What a Hoot!

A gorgeous day, people would think that knocking on the door of the wrong house would dampen it, but no, Andi's smiling face greeted us and we were welcomed in, to the house of fabric! Yep, I saw all those amazing projects, had a yummy lunch (put up with a grumpy daughter), and saw the one in particular I was interested in.....

yep, here is my fabric (made into that last quilt), It's a Hoot by MoMo. It's my Xmas pressie to Moi. Me. Bec. You get it?

 

And she threw in this charm pack, which was also in that quilt. Too gorgeous. Lots of staring at them for a while before I'm brave enough to cut into it! (It is good to know she may be teaching this quilt soon).

And what do 2 creative, patchwork and quilting lovin' chicks do when they kids

are entertain (or to entertain the kids?) Hama beads, of course!

Thanks, Andi and fam!

Finally Friday

Another warm one here in Melb, so inside pottering about. Murray had his visit to the groomers yesterday, the little pricklebum, and he has come back cutie-patootie! They actually left more fur than I though they would! He seems a bit happier, anyway.

In my trekking yesterday, I found this shop that was pretty much selling everything up to 90% off! I was on my way to get some fabric to make a dress to wear to a wedding on Monday night (wow, that was a long sentence!) when I came across this.....$200 reduced to $19! I would have already failed an Ethical Pledge, I had to have it and I love it! Now to sort out shoes....

I booked my babysitter last night, which was a big treat for the girl as she got to stay up late, and as my treat went to Perle 8's. Andi, Cindy and I chatted away, and Andi helped me come up with the backing for my quilt. It looks great, is a bit big but all together it is exactly how I wanted it. Thanks Andi!

Handmade goodies everywhere lately, here is Little Miss's effort from last week, a little giraffe from a kit I bought her for her birthday. This is the stuffing, adding it's heart and making wished stage.....awwww!

Speaking of awwww, check out Betty Jo and Lark for the latest tip- hot off the press...fox is the new owl.
