| Diary cover - In the Life of a Bag by Anni Downs |
I was so tempted to spend a fortune on a new diary and organiser from one of those beautiful stationery shops but after looking through Anni Downs book "In the Life of a Bag" I decided to improve the one I had instead. I used American-themed fabrics I was given in last years Christmas swap. I am feeling pretty pleased with myself and this is my February Monthly Make with The Felt Fairy. Valentines Day treats included heart lollies from my husband and white chocolate cupcakes made by me, yum!
Leanne and I shared a fun swap together and I was blown away when her gift for me arrived. Inside were all the goodies above: lots of fabric, thread, tape measure, stationery, a gorgeous Gail Pan pattern, and lovely gifts Leanne had made - a heart ornament with beautiful stitchery, a pincushion and a needle book. I love the look of the heart hanging on my china cabinet door. A huge thank you to Leanne for spoiling me with such generous and perfect gifts! Once Leanne has received my gifts I will post about them and I'll be back in the weekend with my Friday Night Sew In results.
