More runners, a visitor and a MESS

I had planned to pop in yesterday..... but I tell you, it just was not my day!! Everything I touched turned to 'crap'.... can I say that here?? To bad, I did! I had planned to get up early - after doing arvo/night shift - big mistake! I had lots to do, but nothing went right, so I had a late afternoon nap (something I NEVER do!!) and just didnt do a thing after that........

Anyway, this is what I wanted to show you.... the Table Runner I made for my work Secret Santa gift. I used a charm pack of Frosted Memories as I wanted it to look Xmassy....... This pattern is the same one I used for the Hampton Blues Runner I made which is my own design..... I must write the pattern up as it is SO quick and easy!

I used little white buttons in every point instead of quilting it. So along with one of the Bon-bons filled will Candy Canes, I think it will be a great gift!

Today, while doing some Secret Squirrel stuff, I could hear all this racket outside. On my investigation, I found this little fella. I rang back inside for the camera and by the time I got back out there he moved from one of the tree's in the back yard and was actually on the lawn! I tried to get a little closer, but he flew away! Then I heard him again..... just down the driveway sitting on the fence - SNAP.... got him!

I have SO many sewing projects on the go, and some not even started at the moment. I just could not work in this mess:

How embarrassing!! So, this arvo I decided to give it a little bit of a clean. I was starting to find that I could not find a thing! All good now!

Ok, better get going...... some stitching is calling! I shall pop back tomorrow to show you another gift I will have finished by then!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend
