More From Etsy
It will come as no surprise to you that I love Etsy. It’s the one site that I can waste so much time and, if I had it, I would probably spend a lot of money there also. I am always looking out for quilt inspiration even though I manage about to create one quilt…

Quilt Project – Take Six and Seven
A little belated I know. Here’s the tale end of my quilt project. It is now on it’s way to be professionally quilted. This is the backing fabric drying on our line. There was 9.5 yards of it so it was quite unruly to handle. My last step was to lay it all out on…

Going crazy at Etsy
I have been having a lovely time browsing Etsy lately and in the process have bought myself a couple of housewarming presents. This one completes my Utensils collection. My eldest chose this one, I couldn’t decide between the spatulas and the egg beaters so he chose the egg beaters. It was such a good choice…

Envirosax
Last week I discovered these gorgeous packable grocery bags. They are made by Envirosax a company based in Queensland. It’s always nice to support Aussie companies.

Correction
I chose the wrong picture. This is going to be my border. Thank you to Joy for picking that one up. I agree that the green is a good choice, it may soften the pinks a little which will make my darling husband happy. He’s already commented that the quilt is a little girly… here’s…

Quilt Project – Take Four
So I have finally put the strips together for my quilt. Despite being a relatively simple pattern, actually squaring off the quilt has been a challenge. I believe that quilting is chaos theory in action. One slight error can culminate in one large discrepancy in measurements. I am now trying to work out what to…

New House!
Well it’s been too long between posts, my sincere apologies to the 3 people that actually read this. I include myself in that number. There is a good reason for my lack of inspiration – house hunting!!! To everyone who has ever done this you will know what a stressful and time consuming venture it…
