Just doing stuff.....

So the last few days have involved a bit of this..................




and a teensy bit of op-shopping

Today we went and looked at carpets for the kids rooms. Miss 16 chose "strawberry crush" - a gorgeous red . Master 12 chose evil-skull-death-depression or something along that line but I think it will work...and if not, we'll just keep the door shut for a few years.

Crafty week

It's not that I don't craft through the week (some people would say it is ALL I do) but getting photos just proves to be beyond me. Ballarat has the deserved reputation of being somewhat cold and gloomy so by the time I get home from work there is usually no light left at all. Certainly no photo-taking light left in the day.



Monday / Tuesday

Those ball animals are still rockin around inside my head but I think I have nearly exhausted all options now. This little hedgie is my newest love. His name is Edgar !



Wednesday

A quick trip to the localist of op-shops revealed this little haul.

  • A glass buckle


  • a set of Brand new Japanese hankies (coming to handbag pattern near you soon)


  • Some little spring loaded button studs


  • a little brooch handmade by someone with more patience than I

  • a purse frame that did have a daggy pink plastic purse attached but I removed it for an experiment.

I have also been working on a few bags through the week and will be able to post those tomorrow. I even had a go at a bit of free-motion quilting and I didn't totally suck at it so that was a bonus.



Here is a fuller picture of little whiplash quilt. for those who asked. Now I am off to Spotty for some canvas !!!!
