this is to say a very big thank you to cindy http://www.myroadtoinspiration.blogspot.com/ my very good friend in Iowa i loved a pillow she made for christmas and i tried to get some of the same fabric no luck and guess what a parcel arrived here  and in it that fabric  wow what a girl she is so now i can make the christmas diva pillow :)))
http://www.myroadtoinspiration.blogspot.com/2011/12/friday-night-sew-in-goodies.html just scroll down and you will see what i mean it is gorgeous ...........................also i am hoping we two are going to be like that gal on the cushion by christmas ....................will have to get me a skinny red dress :)))) thank you cindy lots of hugs .
i have made this bag using Ayumis pattern http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2010/08/tutorial-lunch-bag.html also a small cushion paper pieced using some of cindys fabric that she sent along too,

here they are together well now talk about international ................................usa,britain............russia that is where these are going to be headed my sons girlfriends niece she is 4 yrs old (are you still with me ) liked the cushions that i sent them at christmas so i was asked to make her a small one ..............done so i have made her the bag and i am putting a few goodies in it .
i know i am not a pink girl really this 1000 peeps came in a bargain bundle from http://www.etsy.com/shop/pinkcastlefabrics brenda puts together some good bundles and i dont think her postage is too bad either .

think that is it for now
no it is not we went to edinburgh yesterday i didnt take my camera as the weather was crap but by the time we got there the sun was out and it was so gorgeous so i took some pics on my phone if i could get them off the phone you would be amazed how sunny it was but i will keep trying .Posted by Picasa

  2. Love the bag and cushion too. Very brave to put up your weight goals - I love the idea and being so very public probably helps to say 'no' to chocolate. Must think about this - I am 5'5" and 11 stone and need to lose lots of flab - no idea of BMI and do not even have a scale. I have been indulging after a year of illness and am getting fatter by the day!
