Some Little Bits.
I am still getting used to the change back from daylight saving in that it gets dark in the evenings before I am ready. Give me another week and I should be back on track. I have been very fortunate in that I have spent 3 days in at the Australasian Quilt Convention. As [...]
Critters And Art…….And NYC.
I am so pleased to see our supermarkets moving away from the drab shopping bags. This is the great design on one of the grocery bags I found recently. I hope we see a lot more branching out with their designs. The weather has been hot but I have had some knitting to do. The [...]
A Pleasant Break.
This week we were able to spend a few days away at Metung on the lakes in Gippsland. We were incredibly lucky with the weather. Sunshine and warm temps every day. One of the days was spent in Buchan around the caves area. We enjoyed some of the lovely walks and the trees looked beautiful [...]
White Rabbit, White rabbit.
March ends today and we will be in April tomorrow. Daylight saving ends here, so a little time adjustment is needed. And Easter is just around the corner!! Sneaking up fast. I have been able to make a couple of felt rabbits for Easter decorations. I simply did a search for a rabbit template then [...]

This cute little guy is going to be a gift. I have just finished making him and now have to complete his sleeping bag. The pattern can be found over at Twins’ Knitting Pattern Mini Shop. There are some gorgeous softies over there! And some freebies. I have also been playing with these sweet [...]

Secret Keeper.
Over the years I have made many dolls. Far too many to have on display all the time. So every now and then I select a few to come out of storage and swap them with others that have been out for a while. This very wise looking lady is called Secret Keeper and is [...]
It’s Picnic Day.
The bear I have chosen for the picnic today is more of a doll pattern, but is still a very friendly bear. He has great big feet and a lovely face. I hope my memory is correct – I think the pattern is designed by Sewn From The Heart. I may need to take an [...]
Two Little Friends.
The pattern for these koalas appeared in a homespun magazine last year – Issue 80. The design is by Rosalie Quinlan. In her original pattern the overalls have a full bib and straps. I decided to make these with elasticised waists so that little fingers could easily dress and undress them. It is a very [...]
A Colourful Friday Valentine.
Another fortnight has snuck by and here we are at Colourful Friday. Today we have a focus on the colours for Valentine’s Day. Please take the time to visit Robyn at Daisy Quilts to see what everyone has found for this week. I seem to have concentrated mostly on reds and pinks, and also hearts [...]
