More good things

I'm not expecting much good stuff over Xmas, it's pretty quiet around with no family, so I'm enjoying the last few weeks of nice/good things!! 

The delightful Cathie gifted my lucky girl this yummy Ginger house!

we decided to renovate on the way home (ie I gave it to the kid to hold) so I don't 

think there'll be much left by Xmas!)

I've cleaned out the girl's wardrobe, and had 2 boot loads of clothes and toys etc I've been (crazily) holding onto to drop of at the oppy. So I allowed myself this beauty....

and these gorgeous shoes!

The word on the street on Sunday was that Sportsgirl had these great shoes half price! a quick call to my closest one had me travelling into the city, to have it pay off with these! For $40!

Also, have started chopping up my Ink and Spindle fabric. Can't show too much here in case the surprise is blown...

A very productive day

I was going a bit bonkers during my week off looking after the poxy kid, so my young pal said she'd come for a play! Blog land is the only place an old bird like me would make friends with a spring chicken like B Fab!

She came bearing gifts (the best kind of friend ha ha). A slightly used but about to be thrown out cutting mat! Too long for my table, but practically perfect in every way!

we didn't muck around and quickly set up the machines.

A beautiful winter's day....the sun called us outside....

to the backyard of quilting! My old neighbour Wal came and repaired the table for me,

and we couldn't resist the sun. I needed sunglasses!

 We got 2 cot sized quilts basted, and then did some machining.

Fresh cupcakes made by Little Miss and I

and a little trip to the oppy, or a 'tea break' as we like to call it. B-Fab spotted

 these Ken Done placemats, perfect to go with....

my other set! Ah, the genius that is Ken Done!

Thanks, Brianna, for braving the pox and hanging us with us girls for the day.
