lets see what 2009 brings

This one seems to be suffering from the droops. I think I was in a bit of a rush the morning I took the photo, I can't really remember because it was a few weeks ago. This bag was a birthday present for one of my sisters, I've mentioned Shannon before, and as she lives in Toronto I couldn't blog about it until she received it. She was the only sister left that didn't have a backpack so it made sense that she should have one too.
The pocket for this one is using Of Paper & Thread fabric. It's the only one of her fabrics I've bought but she has some really scrummy designs. I have another backpack commissioned using more of the Pippijoe fabric, must get onto that one......

So Happy New Year folks! Hope you all rang it in right merrily. We spent all last week on Bruny Island at the shack, hence the lack of blogging activity. The weather was cold, wet and windy, with snow on the Hartz Mountains - and here was me thinking we lived in the southern hemisphere. It has warmed up somewhat since, we're off to Coles Bay this weekend so I may get to have a swim yet. Yay!

So how's your 2009 so far?

  3. Happy New Year Jen! Nothing wrong with being incommunicado for a week or so.

    Shannon's bag is terrific. Danielle's fabrics are delicious. I saw some that I thought would suit a *modern* friend of mine. I like Pippijoe to. Looking at my APQ blog you wouldn't guess.

    I wouldn't mind some of that cold weather after three days over 40 I've had enough! Have a nice time at Coles Bay - hope you get to have your swim!

    Cheers...Ann :)

  4. Bring on some warm weather please. I spent a week and a half at Binalong and managed one very speedy swim.

    Have fun at Coles Bay. I may go camping there for a couple of days next week if the weather is nice.

  7. I love the color combination. Very graphic fabric too with such wonderful contrast. I think it is a winner.
