Hello,
I hope you have had a great start to the weekend. Did you know I have an addiction and I can bet you do to. I can't resist downloading those PDF's. Did you even know what those letters mean,besides that the ones I download usually contain a free pattern or stitchery design. PDF stands for "Portable Document Format" in case you really needed to know. Well I thought it was about time I started sewing up the ones I have saved on the computer. I started with this little stitchery bag.

This was designed by
May Britt a couple of years back for a swap. The thing I loved about making this little bag was I used up two different types of wadding. I joined them together to make the front and the back. This year as well as last year I really am hoping to make all my projects without hopping out to the shop to buy items. I will be using up those smaller pieces of wadding in projects like this.This project called for some cord. Now I didn't have the right length but I did have a huge shoelace type thing. This was cut up and knotted at the ends,just perfect.
Another thing I am addicted to is magazines. Gosh it is awful having these addictions!!!!

Magazines I won from Michell
|
I was lucky enough to win some magazines from
Michell's blog. It was fun to receive these magazines. Of course this meant it was time to stop work and put the kettle on for a cuppa and a read. Thank you so much for sending these to me
Michell.
Now I hope you all have a fun weekend and do something you love.
Happy days.

I can relate to your addictions and I have another one. "SWAPS"
Trying to get my UFOs done but I keep signing up for swaps.
PDFs and magazines are so addictive!
Isn't that stitchery bag adorable. Congratulations on your win, lucky thing, nothing nicer than a few new magazines to look through with a cuppa.

LOL.........got I have so many things book marked I want to do and yes quite a few pdf..........and lets not talk about the mags...........although in the last 12 months I have cut back.........
Yes, I'm a magazine/book addict also, but they're an excellent resource.
A cute little bag you've created Bev...congrats on the win!

Your little bag is very pretty - love your green fabric.
That stitchery bag is so darn adorable! I love the size, and that green fabric framing the sweet angel. Such a great way to frame a stitchery project. I'm addicted to magazines too, which can be so inspiring.
Hi Bev. Congratulations on your win. Thanks for explaining what PDF stands for. I've never known, not that I really gave it much thought. But it's interesting to know! Hugs, Christine
