You Sew Girl

Had an enjoyable afternoon at Nikki's book launch of You Sew Girl. Looking forward to trying some of her projects. Packed full of sewing tips, patterns and projects and not just for bags.

While keeping shop today I have made this beautiful cotton Eco bag from a kit and fabric from Kimono House. It will be perfect for my market shopping and I love the fact I can roll it up and pit it in it's own pouch.

Autumnal Gardens

Thought I would share with you some wonderful garden designs from the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show this week.

I particularly love all these garden sculptures

and there were lots of vegetable gardens that were pure art

Think I picked the best day to go with beautiful sunshine.
