A free house

So I was surfing ebay and came across this free house for removal. How cool is it! So granny and 70's retro. That lino is the best and the green couches with floral cushions are pretty good too.

Spaces

One of my favourite christmas presents, Spaces by fankie magazine. It's so inspiring! Love it.

A lovely couple

P is for Prince and Princess. But Miss told me she 'mucked it up, the princesses arm is too fat'. Kids art is the best.

Pepper and Salt shakers I found at this great little antique shop in Nagambie last week, there was also a orange retro type writer which I loved but refrained from buying.

And a pair of the old fashioned roller skates, bargain buy at the oppshop half price sale. They don't make em like this anymore, they're so heavy and in perfect condition.

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years. Good times good times.

Haven't blogged for so long because of all the excitement in December and because I've become absolutely obsessed with sewing these hexagons together, every spare few minutes I'm sewing, I'm sewing while watching the kids play, while feeding Little Miss breaky, while watching tv, while at the park, while camping, and you get the picture. It's so addictive, and everywhere i go I'm looking out for cool fabric, because I want every flower to be different. It's going to be a queen size quilt, so my aim is to finish it before the end of 2011. Hand stitching is rewarding and very SLOW.

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!

Home

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.
