About Me

Sydney, Australia
I am a stay at home mum to 2 princesses, wife to a gorgeous Irishman and proud owner of an adorable long haired German Shepherd. I would craft and read the days away if the responsibilities of life did not get in the way! In the mean time I take time, as time allows, to indulge in the things I love!

Wonderful weekend

I just spent a lovely weekend with 6 of my crafty friends coming to visit from all over the place - Victoria, Queensland and northern NSW along with another Sydney sider!

We had so much fun - chatting, laughing, crafting, dancing, drinking. We even left the house and went to visit Calico and Ivy, had lunch on the water at Drummoyne and stopped in at Material Obsession.

In between all the chat, I worked on my Pies and Tarts, cut the rest of the Swoon blocks and did actually finish an embroidery from the Prints Charming embroidery workshop that I did. The kit was intended as a cushion but I have decided to make it in a wall hanging for my sewing room. Love the Prints Charming panels I have to say....

Not going great guns with the 12 WIPS in 2012, but it has certainly gotten quilting back on my radar!!

I'm popping in from Rachel's Handstitching course. I work about 5min walk from Calico and Ivy and I am constantly tempted just to wander down if I have a quieter lunch break - very dangerous!!! I also have a soft spot for Prince Charming - I miss their little studio/shop. Looking forward to seeing what you create for the course
