Mill Rosie photo’s and FNSI Results……

This was just a few of the lovely items made by the clever girls of the Mill Rosie group……

A few more items from our red swap this month, I had to take two photo’s as I couldn’t get all this loveliness into one shot! Aren’t we a clever and talented bunch of ladies!!

I was also VERY spoilt by Sharon of  http://lilabellelane.blogspot.com.au/ in our one on one swap with this gorgeous weekender bag designed by Amy Butler made using a honeycomb pack of  the new Midwinter red range of fabrics that I just love!

I cannot thank Sharon enough for this beautiful bag  and it will be travelling with me in April as I travel around Tassie for my birthday trip with my sister Anne, it will be put to good use by being filled to the brim with craft projects I can work on while over there and I have a funny feeling Sharon’s blanket will be one of them, crochet is such a portable craft!

Now Sharon understands that she needs to be a  bit patient with me as I’m still working on her crocheted blanket for this swap and I suspect it’s going to take a few more months to get to the finish stage with it but I’m loving how her blanket is turning out I may just have a little bit of difficulty actually giving it up when it’s done  I can just picture me and Sharon having a playful tug of war over it when I present her with it lol….

I’ll post a few more Mill Rosie photo’s  over the next couple of days as I took quite a lot on the day!

Now onto FNSI results and this is what I managed to do while watching a bit of TV, I managed to sew two rows together now to get onto making the other squares so I can finish this and present it to the mum to be before my next hair appointment in March yikes!

Just another wonderful day that we are lucky to be a part of. Your bag is gorgeous and will be well used in Tassie.
I am sure Sharon won't mind waiting for her lovely gift. She will need it once the cold weather sets in.
