wool….

On our way to Mt Tenandra the other day, Dale and I stopped for coffee and scones in Gulargambone, just a little town, but they had a lovely Coffee Shop 28 28….and inside we found some treats both Dale and I purchased a skein of this wool…..now I am not much of a knitter, very dodgy actually, but I thought I could make a scarf , and this is my progress so far, lots of lumps and bumps in the wool, and I am sure this will hide heaps (fingers crossed anyway)…

I showed this photo yesterday of my Dresden Plates, and this is the ruler I used, I did use the 8 inches, so they are quite large…….but three plates I think will make a nice table runner....enjoy your day…
take care Peg…..:>)
