Dear Blogger,

I thought we might have a little chat.

No, nothing’s wrong, I’m just a little bit worried about you.

You’ve seemed troubled lately…..kind of distant.

Your behaviour is changing, its hard to predict.

Things seem a little erratic,

and to be honest your word verification is almost incomprehensible.

I’m starting to worry

I’m not judging you blogger, I want to help you.

Blogger ? Love ?

 

 

Are you doing drugs?

It seemed like a good idea…

When you decide to make eight “Little Red” dolls. It might be wise to bone up on your math.

Eight Little Red’s mean 40 mushroom tops and 40 mushroom stalks

Eight Little Red’s also mean approx 160 French knots.

Eight “Little Red’s” also means 96 little teensy eyes on little teensy shoes  

I haven’t even started on the vegies.

 

The Dance of the Finish

I spent some quality time with my good friend  Mrs ButtKick this week

  and as a result the Little Red pattern will be heading off to Creative Abundance today !!!!

Spending online time with another good friend, Gillian and her magic photoshop abilities, means Little Red will not be travelling with that stick up her bum!

look over there…

The gang and I are hanging out at Susie’s. as part of her interview with Australian Bloggers Series.

Pop on over and read my ravings if you like, and while you are there pop into Susie’s Etsy shop and check out her fabrics

(my favourite is the marbles)

A couple of finishes under the belt always feels good.

 

But of course it is the new stuff that is the most exciting. I was hoping to get to play with this during the week, but I am off to sewjourn this weekend so I might take it along with me for a fiddle. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Teaching

Ok, so I have been a bit slack on the information relay. Sorry. I have some great teaching booked in for the first half of the year and beyond:

Wednesday April 4th (school holidays)

I’ll be teaching a beginners class for Sally at Mill rose cottage in Ballan. This would be a great class for someone who has never made toys before. Young people are most welcome with their parent and we will make the toy together. Teaching (and learning ) at Mill rose cottage is always a treat I promise you.

Saturday 21st April

I’ll be teaching Baxter at The Drapers of Mt Macedon – Can’t wait. A day with Mary is good for the soul. I’m looking forward to catching up with some local friends while I am there. (waving at kylie) This class would also be fine for a beginner. Baxter is not a complicated fellow to assemble, we just have to grit our teeth as that fur sheds all over us !

Saturday 19th May

I’ll be teaching the Three little maids locally at Ballarat Patchwork. Its always a great day, and for me its kind of like a second home. The day is always very relaxed and if you’re lucky I might forget something and you’ll get to meet the grumpy teenager as I ask him to just quickly hop on his skateboard and deliver me a fox toy or a pair of haemostats. (truly he loves it)

Later in the year I will be squeezing in the Daylesford Craft Experience and am very excited to say I’ll be hanging with Leanne Beasley and Rosalie Quinlan at the Quilters Harvest Days in Warracknabeal.

If you are unsure about anything to do with the classes or you would like to join in you can contact the shops or email me with questions.

Right now one must get out of the pyjamas and into the sewing room. One has many ideas brewing. One is losing sleep. One’s head is very very close to exploding.

Is it too soon

 

to call it a rug?
