Nature...



Isn't nature a funny thing... not sure if you can see it - though when out taking photo's, I noticed this moss on the rough bark of a pine tree and thought "hmm, that sure looks like New Zealand".

What do you think??

They're back...

... Yvonne and Kevin are back from their Quilting adventures in Houston!

They had a fantastic time and have ordered lots of yummy fabrics and notions, and brought back with them lots and lots of goodies for the quiltery!

And wasn't I spoilt, here the the beautiful goodies brought back from Yvonne & Kevin for me - was such a lovely surprise... have had lots of admirer's wanting to steal my tote bag already - the cheek of them!!



Now I have to think of a suitable project for those gorgeous fat quarters....hmmm!
Have a happy day filled with stitching.

New Puppy... not ours though :(

Meet RUBY....




... isn't she just delicious! Ruby is my mum-in-law's new puppy - Ruby is part beardy, part eye dog. She has the sweetnest nature and Sharon loves her to pieces - how could you not!
Makes us realise how much we miss having a dog in our family :(

My Stitcher's Angel goodies arrived today...

OOOHHH look what I came home from work to find............


A huge box from my Stitchers Angel 2009 partner : Lyn from Bluebird Quilts and inside were these beautifully wrapped goodies...


Once I ripped off the tissue paper (though kept the beautiful ribbons)... look at these gorgeous gifts beautifully handmade, and perfectly chosen ...

My next batch of choco chip cookies are going to look totally butterfly :)

Check out these gorgeous tags made from paint sample chits - very cute...
And all of the goodies lined up. Thank you so much Lyn, I absolutely love everything and am truly very lucky xxx

A Question....?

Has anyone ever seen fabric with either caravan / motorhome / camper-van on it?

I've tried googling with not much success... If anyone knows where I can get a fat 1/4 - or has some that I could buy off them - I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance, and hope to hear from you :)

UPDATE: You all out there in blog-sphere are just fantastic - thank you for the wonderful links and suggestions, have found exactly what am looking for and the order is in process !!!
