Here is a snap shot of our week. This week we have been
Getting organised
– making shopping list pads (a good excuse to use some Japanese Washi Tape)
Shopping
– lovely Japanese fabric from Calico and Ivy bought on a shopping trip with my Mum. I especially love the double sided red/natural linen fabric. Dots and stripes – what could be better!
Busy creating with our friends
– Sarah has been stitching on paper to cover jars and boxes with her friend
Receiving a package from a sweet friend
– Eva from Angel.Pearls sent us a prize from her recent giveaway – a gorgeous phone charm, and sweet crocheted brooches. Thanks so much Eva!
Reading
– Sarah has read That Summer by Sarah Dessen – a coming of age story.
– Lisa has read “Handle with Care“, Jodi Picoult – a really moving story of a family in crisis.
Going to the Movies
– The Blind Side – a most inspirational movie
Impatiently waiting for some goodies I have ordered from here, here, and here.
Hope you have had a great week! I have a couple of sewing projects in progress – hope to be able to show some finished items soon.

Hi Lisa, looks like you’ve been busy and I love the sweet crocheted brooches. We’ve just had a few days of cooler weather, so I have had my head stuck in books as well. Kind regards, Anita.

Thats an awful lot of stuff you have been doing this week. Love Sarah’s sewing and covering craze it looks wonderful. I see a distinctly red theme at the moment with the quilt you are making and that beautiful new fabric. I too am waiting not very patiently for the post man to arrive. Have a good weekend.

You have had a busy week indeed. As for me, I made a comforter case for my daughter’s bed! (Aurea, from http://mary-laure.blogspot.com) I will deliver it personally in Los Angeles next month when I visit her. I used two old sheets that had belonged to my mother (circa 1950). Aurea is all about recycling and consuming less. I’m very proud!
