EB Dolls Swap

My recipient for the EB Doll / Ted swap was Ingrid and I made a Ted Quilt for her Mister Monster using Michael Miller retro fabrics.

Happy 5th Birthday Cate

My baby is 5. Cate had a wonderful day, waking up around 9am and saying "4 no more" :-(
Her brothers helped her open up her presents; a board game, DVD, some clothes and lots of Littlest Pet Shop. After lunch a Hungy Jacks Birthday party with her friends and then home to unwrap more pressies and wind down watching a DVD. Hello 5!
One of Cate's many presents was a Blank-let from her Aunty Helen. Just the right size to wrap a pony in. Thanks Aunty Helen, it's so cute and so so gorgeous, love Cate xx

The Humming Cat

How can I possibly sew when everytime I plug my machine in I am interupted by Muffin? Standing on my rotary mat, pushing things of the table, laying in front of the machine, swishing his tail under the foot plate...after a good 5 minutes of attention he lays on whatever I am trying to sew, I give up today, no sewing for me.

Happy 8th Birthday Oliver

Today is Oliver's 8th birthday and his Great Nan's 82nd Birthday. How lucky to be the first Grandchild born on his Great Nan's Birthday! Happy Birthday to you both xx

Hey! Come In and Save Textile Traders!

Today Helen and I decided to go to Textile Traders SUPER STORE in Booragoon. Oh my. All fabrics on the bolts (bar homespun and flanelette) were on sale for $4.99 a metre!!! Breathe. I bought 30 meters, oh my, it was delightful.

Too many fabrics to show close up photos of, (plus blogger pic issues) and it was so hard selecting my must haves. Luckily the sales on for 2 weeks so I will just have to go again!
