gentle prodding

You know, I often need a gentle prod to get things happening. Last year Maree nagged me into submission and I finally wrote the Parsley and Beet pattern.

This time , you guys have Cynthia to thank. Cynthia has been gently prodding me for a pattern for Monty and Pearl since ...about forever. I fudged about and dilly-dallied and talked myself out of it for ages. I told myself it was silly to make a pattern for such tiny fellows - but Cynthia disagreed....

So here it is...I was never ever going to ship kits for these overseas as the cost is just plain rude - but these mini patterns just slide on through like a letter.
These are actually more like a tutorial with a colour photo to go with each step-by-step instruction.

Anyway they are in ye olde shoppe right now and they are already on sale at Winterwood in Melbourne. (That is also where I get the delicious hedgehog fabric in the above photo if you're interested.) They are also on their way to the gorgeous Pom Pom Rouge in Queensland as we speak.
and because they are such well travelled little fellows, this weekend they will also be on sale at the Quilt and Craft Fair in Hobart. One of my gorgeous Senior Managers Jo, is helping out on Fee's stall and they have all my patterns and a box full of samples - so if you are heading in please stop and say Hi to Jo and Fee of Mother's Cupboard on stall C10.

Monty and Pearl would be pleased to see you - this is their very first overseas adventure.

I have to :

Introduce my new boyfriend
(spunky robot courtesy of pinksnowflakes)
Say thanks for all your support of THAW in the last post - man you guys blow me away !


Tell you that Vic of Punky and me - is the winner of Rocket and he will be heading off to live with her really soon.
Share with you Miss Ric-Rac was suitably embarrassed about it all .....so I have yet to show her this .........

and tell you that the disco bot pattern is finally done and listed.
Can I also just whisper quietly that I am stuffed ! My brain has turned to blancmange and I wish I could sleep for a week. My kids are fully doing my head in and I am snappy and snippy and in need of a good slap myself.
Christmas is looming like some turgid bubbling quicksand and the Grinch is ringing and asking me for anti-festivity tips.......
School is like some crazed asylum where they are definitely not handing out enough feel-good pills and the calendar is filling up way too quickly.
I am off to a 50th birthday party tonight and I just want you to know that should the four horsemen of the Apocalypse interrupt my sleep-in tomorrow I shall get out of bed (sans foundation garments) and I shall grab the nearest weapon (quite possible an outdoor chair) and I shall quietly and calmly beat them to death.
(but I am not a monster, I would spare the horses)
