Darn work - getting in the way of quilting

Darn it - I've been so busy at work, I havent had a chance to do much craftwork.
I bought the latest Homespun magazine and think that I will attempt a couple of the felt eggs, and I also bought the Melly and Me pattern "Sherbet" (http://mellyandme.typepad.com/photos/designs_by_melly_me/m016_sherbet_copy.html)

well, back off to work again...

What I did on the Weekend

What did I do this weekend?
I finished a the "Simply Pretty Bag" I has started in the class I took at Foothills Fabric and Threads quilting store with Ramona Hereman last Wednesday (see Ramona - I finished it, like I said I would).
I made a new bag based on the pattern, but I lengthened the handles to make it a hang over the shoulder bag, rather than just a carry in the hands bag.






I also bought the Dear Jane book..... argghhhh

For years I have been telling myself not to buy it, but I have... and I have bought a bunch of '30s material to enhance my stash and I will "attempt" to do it in the '30s colours. I have bought 8 meters of a beautiful pale pink as the background fabric. I will start my first few blocks this weekend coming.
