Oh dear

The-Voice-pic

I do have stuff to tell you, but I’ve become a bit obsessed with The Voice. I know, I know, but I can’t help it.  Though I’m yet to forgive that Good Charlotte lad for eliminating Mahalia Barnes. Anyway, it started two minutes ago, and after that I have to make a mug rug (which [Read On]

Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done!

Tilly by Daisy Janie

Tilly has arrived:  100% organic cotton, using fair trade labour.  She’s beautiful. A wee departure from the brights I love, but I dream of so many projects when I look at this range.  Lampshades, cushions, covered chairs and yes, even quilts!  Fun to be done, indeed. Not only but also, there is Spokes in green, [Read On]

Heather's Version of Camelot by Trish Harper

Gourmet, me?

The perfect gin slushy maker

This will amuse you Frogdancer. Yesterday I went to a demo, injured myself and made a pretty major purchase. I’ve been assured by one of my very dear friends that Thermomix is the perfect gin slushy maker. I believe it also processes and cooks food. It will not replace my first love. Everyone needs a [Read On]

A little craft, a little rant

Botanical Gardens by Janet Page Kessler (kit)

Botanical Gardens by Janet Page Kessler (kit) My friend Lynette bought two of these kits at the Stitches and Craft Show at Rosehill in Sydney when we went a month or two ago.  She gifted one to me and we were planning to sew them together.  Of course, since then we’ve hardly seen each other.
