My holiday is over....

(boo hoo!)

Yes, I know its hard to believe but my summer of 

sewing, 46 days of it, has come to an end!

I had a little "R and R" at the beach 

 over the Australia Day weekend,

except I didn't get much beach weather!

 (Not complaining considering the extreme conditions including bushfires and flooding other parts of the country are experiencing!) 

Mr. PnP came home from his cycling sojourn with a 

lovely gift for me...


I did a little fabric shopping....

and made this drawstring bag... 

out of some pretty laminated floral...


I want to start sewing the eyes to 

 my "Ginger Kisses" quilt this week,


work commitments permitting!

Happy days!

    The days have really flown by! What a lovely gift from Mr P. I love your Ginger Kisses!! Your drawstring bag is fun too. Did you like sewing with laminated cloth?

    I love seeing your Ginger Kisses. Cute bag too, how was it sewing with the laminated cloth? I have steered clear of if so far. Holidays finishing is never fun. reality starts here again this week with one back at school wed and the boys on Friday. hugs, Sharon

    I loooove your ginger kisses too, and I must admit I love the edible kind of ginger kisses also. I am going to start making one of these this year, I bookmarked it ages ago and seeing yours developing has me determined to make one too.
    Yep not great beach weather here unless you were happy to be blown inland at about 90kmh. I suppose it could have been cheaper than flying the conventional way.
    Gee your holidays went fast, it seems like only yesterday you were telling us you were about to start your hols.

    Hard to believe that in another life I would have been facing a new TAFE year and preparing for lots of new classes and counting the days till the next hols. I hope you find time for some stitching. Take care.

    Sounds like a lovely end to the holidays, hope going back to work isn't too painful! I find that it's never too bad if I'm made the best of the six weeks, which it sounds like you have!

    Back to work for me too! You sound like you've had the perfect holiday: some time away, a present, fabric and sewing - I could live like that!
    I love your ginger kisses, they look like they took a lot of work, just as well you had a month or so off!
