Retro Picnic

One of the contests coming up at Spoonflower is picnic designs, luckily I have one already designed and printed. The plastic picnic set belonged to my Grandmother, she had lots of great retro things especially because her favourite colour was orange.

Fabulous Finds

I had a wonderful day driving around the countryside with my husband on Friday. First he had a business meeting at Birdwood where I picked up the two full length Aprons. Then on to Mt Pleasant for lunch at the Bakery and great finds at the local collectibles shop, some retro plates from Johnston's Australia and a gorgeous citrus coloured apron. Then a nice drive over the hills and through the plains to Murray Bridge for a few more great retro finds.

Cosy Crochet Slippers

Just finished these slippers for my sister-in-law. Next some for the boys, maybe in stripes.

Japanese Cameo Hexagon Progress

The hexagons for the Japanese Cameo quilt are progressing well. I love hand stitching, it is so relaxing and you can take it anywhere to work on.

This is what the finished piece should look like.

Fabulous Finds

Some fab finds lately at two local op shops. The black and white plates are not that old but I love the pattern. Love the two tablecloths too, can never have too many of those.

Laughing Frog

 Laughing Frog slipped into the top ten last week at Spoonflower. 

Here is the top ten fabric bundle, I think they look great together. Love the winning design from ebbygom, all the other designs look great too!

Hakea

The Hakea is my favourite Australian flower. I love the way it unfolds and changes colour, from the soft lime yellow to the rich dark pinks and reds. I picked these from a small tree this morning, hopefully they may be the inspiration for a yardage design soon.
