It's Finished and Fifty Games!

 My Merry Mistletoe Banner is finished. Yeah! 

I am so pleased with how it turned out. I thought it would be different to stitch it in blue, a change from all my other Christmas stitching.

 

 

 

The stitcheries were designed by my lovely friend, Michelle Ridgeway of Rag Tag Stitchin'. Michelle kindly shared her pattern with a group of on-line stitching friends last year. If you love it like I do, you can order it from Michelle here. 

Thank you Michelle. I hope you like what I 

did with your stitcheries.

Today is Sunday and that means football in the MacDonald family. Today Nelson plays his 50th game,
which is quite a milestone. 

Nelson is waiting to run through his banner at his next home match. It's lucky he has an away game today as I had trouble getting the brown crepe paper. I only managed to get some on Friday after searching many newsagents in several suburbs. Mitchell also has his 100th game coming up in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to be busy making banners! I have all the lettering cut out ready to go.

Congratulations Nelson. Well done on 50 games!

Love Mum, Dad, Mitchell and Austin.

Friday Night With Friends!

I didn't get my banner finished as, due to the last couple of days being windy, my eyes were very sore. I had to be Mum's Taxi as well! I managed to finish stitching down the bindings and have pinned the binding along the top of all blocks. With a bit of luck I'll get it finished today.

Thanks Chez for hosting another wonderful 

Friday Night With Friends! 

Head over to Cheryll's to see what everyone else got up to.

Friday Night With Friends!

Tomorrow is the 3rd of May, so that means it's

 Friday Night With Friends!  Yeah!

Hopefully, I'll get it finished (that's the plan anyway!).

April OPAM!

I've had a productive month for April's OPAM. Four lavender sachets, two covered hangers, redwork hanging, Chook House quilt and two pouches. Ten items made plus more secret sewing that I can't show you yet!
