Bag

I finally finished a bag that I started weeks ago. It didn't really take me long to do at all.
I did purchase some fabric for it weeks ago, but wasn't totally happy with it so I guess that's why I was never inspired to make it.
While I was out shopping the other day we came out of the Toy shop and found a sale table out side the fabric store. I picked up a metre of fabric for only $10. So I was determined to finish the bag with the new fabric this weekend. I love the bag so much that I think i will make it again with the old fabric. Now i just need to take it out shopping!!!

Also I was very lucking again in Melly and Me's recent competition. I won first prize. I'm looking forward to sitting down and doing the stitcherys.

Thanks for dropping by

have a great day

Happy Birthday little man

I have been rather busy in the last month. I have made two birthday presents. One I can show you, the other I gave to my friend before taking a photo. This one was for my sister its a folder to keep all her things for ballet eisteddfod's in.






Grady turned one yesterday. I spent a lot of last week cooking for his party. I made green and blue buntings (I call them backstroke flags) to hang around the house. Charlotte was very disappointed when I took them down today.

I made special cups for the kids, each cup had a picture of them and their name on it. I also did this for the lollie bags. I then turned this into a treasure hunt. The kids loved looking for their own bags.


I made his cake the night before. If you look close you can see Charlotte little fingers have been into the icing.

Now I might be able to get some more stitching done.

Happy Birthday Little man

New Pupy

My sister and her Boyfriend got a new puppy on the weekend. He is so cute and very fluffy. His name is Jackson.

Please leave me a comment i would love to know where all my readers are from

Happy Birthday

Today my dear old friend George is 11 I got her for my 21st Birthday. To celebrate Charlotte sang happy birthday to her and help her blow out the candles.

Yes she did get some cake, and so did Koby.

But she had her own celebration in my bed room, she stole the cardboard packaging foil comes in and ate it. I only no this because i found the metal strip on the floor. Lucky she didn’t eat that, but there were a few bite marks in it.

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!!
