The Vintage Mags.....

A note to those who put their name on the list. I placed the order last night. It's released sometime in June. I'll let you know as soon as it arrives.

Did you know?.....

I am one of the top orderers (Wonder if that is really a word, if not then l have just made up a word.) of the Prim Magazine. I'm pretty happy about that. And it's thanks to you guys for ordering it from me.

The June calendar has been posted.....

Not a lot happening, give you time to get over Winding Ways. The new Newsletter will be out after the Queen's Birthday weekend.

Merry Little Christmas Table Runner....

I have just put together the fabric starter kit for the June Christmas project.

Hope you like it.

I didn't realise......

How smart Tom was. He left home about 6 years ago and moved back in March to save money to go to the UK.

He knows everything about every thing, even things he knows nothing about. And argue..... he'll argue about everything. Last night argued with Ray about us running out of blacberry jam. Turned out he was wrong, but you'd never know it.

His Visa arrived yesterday and he booked a flight last night. He's off on the 17th July, that's only 49 days away you know.

I love him, but l love him more when he's living somewhere else.

Hmmmm, the feels better, thanks for listening.

Merry Little Christmas Table Runner.....

Take a peek at June's Christmas project. It's quick and easy, designed by Lisa from Fig n Berry Creations. Kits will be available by the end of the day. How's that for a surpise, there's still a couple of days to go before the 1st of June. I am on fire!

The Fabric Starter Kit.....

Take a peek at the fabric starter kit l have put together for the Four Little Toadstools table runner.

The Knife Man.....

Will be here on Wednesday. If you need things sharpened you can drop them off at the shop. 

Yesterday.....

Got out of bed at 6.00am yesterday to finish getting ready for the Pakenham Quilters stitching day. The power was off. (Found out this afternoon it went off at 1.00am.) We've got 2 lanterns for this very reason. Was able to have a shower and a cuppa. Armed with my hairdryer l headed off at about 8.00.

Got  a text from Ray, power expected back on at 4.00pm. All well and good, but that meant poor Michelle and Bernadette were stuck here for the whole miserable cold day manning the shop. Ray said when he left to go to the opening of Sam's exhibitions they were wrapped in quilts.

Apparently there was a single line down - about 40 m long in the street behind us and that was it. A branch had knocked it down. Not happy!

Prim Mag.....

To the ladies who missed out l am just letting you know that l have placed an order for you. Will be in touch as soon as they arrive.

Just letting you know.....

That if you are doing Winding Ways tomorrow Craft Haven will be open until 3.30.

My oh my.....

There are only 6 more days left for you to complete the Winding Ways Shop Hop.

I was lucky enough.....

To bring home Lisa's samples from the Stitching Soiree last Saturday. This was a popular project....

Like some more details?

I am going to kit each of the projects up, am waiting  for the felt used in the needle case.

It can be done......

Just had a mini bus arrive, it parked comfortably in the drive way. The 12 visitors fitted into the shop easily. Everyone had a good look around, they all got served without too much fuss, everyone was happy as they said goodbye and said they'd return.

Just letting you know that although we're small we can still accomodate groups.

Brought back.....

Honeybee Home from the Stitching Soiree on Saturday. Lisa if you are looking for it here it is. 

Last call.....

If you want the latest Primitive Magazine and you missed out let me know, l am about to place another order. Back orders are aslo available.

 

If you have a collection.....

Of Mrs March florals you will love Hearts and Dragonflies from Sewjo Designs. Was a Block of the Month but is now available as a pattern, much better price wise. And here is Block 1....

 

There are only.....

10 more days left for you to complete the Winding Ways Shop Hop. Don't miss out on the chance to be in the draw for a weekend for you and 7 friends at the Beau Vue Quilt Retreat in Loch.

The next.....

Stitching Soiree is on October 20th. For more details visit the Stitching Soiree Album on the left of the page.

I'll be there with bells on.

Have never perfected.....

The poached egg which l love. Something terrible seems to happen to it when l try to move it from the pan to the slice of toast. Tom has the same problem.

Recently l tore out Margaret Fulton's tips on poaching an egg. We followed the instructions and we did it. Actually it was easy.

Maybe l will try the sponge after the success l had with the eggs.

A lot of stitchers......

I know love making pincushions and needle books. This is a newie from Viv's Creations.

A booklet full of stitcheries.....

Includes full instructions for a quilt and a table centre, you'll love A Christmas Noel.

Stitching Soiree.....

Just wanted to let you know what a fabulous day l had yesterday. Caught up with lots of web site customers, some l had met and some l met for the first time. They seemed to like what l had on the trade table. Brought home some new patterns and samples from both Viv and Lisa. Am about to add them to the web site. Stay tuned.
