I was given these goodies by Jenny when we were in NZ, a beautiful tin and some fat quarters.
and when we got home these gifts were in the mail from Donna, lovely NZ themed fat quarters and a notebook with a pukeko.....Christmas continues on! Yay!!
I took the cover off this diary bought on special to make a junk journal, now I have decided to make a cover as I want to use the diary!! Contrary me!!
but inbetween while waiting for glue to dry I did a little more stitching on the fabric from the class I did thru Guild with Caroline Sharkey
Also from Donna was a cute elf, love that hat!!!
the family is growing!!
here is the diary once I had glued on wadding and covered it with fabric, the spine edges are a bit wonky but I am happy with it.
Inside front cover
inside back cover.
Happy sewing.
you have some beautiful fabrics there x AND .. a truly happy family xx
