my creative space...

This week has been one of very little creativity. The most I have done was seen on yesterdays post. Yep, bunting was as creative as it got.

I have been doing some planning of things still though and so spent a lot of time on the computer, on the couch, printing vintage Easter cards onto fabric with our new inkjet printer.

That's creative. Isn't it? Someone? Hello??

Check out better creative spaces over at Kirsty's.

brain overload

Obviously I fried the CPU in my brain from all the projects I had cooking away in there.

None of last weeks planned projects have come to fruition . This bunting is the only thing I have really managed to do all week, and I just did it an hour ago!





I did manage a little trip to the local oppy. Miss 11 needed a long sleeve shirt for a wall mural mosaic they are doing at school , and I picked up this very cute vintage Raggedy pillowcase. 50c.
Also while searching Big W (of all places) for baby shower gifts for my cousin, I stumbled across their habby section, and found 1930's prints for $3.64 a fat quarter. I was most impressed!Aren't they gorgeous!!

my creative space...

This week my head has been all over the place! And my sewing room is indeed reflecting that. I can't focus on one thing, I keep flitting from one thing to another.

I've got chenille that i'm cutting for an order.

Wonky star blocks for Camp follower.

Little stitchery thank you for who ever wins the quilt.

Order received from sublime stitching (totally gorgeous by the way!)

Pieced border pieces for a quilt my Mum and I are doing together (well, she's really the one doing it, I'm just the side kick!)

There is also the beginnings of a quilt I intend to make for the Ipswich Show. First prize is a whopping $5 people! Kaching!

There is actually more going on that is not pictured, so you can see why my head is about to implode. I'm hardly sleeping, I'm drinking way too much coffee (thanks Mum!!) and this post is way too long!!

Hopefully my head will stay intact long enough to get everything done.

Head over to Kirsty to see who else is playing along this week.

wonky stars

Well, what do you think? Good for my first "real" quilt square? (well I have done a nine patch quilt, but really can that count??)

This, along with another one, will be heading off to Camp follower. Another crafty blogger doing what she can for the cause. I hope she likes.

chenille quilt, listed!

I have just listed on ebay my little contribution to the bushfire appeal.

I am hoping it goes for a lot, and my biggest wish is that someone will pay a fortune, and then donate it someone who has lost everything in the fire. how cool would that be!

If you have come from my auction on ebay, i will fill you in on what some of us have been trying to do. Help. Basically thats it, just help. The only way we know how. Every cent from this auction (except postage) will go to the bushfire appeal. Once payment has been received, I will send the full sale price to The Red Cross. I will then send you the receipt along with your quilt. Easy. So bid big!

Oh, and most of the chenille in this quilt has come from my personal stash, the stuff that usually just gets looked at and drooled over. Yep, I wanted to help that much!

my creative space...

I've been very distracted this week by all the goings on in Victoria. While I live in Brisbane, I was born in Melbourne and have always had a very big soft spot for all things Victorian.

So this week my creative space has been consumed by the making of a quilt to auction off for the fire victims.

Watch this space, later today I hope to have this finished and listed on ebay with the proceeds going to the bushfire relief.

Head over to Kirsty and check out more creative spaces, and head over to handmade help to check out the offerings for the bushfire relief.

helping best we can

As you might notice from the button on my sidebar, I have decided to try and help best I can with the bushfire appeal. The thing that I love best about this country of ours, is that when the chips are down, we band together, and try to help out our fellow countrymen any way we know how.

I will be making a quilt, and auctioning it on ebay, and all proceeds will be going to the bushfire appeal. Just click on the button on my sidebar to take you to the handmade help blog, and follow all the other great crafty bloggers trying to help, the way Aussie women do best, with our hands.

Thanks.
