Happy mid week to you all. Over the last few days we have had more heavy rain and wind, right over all of New Zealand, and there's also been bad flooding in some parts. I've been wearing winter boots to work this week, and my coat too, very strange for this time of the year. Our daylight savings hours end in a few weekends time so I guess the dreary weather will really set in then.
Anyways, onto something brighter - I have some sewing finishes and shopping purchases to share, two of my favourite past times, hee hee.
These little Easter stitches were actually done last year, I just didn't get time to make them up. I've had the cute bunny fabric in my stash for awhile, just waiting to find the right project to match it to.
This little design is freebie by Alexandrina and can be found here,as well as lots of other sweet bunny freebie designs.
And some more spotty fabric used on this cutie pie Lizzie Kate design, Sampling Easter Quick-It. I love the Weeks Dye Works periwinkle thread used to stitch the alphabet.
Now for the new goodies - our local knitting store has started to get in their new winter stock and pattern books. I picked up the supplies to knit the pink design for Hannah - I was told by the store owner that this knits up really quick, just what I need, lol.
Earlier in the month I went to a training course held out of town so it was a good opportunity to stop by one of our bigger craft stores. I picked up a few balls of wool for some Easter crochet projects, that may or may not get done in time :)
These were too pretty to resist:
And so were these scrummy colours:
The latest Mollie Makes issue to arrive in NZ also turned up recently, once again filled with lots of pretty ideas and inspiration! I'm purchasing these from Sew Pretty, an online fabric store based in Christchurch.
Well, that's it for today. Many thanks for stopping by, and its great to see some new people are visiting and taking the time to leave me a message.
See you soon xx
