Friday!

Yep, Friday; I have worked a 2 day week, and that was 2 days too many; the Christmas decorations are now all packed away and the house seems a little bare after 2 months of Birthday and Christmas cards covering every surface, but on the plus-side it's been a year to the day that we moved to our lovely home, and I still get a buzz living here.

I am determined to give the house a good clean tomorrow morning and get some serious sewing done on my Brit Bee Constellation quilt this weekend; hopefully I'll have some siggy stars to show you at the least.

Thankfully I have had a couple of good mail days to bring my smile back on getting home.  Yesterday, this awesome bundle from Brenda at Pink Castle, although I bought these fabrics, it still felt like an awesome present had arrived...


I have now decided to bind my Bee quilt in the aqua Joel Dewberry herringbone; I would love to say this was the plan when I ordered the fabric, but that would be a fib, but it is a great result!


I am totally smitten with the scissors...


... and these are just pure fun!


Then today I got a parcel from Benta; she spent some time out in Australia just before Christmas and came home laden with fabric, and kindly offered FQ bags to her eager followers, that'll include me then!


I love this take on the traditional Aboriginal patterns, and it goes without saying that I love the keychain.  Thank you B x

I know I am not the only one who's had a less than perfect week, so here's to a happy weekend for us all xxx

    Joel Dewberry herringbone is still my fave for bindings - love it! Good luck with the cleaning - we bypass that pastime as much as possible in this house ;)

    I especially love those scissors and the pez. I think the herringbone is perfect for bindings as well. Have fun with all those goodies.

    Oooh, yummy! I have a few parcels winging their way to me (about 6 I think, some dating back from before Christmas - eek!) Still, the nice postie left a card today so hopefully there's a few of them all nestled together up at the sorting office...

    I got an identical parcel from Benta too ;o)

    Yummy fabric!! I used the navy herringbone as binding on my 'does not compute' quilt and I LOVE it!! It's currently my favourite fabric :)
    I also got a couple of those pezzy print charm packs but have no idea what I'll do with them!
    Hope you're having a fantastic weekend!
