Oh yes, life has been VERY busy at Leanne's House and I am in one of those frantic work situations where every deadline seems to be yesterday! So here's what I've been up to:
Writing the pattern for my new Christmas stockings, which I have decided will be called, 'Waiting For Santa'. The pattern is being double checked at present but I will let you know when it's ready to be released. Here's a snapshot:
I have been stitching and writing like mad to complete the apron pattern (more photos soon) that needs to be done yesterday! Working on the 'Loxton Vines Quilt', that just needs to be bound (photos will be posted when I can get some non- rainy weather!). Writing and stitching a pattern for Quilt Fabric Delights wonderful 'Pincushion of the Month' program. But best of all has been going to Rosie's book launch!:
Here's me and Rosie (did you notice that each of us has an angel on our shoulders!):
Here's Rosie and her sisters - Melly, Rosie, and Erica:
And ladies keen to get their own copy of 'Gift':
We have also had another big event in our local area, the relocation to a larger store for Foothills Fabric and Threads:
It's big!:
And beautiful:
Look at that full and entire range of DMC threads! Oh yummy!!!!
More chat and photos soon...

Hey Leanne! So ... when are you finding time to SLEEP!! Or is that just off the agenda for a while!! Tee! Hee! Hee! And what is it about deadlines that they all seem to fall at once?! Or perhaps that's just me procrastinating so long that it just SEEMS like everything is all due at once! Hope you have time to smell the roses somewhere along the track in all your busy-ness and we'll look forward to more yummy projects at the end! Bear Hugs! KRIS (Tag Along Teddies)

So many pretty things in one post Leanne! You sound super-busy. I popped in to my local quiltshop last week and was stunned to see Rosie's pretty new book there! So lovely. It's on my list! (It's a shame that my wishlist is so long!)
