A few things I've been working on...

I've been quietly working away on a few things - now this Christmas stitchery is to give me a head start for this year - I believe I found this pattern somewhere in blog-land and I'm so sorry I can't acknowledge the creator. Have made note to self ..."in future note down the blogsite and creator" ...


I've started working on a lovely Mill Hill cross-stitch that also involves little bead work in the borders - the 'cloth' is like a fine plastic and is not that easy to stitch at night - and need to concentrate so only a little progress on this...

Here's a very sneak peak of ChookyBlue's gift for winning my 100th post draw - ChookyBlue this will be on its way to you soonest...



I read Nicola's Daisies regularly and Nicola talks about her collection of 'weekend skirts' - this got me thinking about creating my own supply - here's one from local thrift shop - great score $6.95 ... I've found some other great buys in the local thrift shops too, however haven't taken any pics :(


Then I picked up this fabric from Arthur Toye on sale for $6/mtr so have cut out this skirt to make... ohh I think Nicola, you've got me started on something - have been so used to wearing jeans all the time around home in the weekends - am loving the 'weekend skirt' ... so much so am venturing into wearing them to work instead of the plain black I'm so prone to wear - its really quite refreshing !!

Have also done a little quilting on "Autumn Leaves" - have worked on detailing the batik leaves and now at a standstill while I work out how to machine quilt the background...
