So what all is there?

Quilting magazine

One mini charm pack
Five cat buttons

    What a fun way to celebrate! Happy birthday to that precious niece and congratulations on your first year anniversary.

    Sometimes I will sew using a Japanese tutorial. I have to convert cm to in, and 'read' the diagrams, but they're pretty fun. Here's my latest http://www.studio-clip.co.jp/material/handmade/pdf/handmaid59a.pdf
    It's a zipper pouch that looks like a small Dopp kit.
