PS It Arrived

SOme little birdies must have been listening to me whinging as joyously my Homespun has arrived quite ear;y this month got it on MOnday - I am way too busy to blog at the moment _ I am reading Twilight (done) and started New Moon (half done). Sorry and all but I have to get in touch with my angsty teenage self.


Cheers

Sunny Strathalbyn

Spent the day in Sunny Strathalbyn Smocking and Sipping Coffee at Kirkbride Quilts. Delightful shop and beautiful coffee and cakes. Only bought some threads (trying to be good) but can see my fortnightly craft day getting expensive if we meet there for coffee again! The weather is supposed to change tonight (which might see the end of my Sunny series of blogs) hopefully it will be a little cooler -we are all hot and sweaty tonight and want a long cold drink -sorry for the lack of photos. Kirkbride quilts had some lovely samples but I feel bad to take photos in case they think I am stealing ideas. Pop over to have a visit -you can eat cake while you think about whether you reallly need more fabric ( or you can buy fabric while you think about whether you need cake!).

Cheers

{Perfect Sundays}

Lunch shared to celebrate Granny's birthday - playing in the park {working on hanstands and cartwheels}. A quick walk up to the first Waterfall and the Giants Cave.

And look what we spotted along the way> of course she wouldn't co-operate with the camera and the lighting so it is a little hard to see but she has a baby on her back - I have never seen this before! Now all in bed ready to go back to school tomorrow. And for me well tomorrow is coffee and craft day. So I won't feel too lonely.

Sunny Saturday

Whilst I have been busy checking out The New City Kids Market and The Bowerbird Bazaar the children have been with Daddy. Sir TP has been teaching Little Miss B how to use Starter Stiles and under instruction from Me Daddy and the kids have made Pizza Dough for homemade pizza tonight mmm. No purchases from the markets today. We are enjoying the last couple of days of the school holidays and then hopefully some normal life and some cleaning and tidying.

Cheers

Quilt Fabric Delight Purchase

Well this is what I purchased from Quilt Fabric Delight - I have longed for some pretty decorated storage boxes for ages -but well money was tight I couldnt find what I wanted. So when this opportunity came up I grabbed it. WHen you open this one up you find.....

Of course another one only a little smaller and inside that one - you guessed it some more mini suitcases. Just like a suitcase wedding cake -it just needs a little bride and groom on top! Now what to put inside them - any ideas. I'll let you have a peek inside them next post and maybe a guessing game. PS I liked these so much that even though I didnt plan it I bought a second set -pink with white dots for Miss B's bedroom - she has put her craft stuff in there already. Cheers for now.

A very Busy Day

Today started in a mad rush with adrive down to Brighton to pick up something From my favourite local online Quilt shop Quilt Fabric Delight. Oh what a delight - to see all those fabrics -lucky for hubby the kids were in the car and I wouldnt do that to Sarah - have two rowdy garden trained children but I had a quick sneak peak at my next bagaholic bag and saw some must haves lying around. Then it was off to IKEA for a few more buys and then a quick lunch at SUBWAY before a family bowling challenge. What a hoot My family versus my si's family a very close game indeed. There were highs (strikes obtained by Sis, Niece and I) often quickly followed by lows(two gutter balls immediately after the strike!!). But the family from Lavender Green came home the winners with Little Miss B the star (that ramp must have been the key!!)

Tomorrow I will Post my purchase from QFD and I think it will be the start of a little mystery - tune in tomorrow same bat time same bat channel(I've wanted to say that since I was 10)

Cheers for now.

From my Garden

We have been enjoying big vases full of these for the last couple of weeks fresh from our garden - it is such a treat to have fresh flowers. Our garden has not grown the flowers I would have liked it too as a result of the drought in Australia but our wet winter and sunny spring has at least for the short time given us a marvellous flush of Iris'. Please forgive me a little whinge here but in my blog hopping I cant help but see that people already have their October Homespun -as i only received Septembers 2 weeks ago I guess I won't be seeing mine for two weeks. As a subscriber in the city I find it soo annoying that all my friends get their magazine before me (last month I rang to complain and was told to go and buy it as it probably wasnt coming so I did which means I bought 2 magazines!!) So I am thinking of cancelling my subscription - I probably have enough magazines and projects lined up now.
