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.

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.

New Additions......

Here's the cute little additions to our family. Meet Speck (short for Speckles) on the left and Sam, on the right looking down. They are now 7 weeks old and have successfully added some fun and excitement to our lives. What a shame they have to grow up though!
On the stitching front. First angel project is complete........we are being spoilt with beautiful projects to choose from. Have also received my SSCS09 partner and was surprised to be designated someone with whom I have had previous contact. Doesn't often happen in this big wide world of bloggers. I will enjoy being able to send off a gift to this particular blogger.
Till next time.....

Another Annie.....


After the fun I had with making and receiving my annies, Rachel decided to make one for a friend's birthday. She was a little late with the gift, but as they say, good things come to those who wait.
So, here she is. And the only thing I really helped a little more with, was the hair. The rest, Rachel achieved by herself, following my instructions. Well done Rachel! School work permitting, I am sure there will be more escapades into Mum's scrap bag.
