FNSI .... A Secret Project .....

For FNSI (hosted by Bobbie and Heidi) I worked on my OASS (Once A Season Swap)

- shhhhh... it's a secret....

the one I am making has lots of different things in it....

some writing

 some stitchery

 some applique...

some wool felt 

some piecing

some matching points

some quilting

some binding

a label...... (sorry a piece of sticky label fell on it)

It's not quite finished so I can't show you what it is!!!

I really don't like to swear... I had to do a bit of the 'M' word  .....

Hubz asked me in the nicest of way to fix his trousers for him.....


after which I needed a snack.... just to keep up my energy.........  coffee and walnut cake... my all time favourite 


.... I used this recipe....

Righto, Gotto Go.... some binding to finish off.... then I want to go visiting blogs and see what else was made...

I know my name isn't on the swap but am looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Meanwhile, my name IS on that cake! I have all the ingredients except the caster(superfine) sugar, so will pick that up tomorrow when in town. Then, let the baking begin!

I had an M job too last week, funny how we can sew buttons on owls and such . but it is bothersome to sew a button on a shirt.
I will await the secret sewing with anticipation.

Allie said...

Darn those sticky labels, they just get on everything, don't they? *G* That project looks amazing, sweetie, can't wait to see it! Oh ugh the "M" word....*shudder*

Sunnybec said...

Interesting.. oh I hate secrets, you are such a tease....by the way too much walnut cake will make you fat so I see it as my duty to take some off you :) Hugs

Secret stitching is the most fun type of stitching! The 'm' word is a swear word at my house too, what does he mean I love using my sewing machine? - not on that sort of sewing!!

Teresa said...

Talk about sneaky... I'm so tired just looking at all your little teasing photos... there's so much in it!!! Looks amazing.. love your snack too... he he..

Wendy said...

Those sneaky peeks look great, so does that cake - yum!
