Lullaby

"Close your eyes
Get some sleep
It's too late now
To change anything
But it's alright
Get some sleep
It's so dark outside
So close your eyes
And feel the world turn round
If you're not lost
I guess that makes you found."

Newton Faulkner

A beautiful song from his 'Hand Build By Robots' CD. Love it!

Patterns, Patterns, Patterns

Awesome : The wide range of funky patterns available

So I'm a huge fan of patterns - to the amusement of my sister, and here are a few on my wish list, and a couple that I already own.

The fabulous Amy Butler....these two I have, with a 'want to make' list quite long but lacking on the time factor at the moment...

How cute are these stackable fabric rings designed by Heather Bailey...


Alannah would love this dress up and I think this would be really be fun to create - by Modkid


This skirt is beautiful, flirty and wonderful all rolled into one - designed by Pink Fig


And for the grown ups among us...something a bit more stylish by Bettsy Kingston..


And everyone knows how much I love bags...I might need to add this one to my collection someday...designed by Sew Liberated...


And one of my favourite softies designers (and she's even local!) - Melly & Me...


And I also love this weekend bag that Melly & Me have designed...I have some Amy Butler fabric just waiting to be used in a project like this....


Hope you enjoyed some Sunday morning eye candy, for all you crafters out there :-P

Happy sewing xx

Room Ready

Awesome : Finally finishing Lana's room, just in time for the new school year.

So after a few days delay with the carpet issues, Lana's room was finally finished and ready to be inhabited on Sunday night. Curtains went up, light fitting installed and of course, the carpet was layed. There are still a few finishing touches to go, but it's getting there and Lana is in love with having her own space.

Will finish off her bed-head this weekend, and she will finally get to have her mosquito net go up over her bed...a real princess room..

Enjoy your Saturday
xx

Great Friends

Awesome : Spending some quality time with good friends and my sisters

A Sprinkle of Friendship

Awesome : Having a twilight picnic dinner on the beach with some of my closest girlfriends - a fabulous night


Danielle arranged a fantabulous picnic dinner at Brighton Beach as a pre-baby girlie get-together for me. So much yummy food (prawn & scallop salad, roast veggie salad with persian fetta, chicken, fresh baguettes, berries and ice-cream) plus lovely drinks (champagne & virgin mojitos) and wonderful company made for a fantastic night. I loved it!

I am very lucky to have such giving, loving, true friends in my life. Mwah to you, my lovely ladies xx
