Hi Ladies, Thank you for popping over to my blogspot and leaving your kind comments!
I've just started painting a series of Australian birds. This is my first piece/design a Kingfisher!
Here is cute little purse I've made after visiting Vicki's at Tozz's Corner blogspot. Vicki inspired my good, crafty friend, Michelle and I to have a go at this. If you pop over to Janet from Quiltsalott blogspot, you'll find a fantastic tutorial there. Thank you Janet.
At least once a week Michelle and I get together and sew and/or paint. You see, Michelle is a very talented patchwork/sewer and I'm the Artist. We share ideas and help each other out.
Another cute patchwork purse, that I can't turn out the right way (the zipper is stuck) My 19 year old son (mechanic) couldn't get the zip to work either.
Grrhh, Do you know how impatient I am with things like this?
When I figure it out, I'll pop up a picture.
Here is another piece Michelle and I worked on together. Oh, Michelle made her own bag. This design was found in the Handmade magazine. This is my first bag with lining, handles and all. I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome.
I must add these to my OPAM list now.
Happy Mother's Day everyone!
Hugs, Anna

Love the kingfisher! I think they are the most interesting birds....especially the way they are built!
XXOO!!

That kingfisher is incredible. About four years ago I took a photo of a willy-wagtail that I love and decided to paint it. I painted the background in, and to this day there is a canvas in my cupboard with the outline of a bird on it. I've never mustered the courage to finish it.
You've got the gift Anna.

Goodness you are so busy Anna. Love all the projects. How annoying is that zipper. Can you unpick your sewing to turn it out?
Hope you have a happy Mother's Day too.

Hi Anna,
Cute painting of the Kingfisher. Well done.
Hope you have a lovely day on Sunday with your family.
Hugs, Hazel
I love kingfishers and your painting is beautiful, Anna! We have a few Sacred Kingfishers that often sit on our fence....it's hard to get a decent pic of them tho because they're quite camera-shy.
Love your finished bag and you certainly should be pleased as punch over it....great job!
Oh Anna....I love your kingfisher...he is really lovely :) And your little purses! Wow...they look fab and perhaps just unpick it a bit to grab the zip or get some tweezers perhaps? I had the same problem and managed to squeeze a pair of tweezers inside and grab and push up ...most frustrating thats for sure :)
hugs

Anna, love the kingfisher, you did a marvelous job on him. Birds are one of my favorite subjects. Sewing is not my strong suit so cannot add much here except that I like your purses.
Wauw, this bird is very great! Very good! (The birds are so much beautifuller than here in Holland!)
Have a nice weekend!
