. . . a lot of the time,
surprise surprise, I found myself in . . .
my garden. I did manage however, a Shopping Trip with teacher friends to Melbourne. We hired a little bus, and off we went to the "big shops" for a day out. I bought myself a new doona cover, take a look below. Everyone said "oh you could have made that Annie!!" but it was 'kinda nice' just to buy something special in the style that I love and the velvet bits exactly match my curtains. I was very happy to tuck up under it last night.
I did do a 'spot' of sewing on Friday night . . .
BTW if you want a great tutorial on how to make these little beauties, visit Our Shabby Cottage, as I understood these instructions really well, which is saying something, as I am usually HOPELESS with instructions.
. . . but the rest of the time was spent in the garden.

I agree with Rachel - that house fabric is adorable! It's far too cold here to spend much time outside - I still find it hard to understand Christmas being in the summer for you - totally weird!!!!

Your garden photos are amazing!!! Can I ask where your little name tags came from...they look great on your purses! Gorgeous fabrics! Not many days left!! Cathy
What a lovely cover. i know what you mean. If you always said "no I can make that" you'd be rushed off your feet and never get that special feeling of "someone else made this". I swear ready chopped salads taste better than when i've chopped them. LOL
Stunning garden beauties, and what an unusual fabric. Love it!
Great pics Annie and did I spy lots of little zippy purses?
Love the flowers!!! :o)
We have -21 C today...so the flowers is a pretty sight...;o)
if my garden looked that nice i would be there too...thanks so much for the link...i was wanting to make some of these up for christmas and i do have a pattern but i love trying new ones especially if the instructions are easy...
I love your doona cover with the velvet bits-very nice to get yourself a treat. Sounds like a fun trip to the big shops. Love your garden photos and those zippy purses are cool!
gorgeous flowers Annie, and what is a doona cover? Is it like a sofa cover?
: )
Beautiful photos as usual. Thanks for the sharing the tutorial.
A shopping trip to the big smoke....I'm sure you bought more than a quilt cover.
Is the pink big flower, picture no. 2, a rose?
Oh, I wish I had a garden! Oh well...the velvet on that cover is lovely!
