I have spent the afternoon Sizzixing pieces for round two of Brit Bee as I will be Miss January 2013 - lots and lots of HSTs all prepared; I was hoping to give you photos of my lovely piles, but I have only just finished, so you will just have to wait.
In the meantime, I have also pledged to join in with the in crowd and Trip Around The World. I have pulled 36 Denyse Schmidt FQs, but they may have to wait in line, as I need to get that BB fabric all packaged and mailed, along with making some inroads into the first of 2 commission quilts that need to be finished by the end of January. Hopefully I will go forth into the New Year all teched-up and using the #scrappytripalong mularky. Here's hoping!
Having had a quick look back, I have also failed to show you a lovely Chrustmas pressie I received from my special blogging friend Annabelle, a leather sewing pattern purse! (I know!)...
It is superb and will be used lots, especially when I head back to work.
I can also show you the Secret Santa gift I made for fellow Brit Bee Fiona...
I was getting my Panto-groove on when planning this, the Postcard from the Peeps pouch, using Lynne's paper pattern from FQ Retreat and a precious scrap of Lizzy House as a starter. So although not overly festive, I know that Fiona is planning on using it after the pine needles have settled and mince pies are a distant memory! I am yet to receive my gift, if you were wondering; my partner is a very amazing and busy lady so I told her not to stress it pre-Christmas, and so, the festivities live on.
love the pouch, and that bag is AMAZING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow to that bag! Glad you are still enjoying the Christmas fare and can't wait to see my HST challenge.
ReplyDeleteOh that Peeps pouch is adorable! I thought I may be having a 'senior' moment when I saw my name as I couldn't recall having sent that bag to you (although I wish I had) but I see that it is Annabelle. Happy New Year Hadley - I hope it is wonderful for you and yours. I can't wait to see what Miss January has up her sleeve.
ReplyDeleteLove what Annabelle has made for you, so original and love Fionas purse. I have been watching Katy's trip around the world progess today on twitter. It looks very addictive!

ReplyDeleteNo chocolates left (= crankiness setting in)
ReplyDeleteI seriously want to make a sewing pattern purse.
Is the 'design' transferred onto the white leather?
I'm making one on Tuesday.
(Happy New Year!)
It's fun to see you had a great Christmas and still have chocolates. Ours are long gone. On to 2013, where we all will have new projects to share. I'm, Tripping along too!
