Can't believe how quickly September has come and gone this year...with 2 more projects for OPAM completed...how I have loved this little challenge...
I can honestly say I have never finished so many projects before in this amount of time!!!
First off I started with this gorgeous fabric sent to me by my dear blogging friend Simone 
together with these fabrics...
and stitchery...
made into a Sewing Companion...this wonderful little companion was a project by Fiona from my local Needlework Group!!!
I had these little velvet baubles and I couldn't resist using them on the spine!!!
I love to add extras if I can to any projects...
As Coco Chanel once famously said...(as you walk out the room take one thing off)...Less Is More
Less is More is a 19th century proverbial phrase. It is first found in print in Andrea del Sarto, 1855, a poem by Robert Browning
I'm a bit the other way...as you walk out the room add something else...More Is More ha ha!!!
Amidst all this Mr Armchair putting together my new sewing table purchased at The Craft and Quilt Fair... I think I'll do a separate post on this another time...
the inside...
The blue felt is a start to another project from my Group...a little pincushion!!!
And here it is all done Yay!!!
If I can I like to sign and date all my work...
And I can't seem to get enough of the Elm Creek novels lately...have just finished The Quilter's Kitchen by Jennifer Chiaverini...
I wouldn't mind getting into the kitchen with Anna and cooking up some meals for those Quilters!!!
Next I'm ready to start The Lost Quilter and have ordered The Quilter's Holiday!!!Dress rehearsals are in full swing for Cabaret...
(put on by our local Amateur Theatre Group, The Bay Theatre Players)
will post some pics up next post...
and I'm starting to believe there really is such a place as The Kit Kat Club...
complete with Sally Bowles!!!
What good is sitting alone in your room
Come hear the music play
Life is a Cabaret old chum

Nice finishes. I always get a buzz when something works and your finishes are lovely.
Elm Creek novels are engaging. I read a whole slew of them while recuperating from my hip replacement last Christmas.
Nice table nice DH
Very pretty organiser/comapanion. It seems warm and inviting, though I know you need no excuse to use one! Peace, L, X
Love your newest little sewing companion.
And that new table... you'll be sewing up a storm on that.

Good morning (at least for me!) precious Dzintra! THANK YOU for coming by yesterday; I am soooooo tired from work that I cannot even look at my computer like I used to when I get home from work! I hope this craziness passes fast; I can't live like this!!!! THANK YOU for the lovely comments on my post Oh you are now entering into summer, and you are going to have a blast. We are loving the shift into autumn. The colors here are spectacular and it seems as if over night, we experienced a sudden burst of ORANGE color from one of our little trees....so divine.
POACHES PEARS in champagne....does that sound good to you dear? I LIFT MY PEAR TO YOU and celebrate a new season for you....teeeeehheeeee! Bisous, Anita
