At the moment my sewing STUFF in in the basement across from the wood burning stove and in between my FIL workshops {yes plural, one for jewellery and one for airbrushing}.

As you can see here Rinoa (Janome DC something) and Alice have been spending some time together.

Behind Rinoa is my collection of old style milk bottles {I can't help it they are just sooo cool}

Underneath this table is my MIL's scrap booking stuff. This used to be her area but due to lack of use it got donated to me YAY.

To the left of that first picture is my cutting/pinning station.

At the moment it is covered in STUFF. We just got all our boxes delivered from Australia and these are the sewing things I haven't sorted yet, along with my floss which Rosie so willingly pulled out of the case.

In the tubs is a few bags of batting and well nothing. I don't know what to use the other one for.

And there right there behind the chair is my Naked Bed Quilt that I still haven't finished quilting. I decided that I would alternate quilting patterns and didn't realise what a stupid thing that was till recently. Oh well. Nothing to do but keep going or unpick it all :S

So there you go that's where I think about spending all my time :P

Next time I will show you the rest of my STUFF {there is more in my bedroom}

How much STUFF do you have?

Spoilt!

Christmas season is the best holiday season on the year {closely followed by Halloween}.

This year a friend of mine on Twitter Amy decided to organize a secret Santa swap on twitter, now known as the #ssswap haha

Anyway I the deadline or shipping has passed and we are all waiting impatiently. Well yesterday I stopped waiting and started squealing.

Hubs comes in with the mail and says "babe you got a package from someone named Monica." I squeal Happy Zombie and hubs shakes his head and walks away.

Haha Monica you are awesome!

After 3 layers of wrapping {gah} I found this amazing awesomeness waiting for me.

 

If the book itself wasn't enough she also included some DMC Floss, DMC colour card things, AND a composition book.

I am so spoilt!

Thank you to Amy for organising and Monic for spoiling me rotten.

For the love of...crafting

My good friend Sharon {http://aprairiesunrise.blogspot.com/} has a weekly face 5 link up called for the love of...and each week she picks a new topic so this week is crafting. What a perfect subject.

In order:

Gingerbread for the cookie swap that my cousin organized.

My finished embroidery and other little goodies for the twitter #ssswap.

My first 3 stars for the Oh My Stars QAL

My pouch for my #ssswap presents

And last but not least my sewing corner. I have a table etc down stairs but during the week I see upstairs so I can still spend time with my family.

Got over to Sharon's blog and check out the rest of the linkys.

Can I ask you a favor?

I am working on something.

Something that could turn out to be very very cool. Unfortunately I can't say more then that at the moment. But I promise to keep you updated :)

So what you may ask do I need from you? Well because I have some many friends who live in my phone that mean so much to me I want you to be apart of this very important thing.

What's the catch?

I would like you to email me a picture of your skyline. That's all. A picture of your favourite place in the world.

If you would like to help please email your pictures to littlecreatable@gmail.com or mention @littlecreatable in the tweet or something :D

Goings on

There is always a lot going on in life...always.

But I am loving my job and my little baby is growing and growing.

All that aside I need to admit that I have been down right nasty and completely irresponsible. I had a responsibility to finish a hoop almost a month ago and didn't. Partner I am so sorry. I have no excuse I just hope one day you can forgive me. On th lighter side of that confession if there is one here is the hoop.

I also decided to join my first QAL. Oh My Stars. I am super excited this quilt along especially since I am doing it with Amy

I have the orange and purple color ways of 1001 Peeps :DI also got a few other things for upcoming projects.

Hideaway for my tree quilt and Munki Munki Foxes just plain cute!

For the Love of...Home

How fortunate for me that my sweet friend Sharon has started up her Fav 5 again with a twist.

"For the Love of..." will have a new theme every week and you'll have to Sunday to get your blog post up and linked.


Oh if you are looking for the giveaway you need to go here

This weeks "For the Love of..." theme is?

	home  [hohm]  Show IPA
	at ease, at rest, central, down home, familiar,family, homely, homey, household, in one'selement, in the bosom, inland, internal, local,national, native (This definition came from thesaurus.com)

Some of you may know that recently I moved. Not just down the street, around the corner or even across the country but across the ocean. The biggest ocean.

From Brisbane, Australia to Langley, Canada. A total of 11908.232 kms.

Seems like a lot when I lay it all out like that, but I had a good reason...

This beautiful little girl.

This man who I love dearly despite everything I put him through.

 And you know what?

I think I'm going to like it here...a lot. 

When you live in a country that doesn't really have defined seasons you don't get to see beautiful colours like this.

Because this isn’t the first time that I’ve moved internationally {hoping it’s my last} I’ve learned that Home isn’t necessarily a place but the people I am with.

Don’t get me wrong in a few weeks Ill start complaining about the lack of sun and by the time it snows I’ll probably be so cold that I’ll have to wrap in 10 different layers before I can get out of bed.

SO for now I think I will just enjoy what I have ;) don’t you agree???

*hugs*
