Has it always been this busy?

Boy oh boy! I'm busy!
Talk about flat out!!!
These are six of the seven cushions I sewed up today to give to teachers and aides on Friday. The school year winds up for my boys then.
Not a leisurely sewing day either - flew through them all as quick as I could!


But I have to say these two 80's prints I picked up a week or so ago from an op shop have sewn up well :)

 This is from my stash

As is this.

 I was at Spotlight yesterday and this was going for $4 a metre! Curtain fabric, nice and wide....mmmmmm yum...
I made a cushion out of this but have already gifted it to the lady who looks after the boys before and after school as we won't see her Friday, so no finished pic.
Its soooo pretty and fresh!!

And I ran out of inserts.....

Another! busy one tomorrow so I'm off to bed.
