On my mind......Hearts for Christchurch

I've had a lot of things to do lately but I've found time to start putting together some hanging hearts to send to Evie in New Zealand for the gathering of Hearts for Christchurch . I'm hoping to send them on Monday.
A gathering of 400,000 hearts would mean a heart could be given to each resident of Christchurch.

SSGC #3 - Children's Music

Wiggles or Raffi?

Wiggles of course! This challenge was based on children's music from these artists so needed to have a children's theme. I usually have  my layouts with minimal embellishments but I had to put in our MOQ(mock) cat that I taught the kids to draw when they were young and it all began because of this cat!

Footnote: The above moggy's full name was Fletcher Christian as he was originally a rescued feral kitten and a bit of a rebel! There is a saying that history repeats itself :D.

Earlier this week I received this gift from my friend Cyndi at bluebirdswing. I'm very excited about this because she's a great bag maker and she made it out of a material with an Australian flavour to it. It has a lot of pockets for a little bag and I love pockets!
Also an apology to those waiting to see what I was making with the materials a couple of weeks ago. I mucked it up and had some unstitching and realigning to do and haven't quite finished it yet. Thanks for your patience and for those who had a guess, yes it will be a stuffed toy!

On My Mind

After reading Rai's blog and deciding to join in it has been on my mind to finish these as I've been going to do them for a while. Any guesses as to what they will be?

Missed!

Last year I was in a swap for a decorated shopping bag and I've just discovered I didn't post about it so here are the photos.

 Lovely Sandy always does beautiful embroidery and she even sent me a couple of hexies to sew on the sides after she'd sent the bag as she noticed that someone else had covered the supermarket logos on one they'd done and wasn't happy that she hadn't covered the ones on my bag! The same patterned material covers the centre of the reverse side of the bag. I take this bag with me for my craft shopping.....no groceries will ever see the inside of this bag, unless it's a box of choccies.
I can't post the bag I made for Marg as I neglected to take a photo of it :(.
