Cactus

My Mum has a heap of cactus plants and at this time of the year they are stunning!
I just wanted to share a few photos with you.












And the perfume? Amazing!!!
Do you guys have any cactus plants? We have a couple but ours don't even have any buds!
I, my friends, have a black thumb for sure!!!

The early bird catches the .....quilt top?

You all know that my Dad spoils me rotten right?
Well, a month or two ago when I went to visit him and my Mum he handed me a yellow envelope.
Guess what was inside???



A heap of charm packs. Not just any charm packs, these were Cosmo Cricket charm packs! They were a mix of Early Bird and Tailor Made.
How awesome is that for a pressie!?!
Yep, my Dad not only thought to get me fabric as a surprise gift but searched for one of my fav designers!!! Isn't he the bestest!!!
Why am I talking about these charms in the past tense?
They have now become a quilt top. A HUGE quilt top that I can't wait to quilt and cuddle.



Now I'll add Nick to the pic for a size reference.






( Nick is 44" tall)
I can't wait to get this one finished!!!
Thank you Dad!!!

Best parcel ever!

Look what the postie handed over today!!!



Yep, a whole heap of "old" Tula, some Mendocino, some Summer in the City and a charm pack of Wee Play!!
I could've kissed him!
I am loving just looking at them at the moment, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to undo those ribbons!


How bout you? Do you hold onto bundles and precuts cause they're too pretty?
A Big Thank You to my Dad for helping with this! Love you Dad!

What did you week look like last week?
Mine was pretty ace.
It looked kinda like this



Nearly finished a new dress. Just gotta do the hem and a few tweaks. Then there will be more pics to show.





I painted the chrome on this little mini rod for a very cute little fella.


Helped my Spunky fella rub back and polish his car ( gosh it's a big car!)



Then we decided to take it for a drive. Show it some sights.


Saturday morning I had a lovely morning with some friendly rats ( our sewing group) where I picked up my order of owls. Yes folks, that there are Full Moon Forest owls!! I am still doing a happy dance over that one!


This is what happens when you leave a boy and his Dad in the shed on their own! In case you can't guess, It's a spaceship
Very cute!!!
What's happening in your part of the world?

New family member

Our family is kinda large. Almost but not quite Brady Bunch status. Anyway, when the opportunity arose to add another member to our family, how could I say no?


Everyone, meet Mable. Mable meet everyone.
I am so excited!
She is going to be perfect with helping out with all of my dodgy dress sewing adventures!
Oh the fun we will have!
I don't have to clean up after her or cook for her. ( although, a couple of people have mentioned that she needs to put on a bit of weight first!)
Apparently, you have to adjust her to fit your measurements. Your measurements don't instantly adjust to fit her! Spewin!!
Anyway, I think she will be a bit of a super hero to me!

Slack? Me??? Maybe....

Apparently, being slack isn't a good enough excuse to not blog anymore! (thanks Linda!)
I can now do it from my phone so maybe I will be a tad bit more regular now. Or maybe not
So where do I begin...


I went to The Daylesford craft experience and had an awesome time!!! I can highly recommend it!! I think I came home with a bit of a girl crush on Kristen Doran (above). Her fabrics and patterns are amazing!
I also came home with a heap of goodies!! Yay!!
I reckon my "to do" list doubled after that day! So many new patterns and kits to get into and guess what!?! I haven't started any of them....yet!
Now, you are probably all still in a state of shock that I have actually blogged so I'll let you have a rest. I want to say a great big thank you to everyone who sent me lovely emails to check that I was ok! You all rock! I still have a couple to reply to, sorry!!!
