… would like to wish you a Happy New Year! :) We've had quite a nice break for the past few weeks. Been to the zoo, reorganised my stash, and managed to do some crafting too. The softies above, were made with Mochimochi Land's Stackable Cats pattern. I modified the ears to be more rounded [...]
Things are starting to look festive around here. I made this fabric wreath, inspired by this one, using an embroidery hoop and fabrics from my scrap box. We have finally 'finished' for the year — no more preschool or dance classes until February. No more mad rush in the mornings for 6 weeks, thank goodness. [...]

I've been trying to stay away from the computer for the last few weeks. I thought I should do a bit more knitting or sewing, instead of just reading about them. That, and I have some things that I need to do that have deadlines (mostly self-imposed, but still they have to be finished.) I'm [...]
Something else I finished recently… It's the Mail Sack! The pattern is by Kathy of Pink Chalk Studio. I love this bag, I've carried it around lots already. It's great for some light grocery shopping on the way home from picking Annette up from preschool (there's always something or other that I forget on my [...]
… to say hello! Ahhh, I've been slack in the blogging department again, haven't I. I haven't gone anywhere, really, just that the time (and words) keep getting away from me. Well there have been good and bad… Good — Going to the Craft & Quilt Fair at Darling Harbour, and went home with a [...]
