ON A COLD SATURDAY NIGHT

Yes, I'm knitting again. I've given up on the socks and am going for something a little more achievable (for me anyway). I will show you when they are finished.
Daniel took these photos for me, he loves using my camera.


Heidi is getting big, but is still a naughty little puppy, yet so darn cute.

WONKY TOWN IS COMPLETE

The logistics of putting this together was, well interesting to say the least. And boy did I have fun quilting my wonky houses in a freestyle pebble pattern.
This hanging will be at our front door in the hallway, there needs to be some brightness out there.
Janey worked beautifully and made the job so easy.

Thank you to Lisa for her inspiration for this quilt.

DISAPPEARING 9 PATCH - TOP DONE



I just wanted to share because I LOVE IT!!!!! I can't wait to quilt it, I haven't decided how I will do it yet.
I did order fabrics from USA to do the backs of 2 more quilt tops that are patiently sitting and waiting in the cupboard.

Don't fall over with shock but I actually did something creative that did not involve sewing.
These are backgrounds for my art journal to be completed when I feel like it. This sudden urge to make a mess may also mean that poor Wendy and Lisa will finally get their cj pages.

*bumped* Madeit Update

Hi everyone just letting you know that I have updated my Madeit store, just click on the Madeit badge to the right to have a look.

MMMMMMMM..........

Okay so that's it, I will not be buying anymore fabric online. I just can't do it, I can't afford it and my stash is looking pretty good I must say. I'm not sure how long I will be able to hold out but seriously, I need to stop spending.
So here is my last splurge for a while.




Pretty aren't they?

JANEY IS AMAZING

How did I ever do without you? You have made my life so much easier.
I used to enjoy quilting but frustration always set in especially the last couple of years as poor Jenny was just getting tired.
Now I LOVE quilting, the acu-feed system on this machine is just amazing as are the scissors and so much more.
I started this cot quilt first thing this morning and had it quilted in a couple of hours. There are some wonky lines but I can't really blame Janey for that now can I.

This quilt will be put into my Madeit shop when the weather improves and I can get some decent shots.




Thanks for looking :)

BECAUSE I HAVE A NAME FOR EVERYTHING

Little Jenny please meet your big, beautiful sister Janey.

Isn't she gorgeous? There is a free standing table to put Janey on, but that won't be here for another 2 weeks.
I'm off to play!!!!

I HAVE NOTHING :(

Nothing to report on my new Janome 6600P turning up, nothing.
It seems that it is missing somewhere in freight-land and could be anywhere in Australia.
My wonderful husband who deals a lot in freight every day working for a truck business says it's more than likely sitting somewhere in Adelaide as most parcels that go missing from the east coast to here end up there. Just a leisurely 5 hours away!
So there goes my weekend of learning about my new baby and I could have been doing it kid free just to make matters worse.

So here's to Monday. Lets hope she's made her way down to me then.

Have a wonderful weekend

GET OFF THE COMPUTER!!!!

I tell myself every day. Stop looking at all the gorgeous fabrics and talented people that create with them.
My telling off doesn't seem to working all that well and since my stash is rather depleated I have been indulging just a little.
Look what came for me today.
Yummy fabrics from The Sometimes Crafter and Giddy 4 Paisley

On to some very exciting news, my new baby arrives tomorrow!!!! I won't be sleeping tonight, I'll be too busy thinking about all the wonderful projects I will be making.

...edited...
Well I got off the computer and spent the day cutting up small scraps into 4" x 1 1/2" pieces, hundreds of them!!!! Time to make some stacked coin quilts I think.

MULTIPLYING




Soon I'll have a whole street, maybe a small town!

I probably won't be around much for the rest of the week, I'm working extra at the shop and I'm trying to organise a garage sale for all of my craft supplies I no longer have a use for to try and make room in my cozy caravan and to help finance my new sewing machine. So if you happen to live in or around Mt Gambier, feel free to come on up and see what I've got to sell.
I had no idea I had so much stuff :)
