Reading Time . . .

I have been a follower of Michele @ CityHouse Studio 

since I found her perfect layout for my FW quilt!

(-in case you haven't seen)

So when she was looking for pattern testers I jumped 

at the chance!

And this is what I finished up before I went to   


Sydney......

A fabulous book bag....

The letters were paper pieced and came together 

really well!

And on the other side there's a cook book, a bike 

book and even a maths book in on my bag!

iPhoto would not let me turn this photo around, no matter what I did!

And the lining is bright and cheery too!

This pattern is now available @ CityHouse Studio 

etsy store!

Thank you Michele for giving me the opportunity to 

try out your great pattern!

Happy sewing!

A 'Watery' Walk...

Our walk today starts at Bronte....

And luckily that cloud is not coming our way....

Ah, there's some blue sky....

A little rest along the way...

And that would be Bondi, around that corner...

Even a brave surfer or two... 

One last look south....

And after short bus trip and we are at 

Watson's Bay......

Famous for Doyle's fish and chips.....

And one last ferry ride back across the harbour...

Towards Sydney Town....

Happy days....

A Sydney Walk.....

Would you like to take a walk with me....

 It's a beautiful morning for a walk...

that would be the War Memorial...

And Captain Cook, looking pretty proud of this place 

he 'discovered'!

and into Hyde Park.....

St Mary's Cathedral...

a weird looking sculpture...

What's that I glimpse.....

Ah, there they are.....

 The famous 'coathanger' and 'sails'....

Let's have a rest at Mrs Macquarie's Chair...

Maybe we should have taken the bike?

 Phew, you deserve some breakfast!

ENJOY!

Going Potty....

I've had this fabric in my stash for some time now...

ooops! It's upside down!

In fact I had cut out it out ready to make potholders...

I even had the bias binding ready!

But it was only when I was in Spotlight last week that 

I spotted the Insul-brite I would need to finish them!

I did a variety of quilting and.....

Not quite Zakka, but fun anyway!

I am really pleased with how they turned out!

Thanks Debbie and Simone for giving me the added 


incentive 


to get this little project ticked off!

Linking up with Tuesday @ the {summer} table 

And

 Local Honey Crafts June UFO Challenge!



See you in a few days, I'm having a break in Sydney!
