Mothers Day....postponed....

Well, the plan was to have our Mothers' Day celebrations in Sydney this year at mum & dad's ... but, as it was becoming a very wet and windy weekend a family decision was made that, in order for us not to be on the roads travelling over this weekend, we would "postpone" our Mothers' Day to next weekend..... after all does it really matter what day we celebrate this special day? ..... And, so it came about that I had a very relaxing weekend "cosied" up at home against the elements.... what was I to do??.... Be creative!.....make something for myself! 

This project has been in my "to-do" box for.....quite some time!!

A start..... and finish in one weekend.... I think the zipper sewn in by hand took as long as the piecing - wasn't very relaxing! 

One side.....

and the other......

It's just the right size to store some crochet....perhaps a stitching project ..... or the socks that I enjoy knitting? 

Last week a few ladies from our Tuesday night embroidery group decided to get together for an "extra" night..... they all wanted to make the small hexagon dilly bag I'd finished the week before.... hexagons all taking shape here.......

Will see what other projects might get started or continued during the week - the second sock of the pair I'm knitting isn't far off being finished....... am cutting out lots of little squares for a table topper I'm making...... have some more bunnies to make.... my daughter Hayley's quilt is cut out and ready to sew up.... and so the list goes on..... But, the weekend is over and it's back to work tomorrow......

Happy Stitching
