Relief....

It was a relief to awaken to rain on the roof this morning. Of course we need heaps more to do any real good, but it sure did sound nice, and will hopefully make for a more pleasant day today. A relief from the scorching heat we have been enduring.


SSCS09 projects completed and on their way. Enjoy the surprise partner!

Here's those girls again, a bit bigger now.

Like Pretty Maids all in a Row.....

Two weeks have passed since we had our weekend of fun, friends and fabric. Photographed above is the lovely hand dyed fabrics after washing, and after ironing. We were all tremendously thrilled by the beautiful colours and patterns we arrived at. We also worked on "Strips and Curves", but more on that another day. Haven't gotten back to it since then, as I have been busy with finishing my SSCS, and just life in general......But we did have a wonderful weekend, completed with a glass of wine.

Oh, and my stitchers angel gift arrived, but I have forgotten to photograph it too.

Sugar Glider....

I can't believe that so much time has gone by since last post. I have been busy, busy with book work and some sewing too. Am almost ready to send off my Stitcher's Angel gifts, and then it will be on to finishing the SSCS2 ones too.

I have been doing some fabric shopping too. Do you know Jane?? She is a fellow blogger in America who's blog I follow. And when Jane advertised a sale, I just had to go for a look. I had a wonderful time choosing fabrics, and Jane was so helpful in making sure I could make the most of my posting dollar. I thoroughly recommend you go for a look. I will show off my lovelies when they arrive.

This wee fellow is a sugar glider. He is a tiny member of the possum family. DH came across him while fencing on our property.

Signs of Spring....

The signs of spring are springing up all over..... .......the flowers

.......the baby willy wag tails hatched just outside our door

.......the calves

......and here's those girls again!

Send in the clowns......

Here's a photo of my younger two all dressed up for the school social last night. The theme was clowns. They had a fun time, and Rachel even won a choccy for one of the two best dressed!

CRAFT BOOKS....

Ebay is somewhere that most of us visit on occassion, sniffing out that bargain or two. I have just finished listing 21 books for my Mum which she no longer has room for in her life or cupboard. She was an avid card maker until my Dad passed away and no longer has the desire to partake this crafting hobby that they shared.

These are just two of the 21. Click on the link and pop on by for a look. There might just be something there you have been looking for.

Angel Project no. 1.....

Angel project number 1 is complete, now for number 2. I have used Tozz's angel on my heart for the pocket design on this one, I thought it so appropriate. I doubt my angel partner will even be visiting, given the number of angels around the world, so I thought it safe showing it off. I have been visiting my partner's blog, and sending her sneaky emails too. Also preparations on the go for the sscs09. Busy, busy.....

........and another puppy photo too.
