Am I Crazy???

YES!!!! I just finished a friendship bag for a swap at PQF - even before the registration is closed - because my time in October is limited and I leave for vacation in November.

I saw this banner a couple of days ago...........



....... and what did I do today........... joined the swap. The good thing deadline is January 18th, 2010 - I think this should give me enough time for a mini quilt after I get back home.

HELP - I guess the swap bug cought me!!

The Next Swap

Well I showed my friendship bag I swaped at PQF and some of the quilting gals liked it so much that they started a swap also. I thought about joining it for a couple of days because I leave for vication on Nov. 4th and I still have so much stuff to do. Oh well - what you have nights for - you don´t sleep you sit infront of you sewing machine and sew a bag for the next swap. Tadaaa and here it is

Well yeah the pic quality is not the best - but it was in the middle of the night and my light is not the brightest! I think the bag turned out cute, I used brown faux leather for the bottom + handle

Intruder

Saturday night when I was sitting in my sewing room to sew on some binding - I cought an intruder roping down right infront of my nose and landing on my thumb.



Sorry for those lousy pics - but I had to be fast to catch the intruder on a pic so I could report it to the police *lol*.

Well, since autumn has arrived I´m afraid I will have some more of them the next couple of weeks - however they find their way inside.

Friendship Bag Has Arrived

Last Friday when I got home from work - I found this package in my mailbox. Its from Judy from the sunny state Florida. Totally exited I ran upstairs to open it

I felt like Christmas

A letter where Judy told me a little bit about herself

The beautiful friendship bag - I love it. The pink and the flamigos represents defently Florida, the black and white fabric car-racing in Daytona

this little book with great sayings in it, handwritten

some very pretty batics (I love batics)

an adorable wallhanging - beach, ocean and sunset sky - I already feel like I´m in Florida. This wallhanging will get a special place in my sewing-room

Judy - thank you so much for the package with all those goodies. You spend so much time and money in making and buying all those pretty things. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - I defently felt like its already been Christmas.
