Finding treasures :)

Great start to day, big long run admiring the view & letting off steam!

Little bit distracted on way home by the local bunnies shop. I'm always going to go in & rarely do. Today was the day! Wow what a find! I had $20 in my pocket and I got it all for $16! Love it! Then I saw Mangoes in the fruit shop! Hooray! Summer is on it's way! So my last $4 instead of coffee went on the mango!

Later today I had a meltdown was a little medical testing saga (dodgy shoulder!) & then credit card saga! My gosh, I needed to recover and thankfully I came across a lindt cafe! Lucky me! Sometimes sweet things just calm the soul!

Dinner on & off to pick up our little dude!

What a great day of little adventures.

Life does get in the way :)

So that's where I've been pretty much in the thick of life and just embracing each day as it comes. Have been on some wonderful adventures and had some very special time with my precious family.
Now back to the discovery channel for me!
Enjoyed some great sunshine today, the modern art gallery & importantly lunch with my incredible husband at Jamie Olivers Italian. Wow super delicious!!!
Day of inspiration and pumping up the creative juices again.
Wish all are well :) look forward to blogging more.

Mission accomplished!

What a project! I have to laugh at my major imperfections! It was one of those "just give it a go & don't over think it". It's some pretty interesting sewing! For a first timer it was great to just get into it & work out what sewing machines are all about! There is also a real zen about it.

I look forward to joining a group & learning some finer details!!

Pillowcase 1 - tick!

Far from perfect! However I'm pleasantly surprised! Ok mmm coffee and let's keep sewing! Aim is really tonight to finish as tomorow I have a super busy day. :)

More planning then the big step!

Yesterday was abit of a house keeping day, and still thinking mmm how I'm going to pull this all together.
Today I've laid it out and locked in my plan of attack. So the only thing left to do is to get in a sew! I'm nervous about the amount of fabric and keeping straight lines!
Well tonight we will see!!
Hope everybody's Monday is kind. Mine started abit early & rough. Pleasantly surprised with a girlfriend who arrived with coffee & lunch what a precious gem!! Thank you Jane ;)
Now I'm feeling quite centered that my plan is going to get my sewing on track!
We have an awesome week ahead with an amazing event we have been waiting 8months for!! Will keep posted! ;)

Sick lil dude...

Our poor lil guy has been pretty sick all week & last night & today have been the worse. Sooo off to our fantastic Chiro at Bayside Chiropractic. Some drops and on our way to recovery. No sleep today, so no sewing as yet... That's ok I've been doing some next step planning!
I think the lil guy is having a marked improvement as he is climbing everything possible & chatting in his little harmonious ways!
Let's pray tonight brings some sleep & healing in our house :)

The project

About a year or more ago I thought I'd make a doona cover. I found some great fabric and then we moved house & then & then!

Now this actually coincides with an art project for my course. So off I go!

Well the best part of this is that working out the quickest most effective way to get the result with in a reasonable price to!

After realizing I didn't originally get enough fabric for the cover itself I struck upon a great buy of a doona cover & sheet set. Got to love myer crazy half price sales!

This is the my canvas.

Will keep posting :)
