Weekend Wrap Up

Not many pictures were taken this weekend. The combination of a headcold, a 21st and many, many shopping trips meant that I was exhausted and spent a lot of my spare time napping (which is why this post is so late!) I'm feeling a lot better now, but I have a persistent cough that is quite annoying. I am hoping to tackle some more projects leading into the weekend if my energy levels remain good!

Weekend Wrap Up.

The weather this weekend was terrible, rain, wind and thunder! Although that does make a good combination for staying inside and sewing (which is what I did mostly). Sewing the sash to the front of my first quilt, cutting and sewing up the back of my quilt and realising I don't have enough batting to fill it. There was a fabric shopping trip planned for this afternoon, but the bad weather wasn't inviting and so I postponed it for a better day. 


There was progress made on a few new bags for the shop that are mostly finished, and some work done on some not-so-finished bags. I also spent some time Christmas shopping (!!!) and planning my next personal project after I finish my quilt (I am thinking another cushion cover). Here's hoping for a productive week ahead!

Hello Again!

I'm back from my holiday! After almost 12 hours of travel I was back to my own home. It's only a 3 hour flight from Christchurch to Sydney, but the waiting around for other planes, going through security and finally the drive from Sydney back to Newcastle do add up! The main thing is I'm back, safe, happy and no one hurt themselves skiing in my group. Yay!


I'm finally caught up with everything that happened in Internet land while I was away, blogs and all. Now it's time for me to sew, something that I haven't done for ageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees (it feels like). And then maybe I might crack the camera open and wade through the photos that I took on the trip.

The first couple of days of being on holidays.

Being on holidays is awesome! I've really been enjoying doing something because I want to, not because I have to! That being said, I still set myself little deadlines and weekly goals I want to do. The goals for this week are to finish off some bags I have been working on and list them in the shop, finish my bunting that I started (and put aside to finish another time) and spend some time cleaning the garden out. This one has been hard, its been very windy at my house and the other day it was only 14 degrees! Too cold to spend time outside!


I have some pictures to share of what I've been doing.

Packaged and mailed out an order with my new wrapping paper.

I made a massive mess which I still haven't cleaned up. 

I bought a new iron! Finally! And she came pre-named "Stella" 

Painted my nails from a tutorial of Hello Giggles. It didn't turn out exactly the same, but I still like it! 

I also changed my pinboard decorations. Now it's more 'streamlined' with black and white and some colour. And its got a cool typewriter font that I downloaded from Dafont. 

Now, I'm going to spend the rest of the day knocking of items on my to-do-list including finishing off my Inspiration Friday post!  And looking outside to the sunny, sunny day that is to cold to go outside.
