So here is my Secret Santa package waiting patiently for the big day isn't he a cutie?
I have been sewing some presents at last - I may even have some ready before Christmas Day.
These cuties are adorning a pillow case for Miss11.
A little fussy cutting and a matching garden theme print.
My version of the Daylesford Buds bag pattern that I received at the Daylesford retreat this year - okay so I just used the shape and pretty fabric and omitted the applique - this is a good sized bag.
Ooh and Melly was generous enough to supply a matching pouch pattern - I made it from the same pretty fabric to match. These are off to Miss14.
Then I gave Nomee a well earned rest and sat in the comfy chair and did a little stitching.
This was a free design from Gail Pan in 2009, can't decide which colour is my favourite, may just try a few more colours.
Oooh and the Santa's mail elves brought me another present.
My mug rug from Leah's swap came from Canberra - thanks to who ever my secret swapper is.
It has two patchwork sides and is in my favourite round shape and came with fabric - perfect.
The front
and the back.
Just perfect for a morning or afternoon cuppa.
Now I need to get back to my needles and thread, plenty more projects lined up.
Have a Fantastic Tuesday.
Whew.....a lot of activity happening in your loungeroom...lucky Misses, nice pressies you've got done there...think the new mug rug needs a cuppa to test it out...

I like the red tree, but I'm sure you will also try a blue! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCute mug rug, I like that it has been done as a circle, makes a change from the usual rectangle type shape.
Great gifts - are they for your nieces?
Happy sewing!
Wow...where did all this activity spring from?
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so lusciously lovely I dont know what to look at first - for the second time!
Lovely post Mistea. Very pretty projects and the kitty pillow is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that kitty fabric! Aren't they just so cute. Looks like you have been very busy lately!
ReplyDeleteYOu have been busy! I really love the bag and pouch. Lucky miss 14!
ReplyDeleteYour hand made gifts are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove your stitcheries in both colours, they are really sweet.
I am going to have to make a mug rug these holidays!
Hi there - I'm so sorry I forgot to include a note with your mug rug from Leah's swap - the Christmas crazy has caught up with my brain! I also forgot to take photos of the finished product! Anyway, glad to see it arrived safely! Jxx
