All work and no play makes "Shabby" a very dull girl.....

This is what hours of "isulation istallation" looks like.....yep, pretty dull isn't it? And that little bit is only about a 10th of what we have done over the last few days. I am very pleased to say that the bottom of the house is complete and the upstairs two rooms about 40% done. But I have done all I can now, so it's up to Hubs to finish off - Yeah!!!

So it's time to play.....back to the sewing room for me.......

(let's just ignore the 4 loads of washing strewn all over the lounge room floor, the dusting, the bathrooms and the toilets, blah, blah, blah...)

More Matryoshka's in the making.....

And some pretty bags! I need to find the time to list them on the website....who knows when that will be.

Running out of time.....?

Is there anyone else who feels like they are running out of time when it comes to Christmas? Well, I most certainly do! I still have 5 presents to make. So, I need some gifts that don't take much time to make.

Here is 1 I finished this morning....A wristlet.

It's for a friend of mine who is always carrying around her keys and mobile phone because she hates handbags!!! Can you believe it? Well, I hope this will help make her life a little bit more hands free!!

This is a quick and easy present to make - this one took me only 1/2 hour from start to finish.
This one is made with some Amy Butler fabric I have had for ages and not known what to do with it. IThey aren't really my colours but I loved the combination together and I know "she" will like it.
It measures 8 1/2" x 6 1/2", I used an 8" zipper and cut 5 strips, 2" wide and 8" long.
Too easy!!! There is a tutorial on my sidebar if you'd like to know how to make one for yourself....You will just need to add the handle.

I think I'll make some more!
