prettiness

Clearly this blog needs a bit of pretty. It certainly could do with a bit more fabric. Or maybe by imbibing the prettiness I am hoping some of it rubs off on me...
One can hope ;)

Atsuko Matsuyama fabric (mostly) from various places including Ayumi, a most lovely crafty blogger & fabric seller.

I don't know what it will become. Hopefully something pretty.

I was poking around my Flickr photos tonight & came across this. It is so bittersweet...the passage of time.
This was almost 4 years ago. I am trying to remind myself to savor the moment.

There is something about amitie quilts that I find irresistible. Jen has such a great eye for colour & print. If you want to see more of my blocks please check out my Flickr stream. I have a few on the go!!

This was my mother's day treat as made by 5 year old Willa at school. Cute! Apparently one for me & one for her..... It's amazing they made it home!!

Time for a destash

It's been a big year thus far. All children now at school..the oldest one in high school. I've never been busier. In some ways. More demands, perhaps a bit more time alone. Anyway whatever it is, I've decided it is time for a destash.
My first point of call is Stash and Treasure at Marrickville Town Hall next Saturday 12th May. It runs from 9 am till 2 pm.
I'll have bits and bobs..fabric, yarn etc.  I will be sharing a stall with Dolores whom I'm sure will have some lovely stuff.  Hopefully we'll both leave with less than what we arrived with!!

So 3 of those skeins below have been knit up. Stay posted for the rest...it could take a decade though.
