Today

has been a busy day, lots of emails to catch up on, still sorting Mums stuff, had to get the St Johns emergency alarm payments refunded and also trying to stop a direct payment to another charity...not easy from over here. We had a trip into Geelong this afternoon and the day was nearly over!!! I did get a little sewing done...now dinner is late...but such is life!!
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.
