still ambling along ...

... more baking, emergency cookies for an impromptu visitor,


who had a delivery, and when I'm done with it I will show you!

and my Tripple Zippy Pouch ...



which just happens to be  twinnie to Annabella's 

and I started quilting those great big Vintage Modern Stars


which is on my FAL list, so I'm making progress, about half way through quilting at the minute, 
good progress :) 

and I rustled up a bag, saw a pattern, looked simple enough for a bag dunce like me


and it was!  
I'd make this again, but I would probably make it slightly bigger and add a zippered pocked to the inside lining too.

ah, yes, and then there has been some swapping of ugly fabrics happening about these parts ...


I guess up to 10 years old, not used constitutes ugly in my book!
though one recipient really loved it!

and there was also a little relaxation ...


with possibly one of my oldest UFO's, but that's a whole other story!

    You put everyone to shame with the amount of work you do, and then you even have time to make cookies. I assume you don't sleep?
