Good…

A little bit of goodness arrived in the mail, in the shape of a charm pack of domestic bliss from the lovely Adrianne at Little Bluebell.
I  want the “paint box” print – it comes in 3 colourways… I’m just a little bit greedy…
              
I’ve finally completed block #5 in the Canton Village Bloggers BOM. I started using my tiny stash of Saffron Craig fabrics, but realised I’d need more of the prints to make all 12 blocks. I found a couple of new (to me) online fabric shops that had some of the earlier ranges in stock - Earthgirl Fabrics and Wapped in Fabric – just sharing the love!

Nearly closing time for my bloggy giveaway…follow the link followers of mine!

Busy Relaxing...

Day 5 of the school holidays...

BUSY: little visitors, kiddie boot camp, washing, feeding the masses, trips to Spotlight - you get the picture, nothing really stops in the holidays - except work - and that's replaced by holiday activities!

RELAXING:
I joined in with a Block of the Month at Canton Village Quiltworks. The first block came out on September 25th - OMG it's already DONE!!!

I've cut out a bag pattern - Monica Poole and Saffron Craig - a match surely made in heaven!

Putting together a paper pieced project for the MRSA#3...

I can hand sew this at night in front of the tv - I dont' miss much of the story line and there is always someone else sitting there to roll their eyes and fill me in on what I miss...

The plan for today is to finish that bag...start your stopwatch...now...

Stash

I promised myself I wasn't going to buy anymore material - I don't want the MATH to start making sarcastic comments of the "opening a fabric shop are we?" kind.
However, what's a girl to do when Peg's Pieces at Kirrawee is hosting a meet Saffron Craig and drool over her fabrics day? Any guesses as to where I was on Friday?

These lovelies jumped into my hand:

Perfect for another one of these bags. Sadly, I couldn't take all of them home - er...look what I already have at home for two other projects that haven't been started yet either.

(The solids are Kona cottons).

At the moment all I do is stack them up to look at!

And there is more coming...a postcard of Saffron's new range...

...that fabric shop in the sewing room is looking more and more likely!!!

Peg's Pieces is a little slice of button heaven too...since I've got a bit of a postcard obsession going, I can see the potential for these buttons...

...not to mention for the mug rug swap I just couldn't resist signing up for!
