Some goodies

I ordered a couple of patterns in the hopes of actually sewing something.

And a couple of fabrics to make some dresses. Or tops. Just need to work out what to start with - and actually get started.
Going to help a friend make some cushions on Friday. Maybe that might kickstart my productivity. I sure hope so.

Delivery day

 I love when mail comes earlier than expected. I received my Christmas stuff today.

 I ordered some Cherry Christmas Charm packs to make a new table runner & placemats..

 along with some yardage for the backs.

 Some Field Study for a new bag for myself.

And some Michael Miller Hearts because I only just discovered them and I think they are so so sweet.

And from Pink Door Fabrics I got 2 new patterns

 I'm not sure what I want to start with.
What's on your to do list this week? Are you getting organised for Christmas?

Have a great week -

Finally Friday

I am so so happy that Friday is here.
I managed to get about 10 hours sleep last night and I'm finally feeling like myself instead of a zombie.
I whipped up some dough and some pizza sauce in my thermomix before I got the kids from school today. So I am all prepared for pizza night tonight. I LOVE being organised.
And to start the weekend off right I got some Happy Mail. I got this pattern from Oh Sew Rosy. Thanks Amy.

I've got 4 things to make before I start on it though. So it could take a while. Or I might just push it to the top of the list.
This week was full of some serious yummy dinners. 2 new dishes appeared on the menu. One was a baked risotto. Very delish and the other was Sweet & Sour pork. So so good.

Add to that, 2 batches of berry muffins.

And it's been a busy week in the kitchen.

What have you been whipping up in your kitchen this week?

Well have a happy weekend. Whatever you may be up to xxx

Lined drawstring bag

I decided I wanted to sew today. After digging through my larger bits of fabric, I decided to make the laundry bag from the Lined Drawstring Bag Pattern by Jeni Baker from In Color Order.

I got the bag part done before school. Then had the last part done within 30 minutes of being home.
I'm going to use it for our laundry when we go camping. 
It was a fantastic pattern. Easy to follow. Easy to make. I really like to make things that I can complete in just a few hours from start to finish.

I definitely see a couple more of them being made. And the smaller ones too. So cute.

Anyway - have a happy weekend,

New patterns

Today I'm in my happy place. I've taken some Cold & Flu tablets and they are working. I've got my music cranking and some new patterns to try, which I am really excited about.
First up is an awesome duffle bag. Perfect for travelling. You can find it here along with Cherie's other fabulous patterns.
And after using my Spice Market tote at the markets the other day I realised I need something a little smaller as it almost got too heavy to carry once it was full. So I'm going to make a few of these Jane Market totes and see if they work better for my needs.
And a little scrapping. Nothing fancy. But an important story I need to remember. Still using my Summer Camp kit. I think I bought every add on with it and there is still tons left to use. I don't think I will ever use up my pile of kits!!

Nearly time to do the school run.
Hope you are having a fabulous Monday xxx
