Last week of my holidays…

I have had the best holiday ever!  Everything I wanted to do I have done, I’ve stitched, I’ve read, I’ve slept in, I’ve stayed up late, spent time with family and friends, and generally spoiled myself doing whatever I felt like doing at the time…..as is always the case all good things must come to end.

I wouldn’t appreciate how wonderful my holidays have been if I got to do all those things listed above, all the time! So no complaining from me, I am rested, recuperated and ready to face whatever 2010 had in store for me!

There is a give-away on this blog that may interest you, so if you like a give-away check it out and leave a comment to go into the draw for something very much like this little cutie!

I’ve been saving $2 coins for over 12 months and yesterday I placed the last one into my collection bottle.  I had heard that filling a 600ml soft drink bottle with $2 coins will total $1000.00 and I do love a challenge.

I will take this lot off to the bank to be counted and begin my next collection!

Another bag…..this bag came from the Sew Pretty Homestyle book I bought recently. It was difficult to choose what would be my first project from the book, all the projects are so lovely and I just want to make them all.

The original bag uses circular cane handles and I didn’t have any, so I improvised and covered some rigilene with left over fabric.  I love how it turned out and just know it won’t be the last time I make this pattern.

Three weeks into January and three bags completed!  It must be some kind of record?
