Disney on Ice



My girls big and small all had a lovely "girls only" last weekend. We all had such a great time.... We plan to do the same next year... shhh dont tell the boys lol


With some encouragement from a small facebook group I jumped on the Fancy Forest stitch along. This quilt was going to be my major years project lol... Even as I'm writing this I'm laughing...I cant make only one thing hehehehehe... 


I love the way Elizabeth Hartman has written her pattern, so clear and organised. I have a hedgehog and a thistle all cut out, waiting to be sewn today....maybe....
its our annual Christmas in July Trivia Night this weekend, which is a major money earner for our little school ( ten pupils)...and with only a few parents involved, there is a lot of work, as we provide a 4 course Christmas dinner and trivia night for approximately 100 people.  

Happy Christmas In July

A new space. ...

Ohh dear... the joys of blogger... I was about to write a post about my weekend adventures and "woe is me " my last post didnt publish grrr plus I havent really been online checking emails...so I didnt notice..
This was a quick post about my new sewing space......
A few years ago I lost my sewing room to Mr10. alot was packed away and our lounge room was rearranged to cater to my "stuff"....I kept explaining ( complaining) to hubby that I cant achieve anything as everyone used my tables as a dumping ground or were jumping on my puter or changing my chairs to different heights (gas lift)...very annoying....
We do have a 2bdrm cottage not too far from our house which used to be a B&B when I bought years ago...but we use it now for family and friends when visiting...so I didnt think I could be creative in that space lol


One day hubby rang me and said he had a found a caravan which had been gutted and he suggested we buy it for my new space....Hubby re did the walls, painted, laid a new floor, installed fluro lights and built me a huge work table at one end and boxed the other end for storage....
So ta da.... Im in...I couldnt wait for him to replace the windows...the caravan slat windows will be replaced by nice big windows......I moved in just before the school holidays so have only had a few hours here n there to play....the kidlets all go back to school in 2 days!! Hehehehe
