Stitching and Shopping fun.

Hi Bloggers,

I've been sewing!  My machines have been serviced so I'm enjoying the sound they make as they stitch for me.......it's a bit like purring!

I've finally made time for some new cushion covers for the chairs that sit out the front on the balcony.

A table cloth too, made from fabric I had in my stash, which is very satisfying!  

I had to visit  our local (ish) craft store, Spotlight the other day.  It was in the middle of a re-vamp with piles of stuff being moved around. In fact there were probably more people moving product than there were people buying it.

Oh what fun though, they had bins full of amazing bargains......I couldn't resist adding a few to my basket.


Like this little LED rechargeable folding desk lamp for $10 which was half the sale price!  I bought us one each, his is black and mine is white.......perfect to use for close work, colouring or stitching and easy to carry when traveling.

I couldn't resist a couple of Amy Tangerine products:  A date stamp for $5 and these sweet little tags for $2

I also bagged a pack of 40 themed cards for Project Life......just under $5, fabulous!

I won't bore you with the household bits and bobs ......... well not here anyway!

I got so carried away I left the store, then remembered what I actually called in for....so had to go back........$7 for some stiffener to make fabric bag handles!  Another little sewing project yet to be started. The pretty fabric was bought on our last road trip, when we visited Yamba in northern NSW.

 I do love sorting through the bargain bins..........how about you?
