A while

back I thought it would be a good idea to make a rubbish bag for the car, not that I have a lot of rubbish in the car, but it would be good to have something in case! So I bought some plastic and some jute material and measured a friends bag we thought might be the right size and off I went. Plastic is not that easy to sew I discovered, but we have a finish and it will do the job well.

One for me and one for Ingrid, not for hubby as he suggested!!
I went for a walk down to the PO this morning


 The pelicans were waiting for some fish to be cleaned and were enjoying the scraps

Paying close attention, I was surprised not one of the pelicans tried to pinch any fish which was in a container right in front of them on the sand (behind the wall).


It was a great morning for a walk.
So today I have cut out the next block for the BOM from the Today's Quilter magazine.

cut and ready to sew.

this project saw the light of day once again, I need to get on with it!

This week in the evenings I have finished 4 stars.

Mr Supervisor got a bit hot today, but he is good and is supervising as per usual.

The desert rose is still blooming and looking wonderful, more buds on the way.
This morning I wanted to take a photo of the Aussie Hero quilt before mailing it off, my helper wasn't really helping....


He is a challenge!!

Finally!!
Pizza has been ordered and is on it's way so I think a G & T might be in order.
Happy stitching.

  3. I was reading and wondering where the supervisor was until I got to his photograph. I think I would sack the helper and get a new one lol :) (Don't tell him!)

  4. well done with the bags. I have never tried but I understand a Teflon foot is the trick for the plastic sewing. You need to invest in some training for your helper... haha....gotta love a man who makes you laugh. Lots of different projects happening... I feel right at home here...

  12. I am laughing my head off at your "helper"! They make our days brighter even when they don't follow instructions! And supervisor is always adorable. I am guessing the pelicans have been 'trained' well not to try and snatch the good fish! Enjoy the rest of your week!

  14. I love my car rubbish bag especially the jelly bean lining! Wonderful pop of colour! It’s hanging proudly from the car headrest now...thank you so much Sue! As for the helper...the supervisor is much more of a help :-)) The desert rose is just stunning and so happy in its big pot. You’re always such an inspiration with all your projects!
