The Motherload of loot - Day 7 -

Pun intended!

Still no batteries for the camera, I hate paying full price for lithiums so I will get them at work tomorrow.


So I just have to describe my loot. I got slippers (come on Mums, you know that's what we want every year!) stuff from Miss 11's Mothers Day stall at school and a gorgeous little wall hanging made by my adorable little Miss 11.


I also managed to score the arm warmers coveted in a previous day of loot. Way to go me!

They are on their way as we speak! Yay! Hopefully they will get here in time for my birthday. Oh, I love May!

Hope Mothers day was enjoyed by all!

Loot, Glorious loot - Day 6 -

Batteries still dead, don't really have any loot to take pictures of anyway, so I thought I'd show you all my chenille wishlist. Because that's what you all want to see isn't it, more chenille.

Notice a bit of a pink theme going on here!

If I win lotto tonight, they are all mine!

Aren't they all gorgeous, they can all be found here.

Day 5 of loot, and my batteries are dead

Well, I tried to take some pics of my recently acquired loot, then the batteries went dead in my camera. Love the lithiums, but they don't give you much notice when they are about to cark it!

Anyway, I did manage to take one photo of some loot. The green moda fabric I picked up today for a secret project, secret from my mother who does read my blog so we'll leave that one alone for now! The honeybuns I picked up a little while back from the same place I got the moda today. It's my little local patchwork shop, that is so lovely, it's really worth the visit! If you ever pop in, tell Tereasa I sent you!

I did have some Spotlight loot to show as well, some cute little things that I will be using to make stuff for a little market I will be attending next week. I have little hair accessories, pincushions and needlecases and coffe cup cosies planned, we'll see how I go with all that!

my creative space...and day 4 of loot

My creative space was an entire local show actually! Well.... sort of! I did win 2nd place in my category, not exactly taking over the whole show, but I was pretty happy! The display did not do this justice, when she comes home, I'll take some better pics. My Mum also took home Highly Commended in her very hotly contested categories of crochet and patchwork wall hanging, love your work Mum!


My loot for the day is actual loot that I actually received today.


First is a gorgeous crochet headband from the lovely Michelle at The Royal Sisters. So very pretty, not going to take a photo of it on my head right now, been at the show, not looking the best!

Second is this lovely heatbag made from chenille by the lovely Miriam from Bubbachenille. Her and The Handmade Expo team are at the Ipswich show this week promoting The Handmade Expo and of course handmade. Check out both the blogs for a run down on how it all went, and to see Miriam's fabulous wins at the show!

Loot, Glorious loot - Day 3 -

Fresh out of the letterbox is this gorgeous cupcake fabric. Soft, yummy flannel. Mixes so well with chenille. I hope to make something yummy with this and some pinks and blues vintage chenille. Stay tuned.

Thought I'd have a bit of a cupcake theme today. Now who in their right mind doesn't like cupcakes!

First off is this tutorial I plan on using when I get started on my Christmas gifts for my nieces (can never start too early I say!) Sweetest little cupcake purses ever!
