Magazines, a little stitching, and meeting Michelle!
We were away (again!) over the weekend, so not a lot of crafting was done. I have been reading these magazines which arrived over the past couple of weeks:
I subscribe to all of these! Interweave Crochet only arrived yesterday, and as usual it has some stunning projects! While visiting my parents I managed to do a teeny bit more stitching on my Brown Owls tote:
I have a few plans for lining the tote with complementary fabrics and adding them to the handles. I’ve finished my name embroidery and just need to make a top to sew things on to!
But more importantly, I had a visit from the lovely quiltingmick from Canberra! Lucky me – she had a few days visiting Melbourne and we were able to coordinate for an hour and a half. It was the first time we’ve met “in real life” – and we had a great chat! So much in common, sometimes it is spooky! She gave me this gorgeous crocheted flower brooch, which looks absolutely huge in this photo!
Thanks so much Michelle – great to finally meet you and next time we might be able to go fabric & yarn shopping together!
I am a definate blogmeet convert and of course you guys would have heaps to talk about.
Your brown owls tote is looking great – I haven’t even started my name – Must add it to the “to-do” list.
Lara, thank you SO MUCH for having me over, feeding me and watering me. It was fantastic to meet you finally, and I have to say I am so envious of your fantastic sewing room!
Hopefully we’ll meet up again soon.
Oh Lara, your owl looks absolutely gorgeous.
LOVE that owl!!
