This is another buzz for me - though not my design, I did make this great tote! The pattern is in the latest Down Under Quilts magazine! Also, a few cute fabrics I picked up at the Market Table at our South of the River day out!
Two new Australian magazines hit the shelves today - some nice reading tonight! And a little gift from dear Gwen - a new pincushion I have loaded up with various types of pins and needles and even needle threaders!
Every day is a happy day with my beautiful baby twin grandchildren! I have to say that as I have twin 13 year old grandchildren, too - a boy and a girl - and I have boy and girl twins, too!
They are all beautiful!
They are all beautiful!

Here's Heidi and Byron - I asked them what the bare pincushion was and they said 'a pillow' - I laughed and said 'no, it's a pincushion' - immediately Byron said 'can I have the mouse to put on my shelf at home' - they have always played with the little red mouse, rearranging the pins! So the little red mouse has gone to a new home!
A blank wall in 'My Studio' - this is what I have been working towards - so carpets will be shampooed on Wednesday and I have thoughts about what will fill the space - off to Ikea as soon as I can organize myself! I'd like a free-standing kitchen island bench - would make a great cutting table and so close to my machine - will the budget cope? - we'll see!

Heidi and Byron are so cute! I did not know about the 13 yr old twins and your twins - amazing! Love the tote and your new fabrics. Hope you can find just what you are looking for in your new space - happy hunting. So glad you are feeling better. Please take care.

The twins are so cute, and I loved the whole post.

Cute bag and lovely grandchildren Lurline.
My only grandaughter loves my pin cushions so I just give them to her. I guess its a kid magnet.
Wow, 2 sets of twin grandchildren! How fun that must be. These two are cuties.
Lurline, Heidi and Byron are gorgeous. Wow, 3 sets of twins in your family. You are truly blessed :o)!!
Hugs,
Joy :o)
They say twins run in families. You have had the good fortune to have several! Cute, cute little ones!
I had always heard that twins skip a generation. Not in your family! Mr. Cactus is a twin, and my grandmother was a twin, but so far not other twins are coming into the family (yet).
Oh that bare space is so tempting! And I absolutely adore that pincushion. Dearest Lurline, what magical blessings run through your circle of life that you have so many twins?! How neat is that? This really caught my attention and made me really smile.
Your tote is darling and your grandchildren are adorable! I loved the baby kangaroo, I have never seen one that small, and all your projects naturally are to die for! I have not had any time lately to go through all my favorite blogs and our computers at work were down today. I was just lost all the way around. I wanted to thank you for stopping my mine and commenting, it makes me feel like you stopped for a short chat. :D
Nice bag, cute pin cushion, darling twins and great plans for your studio!
Good to see your moving on, Gorgeous tote..The little ones are so cute...
Futon is gone I see, we popped into Ikea for lunch yesterday for the first time..what am amazing place !

Hugs Julia ♥
Great tote and absolutely adorable grandchildren. Grandchildren are so much fun!
Love your tote, and you are such a perfect Grandma, of course you gave it to them, just as any Grandma would!! They are darling!! I am so glad your heart is a little lighter!! xoxo
Wow! Such a full post! I am dying to see what you get from Ikea. I think a freestanding kitchen island is a brilliant idea for a cutting table. I've often stood at that display and thought that!
What gorgeous children ! My mums first granchildren were twins and her last ones too and twenty others in between !Frances Frog pattern is in my shop now .Take care .
Twins!
How wonderful! double the fun.....maybe I'll be blessed with some twin grands one day :0)
