A whole lot of gardening going on and not much on the sewing front. We've had a pretty incredible warm sunny week, it seemed as if spring was never going to come and here it is!. I'm about three quarters finished cleaning up the garden and about 90% done with planting perennials and a few annuals in pots around the deck. It sure feels good to have most of the garden ready. I stitched this cute little babushka doll pincushion in between getting dirty.
EDIT: the free pattern for the babushka doll can be found here, she's about 4" tall.
Isn't this the best bag, I've been using it everyday since it arrived at my house last week.
Mary surprised me by sending this wonderful bag to me. Thank a bunch
Mary, you are so very sweet to think of me.....I love it!
And look she even included a matching pincushion, how fun is that.
If you don't hear from me I'm still lurking around, just spending a bit more time in the garden. That's if the rain holds off a little longer, if not I'll be back in the house cutting and sewing again.
Happy Quilting.
She's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteBag and pincushion from Mary are sweet.
I love your little babushka! She is so very cute. I'm looking forward to some dirt work here in the next few days. Love the bag and pincushion.
ReplyDeleteI understand completely how you feel~Enjoy your garden! However, you seem to be able to multi-task nicely! I love your doll, so sweet. What a nice present, gorgeous bag and pincushion! :)
ReplyDeleteJust enjoy your garden and we will be here.... XO
Such an adorable doll!! Love the bag you got from Mary too.
ReplyDeleteWe've finally had a couple of days of nice weather but haven't got naar as much gardening done as I should have.
Very cute babushka! Where is the pattern from (if you don't mind me asking)? Love the bag, that Mary ... very nice and very talented.
ReplyDeletePretty stuff there. I love the pincushion and the bag too of course.
ReplyDeleteHasn't this stretch of sunshine been wonderful? Love your doll; that's a very cute pattern. Nice bag, too!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling, Wendy. That's where I've been too...in the garden!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bag and pincushion from Mary. She's a keeper for sure!
Lucky you! I have been dodging rain drops trying to get in my flower beds! This weekend is supposed to warm up and be dry...crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag and pin cushion - I am going to make one too.
ReplyDeleteGuess you are inside sewing today - as the rain is back with a vengence. It has poured most of the day here - but my tomatoes love it.
Glad you enjoyed! I'm doing a wee bit of unsewing...not fun..not fun at all!
ReplyDeleteCute little pincushion! And I love your totebag and pincushion from Mary.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather stays nice for your gardening!
What a stunning bag! Very inspiring and that little babushka doll is darling!

Mary outdid herself with that great bag and pincushion. And speaking of pincushions, surely you will not stick pins in that cute lil doll! A dear friend gave me a blue bird pin cushion that I just love, but there is no way I can stick pins in it.
ReplyDeleteLove the doll you stitched. Of course it is RED so I would love her.
ReplyDeleteGreat bag that Mary sent you. Lucky girl you are.
Very cute doll, and thank you for the link. I like your bag, it is just the right size and so nice. Enjoy your gardening!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the sweet pin cushion!
ReplyDeleteI love your little babushka! She is so very cute.
