Slacker

Yes it's true - I have been a complete slacker.
Here are the pics from last weekends craft outing.


Just don't look to closely at my wonky binding.


Or the very wonky flowers on the blue centre.

Look at who that is - my small girl when she was much smaller (about 6 years ago)!!
Gotta love that concentration - one of my favourite pics.

Still, I'm very happy overall with my sewing efforts.
Now just to make a couple more - and master the art of binding.

Bliss and bubbles

So I must confess - I had a marvelous day yesterday and discovered that many 
glasses of bubbly while sewing is not conducive to good binding.

But as you can imagine, it was fun testing the theory and finding that out.

I was lucky enough to nab a spot at the Mill Rose Bernina launch day yesterday - 
and it was fantastic. I had a ball making a wonderful photo album/clutch 
(which I don't have any photos of yet but coming soon)

Mill Rose is THE loveliest spot to visit. The fabric is inspirational,
the food at the cafe is sublime and Sue and her team are simply wonderful 
(thank you very much for the gorgeous fabric selection for our project yesterday).

A big thank you to my sweet husband for the leave pass and kid wrangling duty.

Time flies by...

So, nearly 2 weeks have vanished and being very social is killing my crafting.

Two weekends in a row that I didn't even see the little laundry for some craft time.

Week 1: Went off to Queenscliff to eat and drink way to much with Zoe and Ben.
It was lovely but the hangover was something I could have done without.

Week 2: Stayed home and played taxi for a small girl whose social life is very impressive
and invited wonderful new friends over for a delightful morning tea, who I must say 
make magnificent ginger kisses.

Thank goodness normality will hit this weekend when I disappear off 
to Mill Rose. Can't wait.
