Boy Its Hot!!!

Its another stinker here today. It is supposed to get over 40 degrees - yuk!!! I have been lucky enough to finish work early today so I am enjoying some quiet time in the air conditioning until it is time for the kids to get home. I will be taking them to the pool this afternoon to cool off before heading off to touch footy - think I may be doing that in the wrong order.
I have been doing my very best to get some chrissy stitching done. This is what I have achieved
Not sure if this is going to be a table runner or a cushion but it will be a xmas gift for my Aunt.
These are tissue packet covers - you know the soft travel packs that you can buy. I am planning to pop one of these in with everyones present so I will have to make quite a lot - have made 4 so far. They are really quick to make - takes about 10 minutes and uses very little fabric. A great way to use up all those scraps.

This was supposed to be a gift for someone but I am not entirely happy with the way it has turned out so will keep it for myself.

I also finally finished my sweet mums cushion. I am very happy with the way it has turned out - just love Sally Giblin designs - very quick and easy and I only needed to purchase a small amount of fabric for the back - the rest was leftovers from another cushion that I made so I am sticking to my fabric diet - well so far anyway.
Am off now to work on my Aunts gift and to have a cold drink. Hope everyone out there is surviving this hot weather.
Chat soon

It sounds funny reading about it being hot in November. It is cold here in the U.S. in Georgia. I LOVE that pillow. Where did you get that pattern if you don't mind me asking?
