Easter goodies

Boo hoo - Tuesday night is here, back to work tomorrow. It's been the easter of quinces and zip amnesia. Lots of quince cooking - made quince jelly and baked quince with vanilla for the big family lunch on Saturday. All yum. Zip amnesia has been a by-product of a big push to get a whole lot of stock ready for the next Art and Design market in Hobart. (Noella has kindly offered to have my stuff at her stall if she gets one as we will be in Melbourne...but if it doesn't come off I will have stock for my planned Etsy shop launch.) Made 15 vinyl-covered fabric purses although probably had to redo at least 5 of the zips after sewing them in upside down or at the wrong end ... boring boring boring. Even had to have Sue around for sewing masterclass. Also finished the baby quilt for J & K's new baby due in two weeks (using the funky chenille squares from the Stitches and Craft fair in Melbourne), made two baby teething ribbon flannels and another sun-shaped baby rattle for baby Zephyr and a tote bag. Not bad going! Beautiful autumn weather today - very golden-hued day (probably from the burn-offs in the reserve behind us). Enjoyed seeing all my family over Easter especially lots of lovely little Eliza.
