Better late than never....

Stitches and craft buys

From The Red Thread

Yardage Design

Craft Shmaft, Two little Banshees and Anette Eriksson

And then I went crazy at Ric Rac

Have already finished a couple of things and have some more ready to go once i get a spare moment.

Boti is missing her friend (DJ took him to work with him!). I caught her on the computer trying to work out how to email him to come and visit so they can get a picture together!  

Edit: Sorry about sideways photos, are having a lot of trouble trying to get them to load the right way. Something to do with my Canon camera?

Kaffe Love...

Anyone else read that Kaffe Fassett is coming to Australia next Febuary?! So excited i just had to share. No more infomation other than to contact Amitie or Ballarat Patchwork for details.

Ric Rac at Stitches and Craft

Had a wonderful time today at Stitches and Craft. Bought loads of patterns (which I've forgotten to take a pic of for you), and had a fantastic time hanging out with Jodie from Ric Rac (and her daughter).

Jodie had done a wonderful job of her stalland I know you all would love to go on a virtual tour of it!

 

So busy you can't even see Jodie chatting away (or networking, as I like to put it!)

A cart full of monsters. I opened one and fell in LOVE. So she had to come home with me!

Pictures of the 'kids' up on the wall.

Love this clothes line. I wish I could have taken home all the 'bots!

These three were up to no good. They kept stealing all Jodie's food!

These five are sleeping over at Stitches and Craft all week.

Ps. If you see Jodie, please fed her. She was getting pretty desperate around lunchtime today!

A Couple of Finishes

My very first project from the new Tilda book. Based on this bag.

I think this may be coming with me to Stitches and Craft on Wednesday and Friday. Yes, I have decided to do it over two days, althought the second day I am taking my mother. I can't wait to go shopping! 

Also have finished this little pillow.

Both of these finishes are now living at the store, but I can't wait to bring the pillow home and put it on my bed.

Had my Lactulose test today and all went well, so back on Wednesday to have my Lactose test. Also back to the bland food as well! No dairy, most vegetables and fruit, no fibre foods! Lunch yesterday was plain rice with plain chicken rice and potatoes for dinner, so can't wait until all this testing is over.

Please let me know if you will be at the Show as well! 

Off now to sewing....

Giveaway Winner (Finally)

I'm very sorry for the late post. We went to Phillip Island for the long weekend and I could not get enough 3G reception to blog from the iphone. Was sitting upstairs right next to the window trying my little heart out (in the dark for some reason!) to get it to load, with no success :( 

So finally, the winner is Polka Dot Daze! 

Could you please email me your details and more importantly which prize you would like! Thank you to everyone for entering. I'm sorry I didn't not reply to all of your comments, have been a little unwell. Think I may be lactose intorelent, so are going for the tests next week but in the meantime are being very careful with what I eat! Had a couple of bites of DJ's Chicken Kiev last night and ended up in bed sick less than half a hour later. Not very fun!

Have finished a couple things over the last week, but the all ended up in the shop before silly me took pictures of them. Hopefully take some today and post them later tonight. 

Off to wait for the postie to arrive. Silly volanco, don't you know I need my Kaffe book!

An 'almost' Finished

 

Tilda Bear from So Sunny Homestyle. About to make herself at home on my bed.

And as promised a couple of pics of my Birthday presents....

Gorgeous ring from Nicole.

Cuckoo 2-tiered cake stand (Wedgewood!) from my brother, two tickets to the Melbourne Zoo from my sister.

And he took the hint! This gorgeous book is in the mail on it's way (hopefully) to Me! Also got Peter Alexander scarf (with pockets "to put your craft stuff in" instead of having needles pinned all over me!), and two gorgeous bottle of wine to add to my collection. (My collection of wine really need a post of it's own!).

Don't forget to comment on my giveaway, hopefully back sometime tomorrow to let you know who has won!
