The fabrics I ordered from the Fat Quarter Shop were split into three packages. I assume the postal service prefers them smaller. So, no sign of the main event yet, but when I got back from a quick scoot up town on Thursday I found a beautiful Charming Jelly Cake sat waiting for me.
Oh - Cherry - Oh was on the sale page and just begging to be bought. I've used the charms up already! Have a look see.One Grand daughter sized bag......
And one Grandma sized bag.....
They are both lined with pretty pink fabric and I used up more of the charms to make pockets inside. The larger of the two still needs some handles, but that's OK as yesterday, just before I went to work I discovered yet more goodies on my door step. All the hardware and other goodies I ordered for bag making have arrived and my Dream Green batting is here too, so I'm going to be a busy girl.

Before I can get too carried away on my sewing machine, I really must do some homework, it's only two weeks until my next trip away and all I've done is read the tree I was sent home with! I wish there was some way I could carry this stuff electronically, but the course facilitator insists on paper! So I have a couple of essays to write. No chance today, it's Saturday and DS Joe had his mate Joe staying over last night and probably tonight too if I know that pair. Maybe I'll get to the books on Monday.

It's DD Kay's 21st Birthday next Sunday and I have a fab idea for gifts, no Kay, I'm not going to let slip here, I'm not that daft!! You'll just have to wait and see.

I finally have a weekend off where I'm not on call and Hunney has a weekend with no work commitments either, great huh? NO! He has arranged to go and be Doctor Tony to a sick computer and to build a new computer and get it all ready to go. So, no lovely day off together! I'll see him about quarter past dinner time then. Sigh.

Gratitude's.
1) Hunney is making me a cup of tea.
2) Hunney bought me beautiful flowers.
3) Little boys chatting until 2am!

Don't you just love sleepovers! The bags are delightful. I am sure Kay will have something lovely next week, knowing her creative mother
Sleepovers are something my husband never understood--he actually thought that sleeping was supposed to happen when the lights were turned out! Silly man.
Love what you did with your charm squares. That is a very cheerful and cute set of bags that are sure to be treasured!
Pretty fabrics and pretty jelly roll- it looks like fun- The bags are too cute - they are sure to be a hit.
I hope all is well with you and yours.
Have fun with the new fabrics.
Regards,
Anna
