The night before

 And so just at the last minute on the night before The Biggest Morning Tea I've sewn the finishing touches on the Dressing Table Centre ready for raffling tomorrow.

 Quite pretty. Another free stitchery pattern from patternbee.com

A couple of Raffle Prizes

I've now finished 3 Raffle Prizes for the Biggest Morning Tea event next weekend. One more to finish, photograph and post.

All free stitchery patterns came from this site.

*putting my feet up* now with a cup of tea, and starting to knit a baby cardigan for my baby (which is now 21 weeks along, and measures about 27cm in length) - working on the first project for my baby. I am so excited!

Little Stitcheries

Feeling good! I've given the Blue Willow Mother's Day table runner away (insert photo here).

On the way to having 5 table centres finished for the Morning Tea Raffle prizes.

I love this little heart surrounded by cherries with a bit of ric-rac. 

 This one is a little simpler. A little vintage folk girl stitched in variegated blues. You can find the free stitchery patterns here.

These two centrepieces need quilting. I am working on another three.... let's see what I can finish before my self-imposed deadline of Thursday. After Thursday I will just finish what I've started without starting any more.

Mum has landed 3 weeks early, with my rotary cutter, rulers and mat, as well as various stash enhancers. Woohoo! 

I am happily cutting away. Life is good.

And! Of course...

It's Mother's Day this Sunday, and I've been thinking that my Mum will be on the road, so I haven't posted anything to her.

There's a mother's day stall at the primary school tomorrow so that Rhette can buy some gifts... and yet I had completely forgotten about a gift for the new MIL.

I've had a rummage through the caravan stash and found these that I stitched well over a year ago.

Cinderberry Stitches Pattern "Twelve Red Robins"

They've needed rotary cut squares appliqued on. This is the next step. Then a simple border, quick quilting and binding. I got them out thinking of the raffle prizes, but my Sweetheart has sternly "told me off", saying I am not to give away these with hours of work on them to someone who won't appreciate their value and will use them as a handkerchief. Heh heh. He is such a Darling.

MIL loves blue, and she loves decorating for Christmas. I will finish the blue one for her.

These are the supplies for raffle items I picked up yesterday.

Amazing how quickly it adds up hey? I'll make do with all sorts of things I have here so that I don't have to buy any more supplies. That's it. Kaput. No more spending. I'll just have to be creative.

It's fun to have so many projects to work on! And at the moment, while I'm gestating a new human being, I have time to relax and rest.
