Happy New Year.
A new day and a New Year. Love the date, too ….. 1-1-11. I do get excited about little things like that. Well! I am also excited about the year to come. I had a great time in 2010 with family, friends, travel and sewing. I have had a whole year since retirement and I […]
Excited!
Just a little bit excited here! Well maybe a whole lot, really!!!! I found out that I am the lucky winner of some beautifully stitched snowmen blocks from Pauline. Pauline had them there as part of Sew, Mama, Sew’s give away day. Please visit Pauline, QuiltnQueen, to have a look at her wonderful work. I […]
Some Quilted Trees.
These are a couple of little wall hanging I have made to use for decoration each Christmas. I think the first one was made from a magazine pattern. It is embellished quite simply with novelty buttons. The next was an early effort with hand embroidery and machine stippling. It is always interesting to look back […]
How Now Brown Cow?

I found this week hard because I had too much brown to choose from – furniture, hard wood floors, toys, […]

Pink Stinks……..
Pink stinks…. wasn’t that what the boys used to chant in Primary School…. a long time ago? Not the case now, everybody wears it! Breast cancer day at the MCG is a great example of that. It took me a long time to come to terms with the colour pink. As a child growing up […]
Halloween Colours
Just a quick collection of snaps today. The first one is a copy of a letter sent around our court by a new neighbour. The idea is that if you wish to participate in Trick or Treat you put the orange balloon on the letterbox. That way children only come to the houses that want […]
Pincushion Goose.
I have just completed the top for this fun little pincushion from Hatched and Patched. I didn’t have the wools to make it so decided instead to use felt. Still looks cute!
Oranges and Lemons….
Okay, really just orange – the colour. This is the colour Robyn at Daisy Quilts has chosen for Colourful Fridays this week. Go over and check it out. Originally I thought it was going to be quite difficult to find anything around my home for this colour, but I was pleasantly surprised! This cute little […]

I couldn’t resist any longer. I have been following the Colourful Friday posts for a while now on Fairchild Street and Daisy Quilts, and now I have decided to join in. Please check in at Daisy Quilts for the other participants and see the green they have found. At the moment it is still […]
