In amongst all the quilt action and uni assignments, I have actually managed to finish a few little projects over the past month, but eeek, I never seem to find the time to blog!
First up, the kid was off to a birthday party and I suddenly got the urge to put something handmade with the present. I have had Pretty Little Thing'sOwl Mask pattern sitting in my folder for quite a long time now, and thought they would make a great little gift. Obviously I couldn't make just one, the Kid wanted one too and I made a spare for the next party!
Second little project was a birthday card for niece. I have wanted to make a little stock of embroidered cards for a long time, to use for special friends and families birthdays, but of course that has just not happened. So I decided to just sit down and make one for my niece, sometimes you just got to start. I may not have a supply of them, but I now at least have some ideas on paper of what I want to do.
Third on the list is another coin purse. The rate Im churning these out, I should have about 4 done for the school fair in November! Maybe spreading myself a wee bit too thin - haha.

Last little project are these two embroidered hoops. On our trip to the UK earlier in the year, my brother and his family treated us to a lovely weekend away with a little surprise - we were staying in a LIGHTHOUSE. Now we are not going to forget that holiday in a rush, so much fun. The kid drew this picture of the lighthouse and I thought it might be nice to embroider it - one for me and one for brother's family.
And now I am up to date!
