A bit of this and a bit of that...

I have reallly enjoyed having the kids home from school for holidays the last couple of weeks. We have done a bit of sorting out and re-arranging of bedrooms, which the kids always love.

For Sarah's room today I made her a cushion using the vintage tapestry panel that my lovely friend Natasha sent me a little while ago. Here's a pic of it on Sarah's bed. Sorry about the sunny spot in the photo!

I think the colours go pretty well with the vintage crochet blanket that we have on her bed at the moment! Thanks Natasha, Sarah loves it!!

Over the holidays the kids have also been doing lots of playing! We are very lucky and live only 15 minutes drive from Noosa, which is a very popular holiday destination for a lot of people. The other day we met up with their cousins for a few hours of swimming and playing fun! That is their cousin Oliver in the foreground and the other kids are having a swim on the left.

We were at a nice spot on the Noosa River where the water is very gentle, there are lots of boats to look at and there is plenty of sand for the kids to play in too. Heaps of families with small children were there that day. It's such a beautiful place!!

It's great on that part of the river because just behind us there is a little playground as well, so after a swim the kids had a play on this...

Here's a photo of Mitchell & Sarah in the water, with their cousin Lochie (in the middle). They had a ball!!

I told you last time that I had been busy sewing for orders and would show you the finished products when they were all done. So, as promised here are some pics for you to have a look at!

A pretty blush pink roses raggy quilt. I really enjoy making these quilts....I should make the time to do more of them! I have another quilt almost finished made in Laura Ashley fabrics, so will show you that one too when it is done.

I just love of all these pretty roses fabrics together....there are a lot of my favourites in this quilt!!

I also made four more bags in varying styles. I love using the quilted fabrics in my handbags as they give them such great body & shape. Not to mention how pretty the quilted fabrics are too!

I love incorporating vintage laces and rhinestone buttons/brooches in my bags when I can as well. I think it just adds something a bit special to them.

The drawstring bag is one of my favourite styles to make. For this one I used a variety of the lovely House Inc roses fabrics.

I like the way this one has the cute ruffly lace trim. It's so cute & delicate!

This Christmas Stocking was made so that both sides could be used as the front...

Vintage lace & rhinestone buttons on both sides!

Well, that's it from me for now ~ I hope you have enjoyed looking at my photos!

And as always, thanks so much for all of your lovely comments and for taking the time to read my blog!!

Catch up with you again soon,
