Time to snuggle up






Much to my little man's delight, he was able to snuggle up last night with his big boys quilt. He was over the moon & this morning he said he had the best sleep & said "thank you Mummy for my beautiful quilt", brought tears to eyes to see him so happy & such lovely manners!

New project in the makings


Had a fantastic day, wet here in Brisbane so perfect weather to get sewing. With two kids at school, little man at kindy & Cheeky Chops Charley a sleep for almost four hours - had a wonderful time commencing new project.
This next quilt is called "Follow your heart", this is for my little darling baby girl Charley. I hope she does follow her heart in whatever she sets out to do.
To be honest I did do these appliqued hearts quiet some time ago, they then got shoved to the side whilst I got busy doing other things. But now I think is the perfect time to make them into a quilt.
Here is a little snippet of what fabrics I've selected.
Even managed to sew a few squares together late this afternoon & had my assistant, second daughter KK iron them all out. She loves to iron!
Just love productive days!

Frangipani Friday!!




Woke to a gorgeous Autumn morning here in Brisbane. After several days of rain the sun is out & it's a beautiful day. I looked out my kitchen window to discover much to my delight - our first frangipani flower! So excited I planted this about 2 years ago from a broken off branch and literally shoved it in the garden not expecting it to grow - I am no green thumb. Also we have some other lovely colours shooting up near my girls fairy garden.

My little man is helping baking his sister a birthday cake. To keep him clean he is wearing one of inHomewares laminated kids aprons which are available in two designs - dino-mite and also zaza which is packed with animal personality & bright colours. Let the kids get messy and not worry about clothes getting wrecked.

Our little Cheeky Charley has turned one & finally her first quilt is complete. This was commenced before she was born, so I selected unisex fabrics. Then when our beautiful baby girl was born, I could make it a little more girly by adding pink sashing, sweet cherry binding and to finish off lovely pink backing. I'm sure this will keep her nice & warm for winter!
