Here Comes the Sun - Shine On Me.

Spring has arrived in the form of this:

metres of rainbow bunting 

in the most gorgeous fabrics ever made

and a sunny little pack of these

I am totally in love with this bunting.

It is even more gorgeous than the picture.
To thank those involved I have to use my floweriest language:

Thank you to the bestest, cleverest, winter-banishing crafter that ever there was

Thank you too, to the incomparable and radiant Here Comes the Sun Swap Organiser

Now to plant those glorious sunflower seeds.

My (very late...or possibly very early) Creative Space

Wanting to be creative.

Lacking the time.

Still working 4 days a week. Uggh.

Waiting for my colleague, who broke her arm to get back to work. (Still she's worse off than me - she can't do anything with a full arm cast on).

Add to mix - the MATH has gone to New Zealand.

For 8 days.

Skiing.

I'm owed BIG TIME.

Gotta put my thinking cap on to work out PAYBACK.

Prints Charming  Spring Sale in Sydney next week for starters.

With a rather LARGE budget.

I'm part of a little sunshine swap going on, so this is what's being made...I'm not showing all of it in case it's for you!

And it wants to be mailed tomorrow...eeeekkkkkk...
For more creative spaces and possibly less whingeing, head on over here .
Oh and you'll need to take a cup of tea and a packed lunch, as there are over 180 links to visit.

Nothing like a deadline...

No there is nothing like a deadline to help me focus...

Here is the completed scarf for the birthday girl's party  tonight (notice the all important word 'completed').
Clare and I met when we were 18 and shared a flat in our last year of Uni - first time out of home for both of us. It's amazing to think back on those years and realise just how long ago it is...
She didn't want any presents, but I couldn't pass up the chance to make her something special, and especially in these colours, which have her name written all over them!

I'm part of Vic's brilliant Here Comes the Sun swap and have so many ideas for things I have already cut out 3 potential projects...mmm having to choose may be a problem...and I did order some fabric that screamed 'Springtime' at me...all by September 1.

And of course with the 100 Posts/1 year of Blogging giveaway (closing at midnight Sunday - if you want to enter), I have been making a few crochet brooches and I am adding a quilted/sewn surprise to the mix as well...which had better get finished in time to send off to the lucky winner...


So there are the deadlines...I'm off to find some focus...
