ReMinDeRs and FNWF

Firstly... let me get the
HouSeKeePinG
out of the way!

There are new instructions for the FREE towel topper on my web page... click HERE. I think this is an easier and a neater finish to the topper so I hope you get to try it out.

Christmas In July swap is nearing the mailing date of July 15th... remember no opening until July 25th... so I imagine you are all up-to-date with your 3 gifts in that swap.

And finally The 12inch MiNi swap... Winter theme... closes tomorrow, Sunday... so get your name down for this FuN and easy swap. For all details just click HERE... and if you want to sign up just add your name as a comment on the original post... HERE.

At Friday Night with Friends last night I made a window frill or valance curtain for my new soon-to-be born granddaughter's room. My DD1 knew what she wanted and said "time's a ticking, Mum"... so I purchased the fabric (and the rod) yesterday afternoon and last night I stitched it! It will be soooo pretty in her PiNk room. I'll show pic's when they are up in place.

Now I'm off to EnJoY a coffee and a treat...
I'll be over to your place to see what YOU did last night!

Greetings Cheryll. I've just recently joined the fun of FNWF. I didn't get much done except sorting through UFOs to get finished.
The frillies you've made for the soon to be baby's room are precious.
I've become a "FOLLOWER" of your blog and hope to visit often.

I totally missed FNWF this month. Way too busy here with my nephew's wedding and company visiting. I haven't sewn anything, except to repair a seam on hubby's pants, for about two weeks. :(
