I am involved in a Valentine Cone swap with a group I am a member of. Today I finished the cone for Donna and sought out some goodies to fill it. It will be nice to receive a Valentines giftie in the mail soon.
I also felt the need to stitch an Icicle Doll... Belinda Schneider has us all hooked on these. I think this little girl shows my sombre mood today. I dont normally use the Shabby Chic type fabrics, but really enjoyed making this little girl today.
Yesterday my sister Lee treated me to a day in Melbourne at my favourite patchwork shop - Patchwork on Central Park. The fabrics were gorgeous...they have such a good range. I had to restrain myself, but did buy a few beautiful fabrics as my sister had treated me to a voucher as part of my Christmas present this year... fabulous present!!!
We then visited Rock, Paper, Scissors and I bought some new papers, embellishments and some of the Collections Arches (as I have run out!!!).
Lovely, lovely day!
Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend too.

Glad you had such a lovely quiet day today Jacky. I love your icicle doll! She is beautiful, such pretty colors. Anyone would be happy to own her! Her wings add a lovely touch.
And the Valentine's cone you made for Donna is gorgeous too. Such soft pink colors. Love the buttons too!
You are becoming quite the photographer now. Nice clear photos!
The icicle doll is really nice. I need to make some more they are fun to make. I really like the face you made and the felt is a nice touch.
I am a new visitor to your blog and I am enjoying it very much - cool Icicle doll.
