Busy as a bee!

There was some of this ....


thanks to the Diva and her friend whilst I was out at a Guild meeting last week ...

and, believe it or not, I was in some serious need of retail therapy ...


these are in anticipation of an expected baby ...


some lovely Cape Anne ...  well because it's just so lovely  :)  he he


and maybe a little Ruby, I've been eyeing this up for a while and being as some yardage arrived at the LQS, well, it would have been rude not to, right?


and these batiks ( oh sorry I forgot to warn you to avert your eyes)  have been gifted already :) 

and whilst I've been busy buying, I have been busy stitching too ...


just one or two more bags ...


and a dumpling pouch (enlarged) for the Diva ...

I feel there may be an order or two from her friends very soon, I also think I can add just a tweak or two to the pattern ... maybe next year


gotta love gingham  :) 
 
There has been other sewing too, but I can't show you the rest ... sorry

So as of today I have one more stitched gift to make for Christmas, all the shopping is done (read as - that I am going to do!)  still a package to arrive by mr post man who has been very absent, and just the small matter of house tidying, table clearing and spare room to sort out...  oh and the leeks and parsnips to go dig out the ground ... and we'll be ready for some food prep

oh, and wrapping ... I can do wrapping :) 

How are you doing?

Christmas Quilt Along - Part Two

After being rained off down at the allotment, and a little light lunch, those potatoes were delicious baked!

Time for a little baking ...


Mmm, banana cake ... smells and tastes delicious (good job you can't see all the crumbs round my mouth! lol)


And a couple of Courgette Bread loaves. 

So I thought I should get on with some sewing, and get to trying those Dumpling pouches ...


I'm quite pleased with my prototype, would I make this again? 


YES!  And it was really very straight forward, and lucky for me I even have a stash of zips!
(don't ask!)

time for a little glass of a cheeky red and rest, it is cold and dark after all!
