A blog by a forty something mum with not enough time on her hands and a crazy idea that it might be fun! Lots of fabric patching and wool to be seen in the future.

Warm teapot
Believe it or not a purchase from the Darling Harbour craft show...vintage tea cosy for $9. Goes nicely with my ugly green and brown kitchen!!
I've always planned to knit something like this one day but so far there has always been another knitting project...

Must.stash for Jeannette
Ready for a photo?
I am in a Flickr bee called must.stash. The blocks I have just done are for Jeannette of Gone Aussie Quilting. She requested Japanese cross blocks that tell a story. This block tells a story of some of my favorite fabric designers.
It also tells of my love for travel, asymmetry, originality, & of course flowers!

Melbourne shops
When on a visit to Melbourne I do enjoy going to several shops...if I can manage it.
My favourite quilting one is Amitie as is somewhat obvious on this blog.
I came across a couple of special ones last year at Easter in the middle of town upsome lots of stairs (altho I think there might be a lift too).
I happened on l'uccello. Lots of beautiful things.
It was just next to Buttonmania (lots of buttons!)
Address;
The Nicholas Building
37 Swanston Street
2nd Floor
Melbourne 3000
I'm really not sure why these popped into my head tonight. I spent a fair bit of time today at the destash market at Marrickville Townhall . Destashing was the name of the game last year but this year I did a bit of restashing (like I need to!!)...and catching up with my world of craft friends.
It was a lovely market & a good excuse to let the rest of the fam look after themselves for a while.
....no picture but maybe later......
Here we go photo as promised! Treasure from the destash!

Circle Game!!
I've been back to the Circle Game over Christmas holidays. We went away for a little while & I took the handstitching (there wasn't a lot of room for anything else what with the kids & Christmas presents & beach paraphernalia!) I find these quilt blocks very therapeutic in amongst lots of trouble.
