In a cruel twist of fate my three children got to stay at home today because of the teachers strike, whilst I had to be at school at 9am to do some P&C stuff. They thought it was very funny. They had a lovely morning sleeping in and watching movies - not fair.
I made up for it this afternoon by finishing off the stitchery for my zipper bag,

And I traced out two more Bird of Happiness purses. I found some more spring strips the right size (and price) at Avonleigh Country Quilting. Not sure when I'll stitch them but the preparation is fun too.

Then it was afternoon tea time, so we made brownies. I don't make this recipe too often as it has way too much sugar in it, but it is loved nonetheless. Yum.

Off to play with some little squares for my zipper bag.
