A little quiet :)

I have been very quiet this weekend for good reason...



Oh happy days when this arrived in the post, I have decided to do a small quilting project first so its all about squares for wash bags this weekend and looking around for cheap shower curtains for the insides. I have decided to get a move on and make some Christmas pressies as it will be on us soon enough and with the amount of children I have you have to think of these things in July :)

I also had a bit of shopping therapy and bought myself a bag as my other bag was well falling apart I know I should make one really but I kind of bought one for around £20 when I was going to buy a Cath Kidson one, so I saved a bit (well that's my thinking anyway around it).

I love my bag :) and believe me it is a much improvement on my old poor battered one :)

Hope you are having a lovely weekend I am keeping it short today as my squares are calling honestly I was like a little kid when it arrived.

Love LBF x

    Hello LBF! I am eager to see your progress with the rotary cutter. I think mine may be a little dull or I just don't know how to operate it correctly. I should take a class.
    I LOVE your bag! I splurged and ordered a Cath Kidston bag last Christmas and I still adore it! Yours is so pretty!
    Are the children free from school now? I bet you'll have a lot of fun with everyone about!

    hello
    am catching up on your lovely posts at last :)
    i've always felt a bit nervous of rotary cutters and other sharp tools as i am a bit of a butterfingers.
    your rose fabric is lovely and the new bag too.. i really like the satchel style, lots of room for everything and very pretty.
    looks like you'll be having lots of fun over the summer hols with your sweet family.

      Hi :) there is nothing to be nervous of as it's obviously fool proof as I can use it :) I bought some lovely books that arrived today and one of them is called With Fabric & Thread by Joanna Figueroa it is a beautiful book with her life experience of quilting so if you are ever thinking of starting up then buy that book x

    Hello there!
    I love your new bag. (Its dreamy and summery)
    Just the job!
    Thank you for such lovely comments over on mine and I was so interested to hear that your Brother is one of the chauffeurs delivering athletes from the Olympic village to the stadium! wow!
    Although we all as a family have tickets now,only us parents get to see Deano for a short while before he runs (1500 metres) It is gonna seem a long way around, watching my lad! ( I know I will cry)
    this is the last week of school for your 'wee' ones , so I hope you can chill and enjoy the long holidays....
    Am a hoping the sun is shining on your Wednesday too!
    love mariax

      Even more interesting for me as I was a 1500 metre runner myself I loved 800 metres better but my athletic club said I was a 1500 metre runner and they were right in the end as after 800 metres of a 1500 metre race only the best and toughest are left to fight it to the end :). I cannot wait now I will be soo excited too but not as excited as you his mum it's sooo amazing :) You and I both know that the Paralympics are much more special. Trust me I will be shouting for him and so will all my kids and my mum as she reads my blog and mentioned him too today after reading the comments xxx

    I have added that date and time to my calender :) and yes D day is an excellent name for that day. I actually cannot wait and I bet you, your family and Deano are beside yourself with proudness and excitement. Would be lovely if my brother turned out to be your chauffeur xx
