Parcels

So 2 of my friends had baby boys this week!  Yay!  I sent off one big parcel on Friday and just need to finish another nappy wallet to send off the other.  LOVE baby news!  Bit silly though, forgot to take a photo of all the handmade goodness!  Oh well.  No photos of any other finishes to share but I have been down to the shop and picked up some pellon and backing to finish the boys wall hanging.  It is on the lounge at the moment, patiently waiting till all the folding is finished and for Bones to come on tonight!

Just a quick post so I can get busy!
Happy Sewing!

S is for Sunday, S is for Sewing!

Well we are home after a lovely Easter break catching up with family, and doing a fair bit of hand sewing on the long car trip.  I am now almost finished all the appliqué on the boys wall hanging and have sewed together the blocks I've already done.  I've started block 9 and will hopefully get to finishing them soon.  This is a Kids Quilts pattern I've had for a few years and finally got around to starting.  I also have the Alphabet wall hanging which might be next on the list.
The seahorses finally got stuffed!  They are very cute and are destined as baby gifts for a few friends and relatives expecting in the next few months.  This pattern is a Melly and Me.  She has also got a new bag pattern that will be finding it's way to my house soon (Christmas presents for nieces and nephews)!!
 And I finished off a few of the hexagon bags.  I think I only have 2 more to make for nieces birthdays later in the year.  It feels good to have a few things finished, now I think the sewing room needs a good tidy!

Happy Sewing
