Handmade.

After what seems like an eternity, I have a new bag pattern:


I stitched this stitchery months ago (for something completley different and then didnt use it) and in the end it became the central focus of this simple bag!!! Add a couple of heart yo-yo's and its the perfect bag for your stitching or your knitting or for a day shopping with the girls!!!

Im still busy getting ready for the Hobart Craft Fair but Ive also spent some time in the kitchen. Homemade soup is a favorite in our family and I love to try different combinations. I make big batches and freeze them, they make great meals for my MIL (at least i know she has her vegetables!!!).........im trying to work on the "perfect" damper to accompany them:

Tonights damper comes pretty close..........this is a Pumpkin, Bacon, Cheese (and onion and herb) Damper...... yummy warm with butter!!!!!........the perfect accompliment to soup on a cold night!!!
