...quilt top

First top done!

Funny. I thought I'd like the other one, with the love fabric, but this is my favorite. Not sure why. Maybe it's these little guys...

 

Aren't they cute!?! And so tiny!! I didn't even know they were there until I started piecing. My sister and hubby are bird people. Canaries, peacocks and hens, white and blue, chocks, finches plus the dogs....they are dog people. They have fur kids. 

Back tomorrow with the other one xox

Happy customer's :)

Here are 2 little people enjoying their wraps that received as presents for Christmas.

Miss almost 3

Master 5

They  used the wraps in the car as they drove from Darwin to Perth!! YES!! That is some drive. There mum tells me they were a life saver...makes me warm and fuzzy :) Really nice to know that someone else thinks they are as awesome as I do. 

If you have any pictures of your kids enjoying their wraps flick me an email. Would love to see!

Best get back to the machine. These quilts aren't going to sew themselves. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with the both tops finished! xox

My Creative Space

A week already?

Last weeks cushions are almost completed! I do have one left. He will have to wait. 

Those of you that have been reading for a while may remember that I am a brides maid for my sister. Well the wedding is....welllll....really really close. Like we leave 4 weeks!?!!!! And well, I need to make the flower girl dresses. 2 of them. And well.....I also need to make a quilt.....or 2 before than too......!!!!!!!!!!!! (hopefully my sis doesn't read my blog, if you do, look away now) Good news is hubby has next week off, for ACDC, works 6 days and is then home until April! YAY!

So as you can imagine the next few creative spaces will be all about sewing for the wedding. Starting with the quilts...

These are 2 5" charm squares from retro mummy. Botany by Moda. Sewn up into groups of nine, and then will be sashed in white...

and this fat set of Amy Butler's "Love" that will be made up into this. Thinking with some of the bigger prints that I will just cut 11" squares. I was so excited when the postie came yesterday I stopped cleaning just so I could iron them lol! Fabric is from Fat Quarter Shop

So 2 weeks I'm giving myself to finish the quilts...both of them! Madness?! We'll see...

Pop over to Kirsty's for more spaces xox

shop update

 

  

This little beauty is off to the shop!

And there is loads more there. Just in time to keep those kidlets left at home entertained!

Especially if you are a lady that lunches ;) xox

Grown ups only!

When hubby and I first moved in together we were still at uni and poor. Like we went to the op shop and got free furniture poor. Shorty after we got pregnant and went from uni poor to uni with kid poor. And then we had more and more and more kids! So for a long time we didn't have time or money to play 'house' and have extras stuff around like cushions....

Now we do!

They match our couch so well!

And yes, they are for grown ups only. Mine is the brown one and hubby's in the green and orange one lol!

Thanks for all the lovely comments and support! I love getting comments and feed back on what goes on in this little space of mine. And a big "Welcome" to the new readers our there :)

Better go, a parcel just arrived from Corrie!!!!! Woohoo! Quilting here I come!!! xox

Australia Day

I love my country

We are the lucky country

And I am proud to be Australian

And, well, proud to be a Territorian

Today is a lot of thing

Different things to different people

Some feel the need to wave our flag....alot

Some go to the Big Day Out or sit around listening to the hottest 100

Some love the day off to watch the cricket or the tennis

Some have a beer and a barbie with a mate

Some hang out at the beach and walk around in thongs

And some morn a life lost, a history lost, a generation lost

Whatever you do today, enjoy you loved ones and celebrate our wonderful country. And also remember, just for a moment, what the history of today really is...

Happy Australia Day xox
