discovery

Imagine every day being filled with something new, something amazing that you have never seen before. It's so awesome you just want to eat it! Pretty mind boggling hey.



Oh she melts my heart, my sweet Sage.

... and her brother's too by the looks.

ruby girl

A couple of weeks ago we visited my sweet friend Ruby, an uber talented crafting chick who I lived with many moons ago. A cuppa and chat was all time allowed, along with indulging in some yummy brownies cooked up by my clever friend, SuziQ. It was all very civilised....except for my children running amok through Ruby's home dragging Sue's poor children around.

Ruby is a very clever seamstress who has been making some way cool bags of late. She doesn't sell on-line yet, but hopefully she'll get set up one day soon and share her talent. A little peak at her talent is being modelled by Tully, a very cute little dress in vintage fabric. I love it, it's stunning and sure to be a fav with Tul and little Sage for a long time to come.

finds at the fete

A church fete is always sure to deliver some sort of goodness and this weekend's sure did. Firstly in the form of beautiful afghan's knitted by the good church grannies....brand new and an assortment to choose from to boot!



And then a cute little Dick Bruna's animal frieze. Mint condition but missing a few cards, i love it so, it makes me very happy every time i look at it.

my creative space

I have so many little things on the go right now but somehow I just keep adding to the list. I'm in total agreement to Holly Hobbie, yes indeed happiness is found in the little things, so beside Holly these little things are indeed making me happy.



I've been doing a little bit of t-shirt painting and pixie making but I'll share those pics when they're with their recipients. There's been a little bit of dress making, quilt hand sewing, knitting and my latest obsession, crochet of ye old granny square. I must admit that it took me a bit to figure out the crochet thing. First, I checked out the instructions in a prominent new crafting book but it was a bit gobbly gook to me, then I tried clever knitting extraordinaire sis but learning from a lefty was too hard, then you-tube..no luck, but then I went back to my crafting roots and got good old mum to show me, and voila...I got it. With the help of a little book she lent me I'm now churning out grannies and even eyeing off other crochet variations. Next amigurumi...am I dreaming????



Other little things making me happy are these little Heather Bailey finds from Spotlight. Who would have thought it! Admittedly they are scrapbooking supplies and I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with them, but I love them just the same.



My little cooking mate makes me happy, how could he not! His missing his school girl sis terribly so we spend a lot more time doing stuff.



And of course this little miss always makes me happy. Snuggled close 24/7, My crafting companion.

more craftiness and a very cute thermos which I would love, over at Kirsty's
