Has anyone a pattern for a Banded Bag for storage or know where I can get one, please, like this photo

I have so many fabrics from my quilting days so I think this would be the perfect solution to using up all those
PS: not good at pattern making Im afraid!

Fairy Garden

Oh I forgot to show you the garden I made over Christmas
My Daughter has been looking at all the wonderful goodies you guys can buy in the states for these gardens and she wants to make one after thebig snow over there I thought hang on I have a pot somewhere here I will make one so off I went to the nursery, these plants are not cheap though I think I paid over $5 for 1.
 I thought it wouldn't be very expensive, so small,so I picked them out and fronted the check out! I was a bit shocked when she told me the price......Too Late!!!! had to bite the bullet and take them as there was a huge line up there waiting! what can ya do! lol Shame!!! Things I get myself into lol

So anyway its cute!  the little house is tin and has a candle inside, a battery one that is!

Time Flys

Hi Everyone!    Well I haven't had time to come on and check out whats going on I love the tennis and absolutely have to watch the Australian Open, so a load of time has gone and due to my eyes playing up at night,I'm not getting a lot done, today I decided to try to get this table runner at least the top finished but NO! I haven't as yet!

I have so many projects here to finish!

Here are some of my projects in this basket, yes, all sewing in some form or another lol
I have my chair covered up due to my cat who looses vast amounts of hair and covers my lovely red chair so there's nothing else for it but to cover it with an old sheet

And here is my desk right now I actually hate a lot of mess when Im working so whats up with this desk then!!! lol 
I purchased this kit some time ago, I hate to say it has to be over 15 years, before I came here
Gosh!!! so i thought I had better get this done, I wasn't happy with the actual designs on the pattern so I have to make a few changes here and there, oops I see I have sewn that up wrong Arrggghhhh!!!!
they have to be opposites!!!
At the moment I am stitching these silly little things! they are very frustrating as I cant get the circles the same I also have to make a few leaves that's going to be tricky, wish I didn't start that now!

I did mark them but my eyes! that's what I am blaming anyway! lol
