stitching close up

little stitchings using a combination of my bits and Trace 's pieces...
Not sure what I will do with all the little stitchings yet but I am sure something will take my fancy, they are so easy to make and if you don't think about them too much very quick to complete...

what a weekend !!!

First off Saturday the first day of our sale...very quiet but sales were pretty good and quite a few new faces around the shed, apparently there was heaps of things happening around town. Sandra set up her glass beadmaking demo and did what she loves ...made some beautiful beads.
  Hubby came by about 4and we went to our grandsons 10 th birthday at Ringarooma (a 1 1/2 hour drive) had a lovely B.B.Q dinner and fab sponge cake .Then drove home arriving about 11 pm of to bed.


Anna,Chook, Pauline,Sally,Aukje and me sitting.
 
  Up early and off to fellow basketmakers Pauline who lives at Golden Valley ...such a lovely name and it is , when the wattle is in full bloom. We both set of to Latrobe for our christmas get together with the other basketmakers in our group.

Only 7 of us came today but we had a lovely lunch and recived a present in our swap challenge....this years majic word was INDIGO so we all had to create a little something with that in mind.( maybe that is why there were so few of us this time...a little to challenging for some.)

Our pressies are on the table in front   of us... i recieved a lovely Japanese lunch bag from Sally you can see it on the right hand side of the picture. Pauline got my gift which was a little box with a concertina book inside using some Indigo ink and fabric paint rags from my friend Tracy , she was stoked...she loves little boxes , i was very happy .

Back home check my emails and Tracy has nominated me for the LeibsterBlog Award  woo hoo... thank you Tracy. Will do another post shortly when i figure out how to do the stuff that goes along with it .: )
