RAE gUN'S gIVEAWAY....

just trying my luck here...hehheee...

TU-TU-TU...TUUUUUU.....



almost finish...
hand-quilted, hand-sewn from start to end.... the colourful striped on the sides are made up of multi coloured polkas - just colourful enough for a little one... hand stitched to each other then quilted again...
this is a project given by mil for little Cassandra...
wanted a backpack/drawstring bag sort of thingy to be done up... but ended up looking gorgeous like this with Robert Kaufmann's Owls...
almost done only...
...as the full moon had not 'risen'... and one of the magnets legs was fractured in the process of attaching it to the flap...
arrrggghhhh...
now just waiting for time so the shops are open and i'll have this project on field trial...
girl already loves it as she loves the OWL...
if you follow ntv7, you'll know everyday at 10am,8.30pm and midnight... there'll be this snippets of comic involving an OWL... very dark humour...very good!
till then...shall post another picture once completed...

also need some ideas how to make this sling bag - NOW - into a kiddy backpack??? hmmmmm...

lots of receipt!!!

sooooo...
that all the item i've got from her...
did went back on monday to get a little bit more.... just a little bit.... ya right, did hit way past 200...! so... no eating out for many days to come...sit put and sew at home!
