Lucky Lucky Lucky

I’m a lucky girl. On Thursday night I entered my Angel Story quilt into my local Spotlight store quilting competition. I got a phone call yesterday to say that I had won first prize. I went and collected my prize today. It was a lot bigger than I had imagined. I won a new Sewing bag, 30 fat quarters, cutting matt and cutter, thread, pin cushions, bag to store fat quarters in, teddy bear, quilting book, basting spray, needles and enough batting to make a queens size quilt.

Busy Weekend and lucky again

I spent the weekend making an adult size wonder suit for my sister’s boyfriend. I must admit I did have it on a few times while making the suit and it was lovely and warm. Just what you need on a cold winters day. I had enough material left to make Grady a blanket. Its double sided with his name on one side and a car on the other. It fits really well in his pram for when we go out for walks.

I recently received a email from Amanda Brooke letting me know that i had won, one of her patterns. I’m looking forward to getting it in the post and making a start on it. I have been really lucky with her blog this is the second time i have won a prize. The first time i won a necklace, bracelet, candles and some melts. I wear the jewellery all the time, and the candle and melts smell lovely in my crafty room. She has a store on esty you should pop over and have a look.

Happy stitching

Crafty stuff

Here are a few photos of what I have been making lately. The first is a bag that was in last months homespun for charlotte. It’s really soft. It came really handy the other night when we were at a party. Charlotte needed a rest so we put her coat in it and she lay down on her soft bag,
The second is a quilt i bought for myself a few months ago from fairies in my garden. It needs a good iron, but i really like the colours.

News on my little ones. Grady took his first steps the other day; he was only 9 1/2 months old. Today Charlotte learnt to use the computer mouse, she loves playing wiggles games online. George (dog) has been behaving her self and Koby (dog) is happy as long as he gets a walk and the fire is on. But he did singe his hair the other day from getting to close to the fire he loves it!!

Missing pumpkins

The other day I harvested my pumpkins and put the on the patio. Yesterday Charlotte came inside telling me she had been playing with big balls. I went out the back to find that all my pumpkins have big cracks in them.

Then this morning i noticed that two of them were missing. I found one in the back yard and the other, well I only found a little bit of skin. George has eaten my pumpkin. GRRR. Now I have to work out what to do with my other pumpkins. Can you freeze them??


On the crafty side of things, I haven’t had a lot of time to do much but here is a photograph of Charlotte’s room. I’m thinking that the butterfly that is designed by Melly and Me would look great in her room. I made the Doona cover and pillow for her and painted the Alphabet around her walls. My Grandmother did the amazing cross stitch for her.
