Busy doing nothing

Well,  this week has just flown over...
On Monday I went to ikea in Malaga and managed to get some new covers for the two Ektorp sofas we have in the lounge.
Fortunately the colour I wanted was in stock so I was very happy.
Dave and I put them on the sofas and I used the steam cleaner to get the wrinkles out on Tuesday.
I made a pattern fot the front of the arms and made some covers from some fat quarters, which are all odd.
They also have pockets in so Dave can store the remote controls for the telly.
I am pleased with the results

Painting and decorating

I am unfortunately still waiting to hear what is happening to my samsung galaxy s2 phone which has gone to the technical department of samsung in madrid, hence my lack of posts recently..
Anyway I have been painting in oils for a change, and did this harbour scene..
Yesterday I enjoyed my trip to Malaga with a friend where I bought a couple of new settee covers.
I will have to make some new armrest covers and cushion covers as the ones I have do not match the new colour scheme.

Little quilted bags

We had been given a bag kit in our patchwork class here in Còmpeta. So I began to cut out the material on Tuesday. The ladies discussed going on a mini cruise from Malaga to Barcelona, staying on board for a couple of nights, and staying in an hotel for the final night. As the trip fell on Dave's birthday, I waited until I had spoken to him before agreeing to go.. but am now looking forward to the trip at the end of April.
Because I fancied a change from knitting yesterday, I decided to continue with the bag.
The instructions were in japanese, with a bit of english thrown in, but thanks to the very clear diagrams, I managed to finish the rabbit bag first, which looked very cute.
Because I had been economical in cutting out, I had enough material to make the outsides of another bag. My friend Magny had shown me similar bags with cats and dogs on the front, and I made a dog ( smaller ears) adding a bone instead of the carrot.
Here is a picture of them both.
