Worked out nicely!

Another working Wednesday, this time, proper work; there's another Inset day tomorrow so a little swapping was required to keep at least some annual leave for other things than children!

So as compensation, the postman was on extremely good form!

Before I show, I must tell you that all these purchases have a purpose, no frivolity here, (that I have saved for the 2 parcels currently winging their way from Brenda at Pink Castle, woo hoo!).

So I had these from Backstitch...



Some Klona solids, of which one is the backing for my Stained quilt - I have plans, which may, or possibly may not, go to plan, but here's hoping.  Thanks Alice x

Then there was a parcel containing 3 squidgy meters of batting along with a Sweetwater Reunion layer cake and Kona Ash from marvellous Mandy at Simply Solids...


I have a school friend, who is also the daughter of one of my Mum's best friends having twin boys in the Summer, so I want to make a little something for them and/or big brother; their oldest will just be turning 2 when the newbies arrive, been there done that, this really is destined to be a pity parcel!

Then I have buttons, a hundred tiny shell beauties, some of which may find themselves adorning the Fat Quarterly Retreat name tag I am making for ???

My rail tickets for the aforementioned weekend away arrived too!!

Tonight I will be wrapping up Bee parcels; sorry Jude and Ceri for the delay, and my Mum's little pressie will be posting tomorrow as we aren't meeting up until the weekend after Mother's Day, when I will bestow the traditional chocolates and flowers. 

So there you go, a little bit of 'give' for all my 'take'!

  1. Lots of nice goodies there!
    I had to comment to say that the title really reminded me of George Formby - "Turned out nice again!"

  2. Love the Sweetwater bunting fabric! All those buttons remind me of those Pearly Button coats the English used to wear! Maybe even George Formby!!!

  20. Love Reunion, I just brought a charm pack. I'm so jealous about the fat quarterly retreat. I considered not coming to Oz until after but couldn't leave hubby on his own for that long! Still wish I could go though
