It’s been pretty hectic at our place…. Cameron finished work a couple of weeks ago and has been busy doing jobs around the house to get ready to go to Saudi. I’ve been helping out, not doing much, but hopefully being generally supportive!

And then a few days ago I got sick… ugh…. flu I think. I haven’t felt this bad for a long time. So, please excuse me for being absent in blogland….

It has been lovely having Cameron home everyday. Since we will be apart for at least 3 months, we’ve had a few special “dates” 🙂 A few nights ago he took me out to dinner, and one Sunday afternoon we went out for a coffee in a nearby town. There was a craft shop there where I picked up a few bargains. These magazines were a dollar each:

In one of them I really LOVE these pouches:

I think I am going to have to make some. They look very similar to the Hot Potato loyalty wallets, so I think I can manage them.

I also found these:

For a zip-a-holic you may be wondering why on earth I bought these. I couldn’t help it, they were only 50c each… so my frugalness overcame my fear and I bought 20…. what was I thinking?

You will be proud of me, I already used one 🙂 I bought this pattern online:

I don’t seem to have a photo of the finished clutch – it will have to wait for another day. It was quite a good pattern with lots of pictures and step by step instructions. And I managed to put the zip in… phew!

So, that is a bit of what has been happening around here…….
