Mr Gocco

Yesterday I spent some quality time with Mr Gocco and once again rekindled my love for him.

I seriously love that machine.

I printed some little girl panels


I printed some badge panels
and I printed some little owls.
Today I was invited to go and talk to the group at the Ballarat Quilt -In .
I had a blast ! They were a very fun bunch of people and they kindly laughed in all the right places ! I raved on and on about craft and blogging and even did a bit of shopping before I left.
Now if only I could manage a crafty finish tomorrow, without any major mishaps......I could be heading to weekend nirvana !

  2. Oh she's adorable!! I was just talking GOCCOs last week, i just need someone to hold my hand, buy one & all the accessories for me, then show me how to do it all. Your work is so sweet, love the girl!! I can imagine listening to one of your talks, giggling, perhaps even heckling, just for fun. Love Posie

  19. Did you know that your giveaway has exploded? With 205 comments - the door is closed - phew - you just HAD to do it!!!!

  20. Apparently I JUST missed you at the patchwork shop yesterday arvo., bet you gave the quilt-in ladies a run for their money. Love the little owlies and I want at least one of those little girls to say something sweary, just because. No craftiness for me today; mooching around Castlemaine admiring open gardens and eating the best-ever lemon meringue cupcake. Hope your crafty Sunday was ace.

  21. I'm dying to know; WHAT of the week???

  22. I can't wait to go home (i'm at school, but mr. gocco lives at home) and have bonding time with my own gocco! were you using the stamp kit for fabric?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hmm, unlike Ladydi I am dreading to know... WHAT of the week! I am too scared to ask... in case you tell!!!

    (She said it!!! I knew she would, but then... she did!!!) You madam are not ladylike... which admittedly is a damn fine thing!!

    I imagine that little girl looks as angelic as you did when you were her age... oh wait, of course, you are her age. Forgive my impertinence... I'm not ladylike either!

    Here's to Weekend Nirvana... with cake obviously.
