Christmas Windows



Yesterday we took a trip to Melb, went and looked at the Myer Christmas windows which i think is now our family tradition. Miss and I loved the little dancing ballerinas. We also checked out Harbour Town and DFO, got a few Christmas presents which was good. Harbour town was so great, right in the middle there was a massive sandpit with heaps of buckets and spades and playground equipment, so Andy sat at the cafe and watched the kids while reading the paper and ordering drinks, while i shopped! Whoever came up with that sandpit idea...brilliant!

Quilt finished!



So I finally finished the quilt the other week. I just kept putting off doing the binding, it seemed like it would be so hard, but it actually turned out alright. Theres a few squares in the middle that are wonky, some would say it adds character but to me it's just really annoying. Of coarse any quilter would be horrified at the way it's slapped together but considering I havn't used a sewing machine since high school I was quite proud of the finished product. Miss loves it, ''I'm so happy to have my own quilt''. Her words not mine.

Stool Makeover



I really like the old retro stools, i found one once at the oppshop for $2, I thought it was such a great and rare find but since then I see then I've seen heaps of them around. It's like when you here a strange word and then over the next few days you hear that same word heaps. Weird.
Anyway I just cut a piece of material and attacked the bottom of the stool with the staple gun. Easy.
