FNSI - June

I seriously did not think I'd get to any sewing tonight for FNSI - DD2 is having her baby shower tomorrow and there was "stuff" to do - but I was back home by about 8.30 and to escape the AFL commentary from the other half - I hid in the sewing room....One would have thought they were losing by miles - but they managed to scrape in for a win (Geelong  in case you care).

One thing DD2 had asked me to do was to insert some magnets into these Toy Story toys - they are soft toys but they will sit on a light she has above the change table so she can grab one to use as a distraction when bub is being changed....(yes she is well aware not to let the baby actually keep it....she is all over that safety stuff!!!)

This turned out to be quite fiddly but they're all magnetised and ready to stick like glue to the light.!


But tonight - I worked on some of the unfinished pages for her alphabet book...still a few more to go - but I'm waiting on pictures of her dog so I can use that for the D (oops I've just remembered I was going to use a picture of the cows ..oh well...too late now I think...I don't think I've left enough room)





That's an envelope...in case you were wondering...

These still need the blanket stitch but at least Ive got them ready...

Hope everyone else had a fun night - maybe some of you were productive?? maybe not . . LOL

Thanks Wendy - always nice to gather at your cyber house.....and I love how recipes keep cropping up on my facebook...lol

Well done with the magnets. The alphabet book is wonderful..ah yes I escaped to the sewing room too, hubby was not impressed Geelong scraped in with a goal after the siren, but his Geelong supporter friend was very happy.
