Stitches all round

I have received a photo of one of my designs from a sweet lady by the name of Maryanne. She has completed my "A pocket full of sunshine" satchel bag and was kind enough to share a pic with me of her gorgeous bag.  Thanks so much Maryanne 8-)

 

What a pretty bag. I love the fabrics that Maryanne has used and it's always terrific to see my designs finished by others.

Another finished project is from one of my students. Her name is Laurel and I can't claim this one. It is someone else's design but Laurel has been making it in class and finished it last week. It is so lovely I had to take a snap.

 

Well done Laurel.

I have been designing this and that and a bit of stitching this and that and took a look at the fabric stash and thought "Hmmmmm better top that up" I no sooner had that thought and look what landed on my doorstep!! MADE my day, I can tell you.

  

A fat quarter bundle from my dear friend Rosie. This is Rosie's new fabric range out very soon called "Grandmothers Flower Garden" from Rosalie Quinlan Designs. Thanks a bundle Rosie 8-) x

I have something special planned for these beauties. Can't wait but meanwhile.....back at the ranch I have another sneek peek of "Wishful Thinking". It's nearly complete....I promise....I promise LOL!

 

Now I wonder what is going on here??? This poor little gal is hanging on for dear life it seems.......LOL  Hmmmmm....tick...tick...tick goes the brain!!!!

Other things of wonder is my very curious possibly ADHD Lorikeet "BARRY" who I swear must be on some sort of party drug. When he is out, which is every night, and I am on the computer (which is every night) he just has to be apart of everything. Clicking the mouse is usually his job but this night was rather comical. As I sat typing away and Barry was rearranging my stationary items......

I was getting ready to print something out. The printer was turned on and out came my printed page. Barry was very intriqued with this strange device and walked on over from my desk to see what was going on.

 

"HELLO" he said....no reply from printer....."HELLO" he said again. Hmmmm...what is it? he is thinking.Some new toy? will it feed me? What does it do, I want to know and I want to know NOW!!! In true Lori fashion. Barry waits for nothing. Patience?? what's that!

I think I will just hang around and see what happens, he thinks. So I printed out another page and he nearly exploded with excitement. It was so funnny to watch. The curiosity was killing him. He approaches slowly........

 

Do I enter???? "Hello, is anybody in there???" Of course there is no reply but Barry is becoming really impatient. No answer! How rude of the printer to be ignoring Barry. Doesn't it know who he is!!  LOL

"WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHATS GOING ON WITH THIS THING? please"

 

He is getting quite upset by this point. So I told him to just go for it Barry. Just go and really check it out.

 

 

This was as far as he would go calling "Hello's" down into the guts of my printer although for Barry it is this dark mysterious cave. LOL So the mystery continues with Barry and the mysterious printer. 8-)

Just before I go jennifer who was one of the winners from my recent giveaway has just started a blog. Why not pop on over and say Gidday! www.csorbafamily.blogspot.com

Barry and I are off for our nightly cup of tea and some more stitching.

So until next time..........

Mysteriously “In Stitches”

Barry is soooooooooooo cute. You seem to have heaps of birds around your place. I know your son likes birds, we used to have pet birds years ago when our kids were little. No. 1 son used to spend many an hour, incubating quails' eggs and then drying the newly hatched chicks by the heater. Sometimes too our house guests used to received two fried quails eggs on a finger of toast for their breakfast, cooked by his little hands. Of course these
eggs were not the ones that were being incubated. Darby and Joan (us) are by ourselves now and we collected larger eggs from our three hens, although one is a bantem.
