has got to be a good day!
It all started with these arriving on my doorstep - grown, picked, composed and delivered by the very talented Nan of rummage fame. If you have not yet had the pleasure to meet Nanette, do pop over and say hi - she's one creative chica.
Then I took a little look at some of my fave blogs and stumbled across these. So the smalls and I baked this recipe which turned out perfectly (ah hem, yes I do say so myself!)
And as we were in the spirit of baking, these happened (country style loaf from the cook's companion by Stephanie Alexander):
And with all the rain in this part of the world right now and the serious absence of summer, what's a girl to do but read the paper with a cup of tea and a delicious piece of cinnamon scroll (I may or may not have encouraged the small people to spend a half hour in front of the tv while this happened).
Now to frock up and we're off to the end of year school concert in which the biggest small will perform. Fabulous end to a fabulous day with my two lovelies.

I received my hoop for the Scrappy Hoops Swap from Under the Evening Star and I just LOVE it. Absolutely adore it in everyway. It certainly covers my request - scrappy, tick; hexies, tick; colour, tick. Thanks so very much, this is wonderful.
Melissa says "I just loved working on it and I hope she likes it as much as I do!". I think I like it even more than that as it's now on my wall :) And I also received the cutest little card and piece of fabric - how nice to get such a treat in the post.

Pillow Talk 4 - Completed!
Remember this? Well it's done. And because one wasn't enough, I've made a second pillow to be its friend. Only I can't show it to you in full as it would give away who the recipient will be... So here is is covered by the matching mug rug I'll be sending my partner.
And the backs - I'm pretty sure my partner will just love the echino back of the second one... In fact, I think that will be her favourite part of the whole swap ;)
These are off to the post office - I can't wait to see what is heading my way!!!

A new skirt is headed my way
Just a soon as I get my sewing machine back from the service man.
My machine had a little meltdown this past week and miss her. Please come home soon.
In the meantime, this skirt needs two contrasting fabrics - any suggestions as to what I can add to this gorgeous Amy Butler Love fabric???

Fabric on Fridays
This darling bundle arrived in the post from Sew Mama Sew this week:
It is soft, cuddly flannel - rather inappropriate for this time of year in our climate - but for a bubba who is due to arrive in April it will be a snug surprise...

Pillow Talk 4 - work in progress
My partner asked for scrappy and her mosaic indicates a preference for blues and greens - what do you think of this so far? Any suggestions for quilting thread colour? I'm thinking orange but have really have no idea so I'd love your thoughts...
