1yr ago today.

I didn't know I could love so much.

I didn't have smile wrinkles ;)

I could go on dates with the Hubman at night.

I wasn't complete.

Happy 1st Birthday Rosalie!

Lazy Bear...yep that's me.

Well I think I must be the most lazy quilter/sewer in the history of self confessed quilter addicts.

Aside from a mug rug and a modified Hoop Pouch I didn't sew anything this week :( though I did work 50 hours + travel time does that count???

But aside from not sewing anything I let myself run out of thread :O

*shock and awe I know*

I won't be able to get any till Wednesday :(

So until then I'll have to spend some time with the princess.

*hugs*


P.s. Please excuse the confused picture order and the bad quality. I'm still running on BrackBerry Power :S not sure when or IF we'll be getting internet.

So it has been a long time.

Even for someone who is a no obligation blogger it’s been too long.
Before you go further I apologise for my bad photography -_- it's not my best skill.
I have missed my computer :( and I have missed you. 
{yes you}
So what have I been up to you ask???

My almost finished Doll Quilt for the Misfit swap.

If you don’t know what the Misfits Quilters are you should check out our blog
If you love to sew we’d love to have you involved.

The Alice quilt which needs to be finished by mid next month :S

Some trees for the next Misfit swap…can’t wait I LOVE LOVE these trees.

And finally I’ve been spending a lot of time here with Rosie who will be 1 in a few short weeks.

What have you been doing?

Just a thought for you to ponder.

Strong, is a Jedi that knows her limits. Happy, is the Jedi that, her burdens, she makes less.

Alice is coming to tea!

I don’t know if many of you know this but I LOVE Alice in Wonderland.
I don’t know what is it about the creepy cat, giant stoned caterpillar and a lady with a huge head but I’m all stitched up.
I’m sure I have seen just about every version of the movie 5 times each at least and that’s still not enough. There is just something about the vibrant colours and the confused story, the talking rabbits and the TEA that makes it’s irresistible to me.
Thanks to Mollie over at Wild Olive I can take my love to a whole new crafty level and so can you!


As a special treat I am cooking some brownies!
Would you like some?
You’ll need:
1 Cup Sugar
½ Cup Coco Power
½  Cup Flour
½ Butter
1 Egg
1 Tsp. of Vanilla
Ok so here is the easy part.
Mix all the ingredients, put them in a microwavable bowl or Pyrex and microwave for 4.5 minutes.
{If you want a nice moist cake instead microwave for 3.5 minutes}
And there you have it the perfect snack to eat with your tea.

Hero's

So yesterday I kind of flew off the handle...well not kind of.

Sorry about that.

After I posted I realised I probably should have written that with a huge helping of hindsight.

Oh well.

But you know something that I have noticed more and more lately?

Go on guess...

Fine I'll just tell you.

We quilter/sewists are the luckiest people in the world. I have never met so many people so willing to give freely of their time, money, energy and most of all their love.

If you don't know it yet you will.

I wish I could visit all my peeps...well all the peeps I stalk {in an awe struck inspired way} and spend time with them sewing laughing and just generally getting up to mischief.

But I haven't learned to fly and haven't got around to buying a Jet yet.

Sew a giant thank you to all the peeps who have offered a little portion of themselves {which is really what love and sewing/stitching supplies are}.

You are my HEROS.

Keep the love coming that's something we can all use more of!
