The Happiest Place In The World
Gosh the blogosphere is an amazing place.
Despite the fact that we only ever hear negative stories about blogging in the general everyday media, I have to say that the crafty blogosphere is one of the happiest places on earth. Maybe it's even our very own adult version of Disneyland?
May I present proof....
Specimen Number One:
This surprise package of loveliness arrived in my mailbox last week from Virtually Sally. Beautiful fabrics and thread (in my fave colours), crocheted coasters (gorgeous), a little granny square notebook to carry with me so I can record all of my brilliant crafty ideas on the run, and....
..... Rusty
He quickly made himself at home on the bookshelf.
Specimen Number Two:
B-Fab bought me this amazing Bacon Cookbook. It has every recipe you can ever think of that uses bacon... even desserts.
It's Baconpalooza brilliance!
Specimen Number Three:
Iona and I met up with Carly and her friend Jo at Finders Keepers on Friday night, and she'd bought me a pressie.
You can't really tell from my photo but it's the size of a matchbox.
I can't believe that she found something so teeny and tiny and beautiful with my name on it. She also didn't know that I'm a huge fan of Sweet William.
This is now living on my special treasures shelf.
So thankyou dear blogospherians.... you always make my days happier!

The Lisette Sew Along - Virtually Sally
Check out Sally's gorgeous Lisette Continental frock!
It also has such a sweet story to go with it...
I love that making and blogging gives us the confidence to step out from behind the camera (which is where we usually find ourselves).
Thankyou Sal - you rock that frock!

Blogtoberfest Day 21: A Pattern Question
I saw a very cute pair of shorts the other day over at Virtually Sally.
Sal was nice enough to search through and drag out the pattern brand and number for me - (Burda 9793) . I toodled off to Spotlight yesterday morning (I have nothing else in my area) and bought it.
I'm not very experienced in using clothing patterns, and I would normally just take it home and cut out the pattern at the size that I currently need. But, this time I actually thought ahead (and yes it did hurt).
The pattern is for sizes 2 - 6 and has shorts, three quarter pants, and pants. I have four growing nephews who currently fit into the size category for this pattern, and will do so for at least another four years. So, I really need shorts in all 5 sizes, three quarter pants in all 5 sizes, and pants in all 5 sizes.
There was absolutely no way on earth that I was going to be tracing off the pattern that many times, so instead, I headed to Officeworks and photocopied it.
My question is:
Is it ok for me to copy it if I'm only doing it for my own personal use to save time in tracing out all of the different sizes? I couldn't find anything specified on the pattern, and I have no intention of distributing it.... What do you think?
