Blog-a-long Day 14 - Birthday Present.

It's finally here... The time my gorgeous step daughters arrive for Christmas.. Lucky for us this time round, it has only been 10 weeks since we last saw them, usually it's 6 months between visit's..

Once everyone had woken up this morning and had breaky and all that, I thought it was time to give Miss P her birthday present, she turned 10 last Tuesday.

This is her 



And this is her reaction after getting her birthday present.



And just one more for good measure...




So I think I can safely say that she loves her new pressie... :)

Slack....

...in posting that is not sewing...

Wow I can't believe the last time I posted in here was back in July...

I have been busy though.. I finally finished the quilt cover that I was making.. And now that I've given it to the recipient I can tell you who it was for... It was for my step daughter who turned 13 back in August.. Her and her sister came for a holiday in September so I was able to give it to her. She absolutely LOVED the quilt cover. Here it is all finished..


I have also been extremely busy making Invitations for my Birthday Dinner in December. I'm turning the big 30 this year, and have decided to have a big party. So I hand made over 35 Invitations and RSVP cards for that. Finally I've finished, and they have all been sent out. So far from the response I've gotten, everyone loved them and thought they were really well made...



Another thing that has been keeping me busy is making placemats for family members for Christmas. I have about 60 of those to make, as I have 10 families to make for and am putting 6 placemats per family. So once more I'm going to be extremely busy.



And last but not least, I have been/am working on more bags. I've had a few birthday's lately so in the past week have had to make up 10 bags, with a few more to go. I'm also still trying to get my shopping bags done, so that I'm not using the yucky green bags that are out here in SA. But so far haven't got any made. Maybe one day I'll get to that.

Well I think that's it for this update... I won't be able to post many pics of what I get done in the next 4-10 weeks, as my camera has been taken back to the shops for repair. I'm hoping it's back in 4 weeks, but not expecting it back for 10.. ggrrrr...

It's coming along...

Well as promised here's an update on the quilt cover that I'm working on.. :) I managed to get quite a bit sewn up today while my boys were asleep.. (well in bed, not sure how much sleep they got. hehe)

I'm hoping to get a bit more cut out tonight so that I can spend tomorrow sewing as well!! I'm really happy with the way it's coming along...

Quilt....

Ok.. So I managed to get some material cut out tonight for the quilt.
I've changed the design as I wasn't overly impressed with the rail looking one. But this new design I love. So here it is..


And after 2 hours of sewing, it comes together, plus a small rearrangement of the way it goes together.....

Will be back tomorrow with more!!! :) :) :)

A birthday present...

Well I finally got it finished... A bag for my Grandmother in law... I really hope she likes it, as I spent AGES trying to find the right kind of material for a 94 (to be) year old woman.


Now to spend the afternoon getting on with either my Mother In Law's bag, or a friends quilt cover... Haven't decided yet...
