Day 7

Playing along with Pip and Loobylu

What's Hot
-Finishing things when you say you will. I finished 2 things this week that I said I would, on the day I said I would. Hot, right?
-Trying new things and having them work! I tried this today http://pinkpicketfence.typepad.com/pink_picket_fence/2009/04/her-tulle-skirt-the-new-fave.html and it worked.
Brownies from Dominos- way hot!

What's Not
- The cost of postage these days! I paid $18.50 on Monday to have something express posted and it still isn't there. :(
- Using white cotton on purple and thinking it would be ok. It's not.
- Pizza from Dominos. Could there be any less topping?
-The weather at the moment. Bring on the sun! Please!

Day 6

Remember the Christmas fabric from yesterday? Today I made some yo-yos for a couple of things I'm working on. I hate cutting into new fabric. I know there's no point just staring at it, it's just the first cut you know?

I found this gorgeous ducky fabric at my local quilt store. There was only a fat eighth but enough for a bib! Stay tuned...

Day 5

Well, I spent the weekend making something very important that I will show you when it reaches it's destination. Hopefully by the end of the week.
In the meantime check out this gorgeous Christmas fabric that I'm going to cut into tomorrow and start to make some things with. Not long to go!!

Day 4

I think if I had a better sewing machine I'd really enjoy free motion quilting. I have a very basic sewing machine that my Mum bought for me a few Christmas' ago and it is fabulous for quick easy projects. For quilting, not so much!

So, of course I need to play while doing it. Can you see the heart?

Day 3


Doesn't this just piss you off?

I had the teeniest bit left to sew and ran out of bobbin thread!

Day 2

Thank Goodness it's Friday! Fridays are the busiest day for me, even though it's school holidays, I still have 3 clients. Which means way too many hours at work :P
Anyway, looks like most of you would rather have a surprise so, a surprise it is! I may show you a sneak peek, I may not. All part of the fun! If you haven't entered the giveaway, go here

Sorry this is a short post, my brain is just not up to much more than that. It's supposed to be a nice weekend here so I hope to bring you more lovely blog posts. Maybe I can get some fresh air and sunshine and clear the winter fog from my head.
Here's a pic of a WIP. Levi's quilt!

Day1

Very imaginative title huh?


I've been thinking about the giveaway and I think I might grab a bag or make one and randomly put things in as the month progresses. Sounds good, huh? Shall I show you what is going in or make it a surprise?

So, leave a comment on THIS post and on the 31st I will draw a name, ok?


Just cos I don't want this to be the 3rd post without pics, here is a bib and burp cloth I made for a certain little man who's due soon.
