Hello everyone, this is my contribution to this event, I am really looking forward to seeing all the wonderful creations around the world and sharing a bit of our lives with eachother. I have found many wonderful sites with so many lovely things and photographs, it really is a wonderful way to communicate and share. I only found the info for this event today, via a lovely blog, Thread Head. So I have just made a little bag as my giveaway, it just needs a strap, i am thinking of a red canvas one, so tomorrow i will go on a hunt for this. Its all lined and and reversible and the front and back are different.
A bit about myself, I am an everyday mum from Australia, I work on a part time basis as a nurse at a small regional hospital on the queensland east coast. I have been sewing on and off for many years, although quilting has been a happy learning curve the last 12 months. The garden also occupies a fair bit of my time, its a large one and lately its been a challenge to fight the weeds as we have had major rain and floods. I just love the beautiful flowers, and try to include these in my blog as often as possible. So please leave a comment so i can visit your blog and send the prize! Thanks for hosting Lisa, here is where you need to go for a look
