The bobbin on my machine is NOT the only thing spinning at the moment. My poor ol' noggin is in a bit of a spin. I just don't know where the weeks go sometime, I tell ya!
Many things on the go and then there are the days when I just go.....poof! and collapse on the lounge with a good DVD. Just not like me usually but at the moment I am one day on and then the next day off. That's my rotating roster! LOL I have to say I do like it when my shift requires me to man the lounge and keep a close eye on the DVD player. 8-)
SO, what's been happening on my other shifts. WELL............ finished quilting my "Wishful Thinking" quilt so just the binding now. YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAA! and I shall whisper now....then there's the pattern writing. I didn't say that too loud now did I. YIKES. LOL
It's a Bon Bon Christmas pattern is complete and available. HO HO HO!
And if you didn't sign up to be apart of the fun with "Under the Mulberry Tree's" stitchery of the month club and missed out on my project for the month of August. Well you can have some fun now as the pattern is now available.
"High Tea-Just for me" She's a little cutie. Just for your favourite mug and a muffin or two.
And while we are on bags I have whipped up a fun and funky bag to celebrate the warmer months that are just around the corner. Do I sound just a little excited about summer?? There's that beach chic coming out in me. So here is "Fruit Tingle"
This bag would be ideal for shopping, BBQ or just for the beach. Just the pattern to write now. (I say in a whisper) The fabrics are called "Frippery" and are available from Quilt Fabric Delights
Here is a side view
Easy easy with a gussett. No lining to turn through. Just binding.
Now the bobbin doesn't stop spinning there. Last weekend I spent the best part of saturday afternoon sewing some very grrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooovy cushions to go on my new lounges. I am lovin' myself sick I say with how they turned out. I do have a few more to make but they just add that burst of colour to my new look living room. As soon as I am done I shall share and I will also share some pics of Jack's new look room as well.
I'm a bit slack there aren't I, not sharing seeing that my deco weekend was about 3 weeks ago. See.....where do the weeks go???
So that's for my next post along with a giveaway!
So until then............
Keep those bobbins spinnin' “In Stitches” Natalie
Oh what a bag that is! Bright and fun and looks easy too! Very cute!

Big job that...keeping an eye on the DVD player that is. Ah, but someone has to do it right?
Love your bag! It's going straight to my Tumblr "poolroom"!

Natalie,
Dizzy and spinning. You have been a busy girl....
Fruit Tingles - I love them both... that is the lollies and the bag... any girl would look walking on the beach with a bag like that.

Hi Natalie,
Shame I missed the stitchery of the month club. It looks great and fruit tingle...what a great name. It certainly conjures up a summery fruit tingly look.
BTW you need rest days so don't feel guilty...they just refresh your body and brain and allow you to do a lot on the other days:)
Hugs,
Sharon
