~OPAM (One Project A Month)......January

After umming and wondering if I would join OPAM again for another year I finally decided yes I will

I still have a few projects left that have been stitched and need finishing

Why oh why does it take so long to get 'round to it

I think I know the answer to that

In my case I love to start projects

We had our little Grandie here along with her brother for a week

She is keen on being a Designer of Fashion for Pop.........and she has been backstage she tells me!!!

I bought her some fabric pens and she chose the colours above for a pouch for her Pens

While she was here she designed a bag and a skirt!!!

Finished little case with her name on it

Here she is getting out a tape measure and chalk that her Mum popped into my Christmas stocking

So nice that these were used on a project for her

Looking at felts......her favourite colour is pink

Next up she chose a Pin Cushion for me to make

Here we drew out the flower so I could see what colours she wanted to use

Yep, you guessed it......pink had to be in it

And here is Lidija presenting her little Pin Cushion

Pattern by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched

Ane here they are together

While I was at it I thought I would make up another 3 in her chosen colours

I call them Lidi's Pin Cushions

A litte Needlecase here and another Pin Cushion

This pattern by Marg Low purchase in Sydney and started back in 2012 at my First Blog Meet

It's only been sitting there for about 3 years waiting for a finish

And while the going was good I added 3 little bags

Fabric by Anni Downs

So total for the month is 5 Pin Cushions

        1 Needlebook and 1 Pen Pouch

3 Little Bags making a total of 10

Boy, that's a record for me!!!

Thank you so much Sweet Peg and Kris for hosting OPAM again for another year

Lets see what I can do next month!!!

Have a great week......Dzintra
