I have a huge problem.
A very good friend has asked me to make her a quilt. I won’t just make a queen size quilt for anyone, but she is a dear friend and I adore the idea of her wanting something I have made.
I struggled for a long time to decide on fabrics and patterns. [...]

I’m back

I took the kids on a road trip and thought I would bore you with some photos.
I had a great time and it was nice just to hang out with the kids away from home, with not so many rules. We split the trip into smaller chunks and only drove about 4 hours each day.
We [...]
Crafty iphone

I love my iPhone. I am addicted and I pretty much use it for everything.
I wanted to share some of my favourite crafty apps (applications).
Knitting apps that I love and use are stitch minder and knit gauge.
Stitch minder is a little more than basic row counter. It allows you have simultanous counters like total [...]

Another time consumer for me recently was redecorating my bedroom. I made sure that I did it before my hubby came home a) as a surprise and b) it gave me full control of how much I spent and what I did.
It didn’t take much to make it look good.
a new coast of paint on [...]

I posted my block picutres to flickr a little while ago.
I use flickr but I don’t really get involved the group discussions much. It is just one of those things that I have had to say no to, to reduce my online time. I have cut back on ravelry too.
Anyway here are the [...]
thankyou Mr Woolworths

Just for buying some Chocolate I won a new quilting bed for my sewing machine. Well … sort of.
I won a $100 woolworths gift card for entering a Cadbury promotion that I was totally unaware of.
So, I figure I put the $100 towards my next weekly grocery shop. Then that gives me $100 [...]
my girl … glasses!!

My little girl turned 4 not so long ago. Turning 4 means a visit to the GP for a check up and some more immunisations. The needles went fine and the drama wasn’t from the needle itself but having to wear band-aids – she hates them.
The other problem of the morning was that she [...]
sheets galore

My very large package of vintage sheet fat quarters arrived this week. They are just fantastic.
Chaletgirl did a fantastic job of organising and sorting. I also know that she went above and beyond what was required in organsing this swap. I am sure that every single person that was involved appreciates it. [...]

LAST MONTH ….my kids had their birthdays.
They turned two and four within a week of each other. We had a joint celebration.
It was also a farewell to my husband who is away for work for a few months.
My little girl loves dressing up. Most days she is a fairy or a princess and [...]
my day at craftfest
Posted in fabric, online shops, other stuff on 30, March 2009 | 2 Comments »
Last Friday my little girl wanted to go to Movie World with just her daddy. So I bonded with my son at craftfest for a couple of hours on the Gold Coast.
I ran into Susie (yarnplanner) there, though I am not surprised I was lucky to have seen her.
I didn’t buy much, I wasn’t [...]
