Thanks

Yikes, It has been a looong week guys and the only crafting going on here has been of the incidental variety - lots of noodling, but even more flumping on the couch and doing nothing.

This week we started moving back into the library - I could wax lyrical about what kind of hell this is - but I would even bore myself. I am off the crutches but trying to be careful- you know as I carry boxes of books across the school.

I got a scrumptiously generous parcel in the mail from FroglegsNVaseline (isn't that a great blog name).

Yep....you guessed some great big Papa selvedges - I got so excited I started piecing them together right then and there , they are perfect for the ginormous project. Thanks so much , longer selvedges are especially hard to get.

Yesterday I went to Ballarat Patchwork (anyone want to buy a patchwork shop?) to meet Annie and Rachel. It was so great to have that quick little meeting and we showed each other our mini quilts for the LucyLockett Mini quilt swap. (aside here: Lucy, you are going to pee yourself with excitement when you see Rachel's quilt-I'm just warning you!)

While I was there Rachel gave me some selvedges that she has been collecting for me and so did Emma. How lucky am I? Thanks for helping me out girls.

Last weekend I thought I would be clever and list the dollies in the Etsy shop- it takes me a while so I thought that I would give myself a week to get them all listed and then mention it here this weekend, it didn't quite work out like that as they were snapped up . I promise I will get better at this stuff guys but for now just to let you know that Claire and Ester will be in the shop later tonight.

oh and this is Babette, but she already has a new home awaiting her.

This will be it for the dollie/animals for a little while. I am making one or two for myself and I also want to make another little girl with loads of accessories to be auctioned for the Mirabel foundation. That and the next 6 or so weeks of full time work may mean the next lot of dollies will be a while off.

I want to say a massive thanks to everyone who left a comment on the selvedge scarf- I am really surprised that it is so appealing....and a special thanks to Fi and Claire for the new title of Creative Selvedge Freak Woman - I have popped it on my sidebar !
