I am really enjoying crocheting. I did the first couple of lessons from crafty daisies crochet school but then got sick of making squares. I really wanted to make something.

My first attempt at stitching was so woeful (remember the freaky looking orange), I was determined to give it another try. I went away for the weekend with family and it was the perfect opportunity to sit in the sun and stitch.

Late last month I was lucky enough to spend a whole weekend with my very good friend Sheridan and my little boy. We flew separately to Melbourne and met up for a craft shop hop and craft show spending splurge. It was busy and hectic but absolutely worth it!!!
I bought lots of beautiful fabric [...]

The last couple of weeks I have been going through my project box that has all my WIP’s and UFO’s. I am at the point where I have done all of the good things and I am left with the stuff that I am not fussed on. A couple of the projects [...]
