BOM Project planning

Ok, today I had to suffer (ha ha) through a visit to Marally Craft (http://www.marallycraft.com.au). I picked out some lovely fabric to base my BOM around and got a shiny new art book.

So now to put my thoughts and sketches together, and put some instructions to it all.

Here's a sneek peak at the fabric, isn't it pretty.

Aren't I spoilt!

Aren't I spoilt! I received a pretty stitchery bookmark, from the wonderful Ondrea for the craft forum, in th bookmark swap, she was very paitent with we as I posted mine late!

Thank you it is so me!

The Hay Plains

I thought I would share this picture with you. This is what we saw as we crossed the border in SA after many hours driving along the flat, flat, long, flat, dry, flat Hay Plains!

Twas the night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house…..
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….

Except over at "Hugs from Helen" there is a beautiful giveaway, of a christmas 7 part block of the month.

Hop over and have a look!

I've been away for a holiday!

Gee, it's been awhile since my last lot of blogging. We had a family holiday to Adelaide! What a wonderful town, so pretty, and clean. We went and watch the BMX World Champs! The racing was fast and furious!

The best thing about the trip was spending the day with the girls from Adelaide, that are in the craft group. I don't often get girly days, so this was splended! We all chat like we would if we meet every week!

A big thank you to Mrs Moo for opening her house to us all, I hope to see everyone in January!
