Where has the time gone.............?????

Oh boy - I knew it had been awhile since I had made a post but it was way back in March!

Ive been busy doing that life stuff!

Here's what has been keeping me super busy for the past 6 weeks::::::::

Its not my foot - thankfully!!!!!! I decided to take the kids to the park on Mother's Day and Cameron fell off the flying fox! Today the cast was removed and all broken bits have healed nicely!!!!

Before that I had actually completed a project:

Its the quilt top - Phoebe's Garden designed by Faeries in My Garden. I got this a a block of the month a couple of years ago! Im really happy with the end result and now I just need to choose a backing fabric and get stuck into the quilting! Perfect weather for it at the moment.

I will try really hard to get back here soon!

Noah's Ark

This is the first block from Lynette Anderson's free BOM.! Didnt take long at all to stitch! My friends Helen and Lynda are also stitching this one as well.

(Its a fairly blurry picture but gives you the general idea)

The things that I have been making .........

Here are some pictures of what I have been making!

The first photos are what I made my very good friend Lisa for her birthday .............

.......some cushions from a panel ;

a bookmark ;

and this cute card which has beads for sprinkles

Then there were some suffolk puffs and a teddy heart hanging for some people who needed some support through some tough times .................

"Blair" bear for another friend's birthday

The mug bag for Lyndy which was the first of the Prim Treasures Swaps for 2008.

I made this pig for a friend who collects them instead

of giving her a birthday card.

And the latest thing finished is this little bear which is for a friend of Alysa's......

If you have made it down to here thank you for showing an interest! I am currently working on quilt for me (Vintage Bears) and the Prim Treasures Cinderberry Stitches swap for Razzy

I have also made something for Vix for her birthday but cant show you a photo yet - the parcel wont be there until today or tomorrow!

Happy Birthday to ..............

ME!!!!!!

Today is my birthday! 38 - wow!

Spent the day not doing much at all - which is what its all about I reckon! Becca and Cam had a tae kwon do demonstration to attend so after they were deposited there Alysa and I went to the shopping centre! The only thing we brought was lunch. Then off to spotlight to purchase some DMC for a project for a special someone whose birthday it is soon and I got some calico as well - can never have enough of that stuff!

For dinner we treated ourselves to chinese takeaway from the little shop around the corner - yummo!

To help you all celebrate with me I think I might do a small giveaway! Im not sure what yet but it will be something handmade so if you would like to receive my birthday present to you just leave me a comment. I will randomly select two winners in two weeks

To all that are having a birthday really soon - hope its a great one!

A lot has been happening.............

I havent posted on my blog for ages! Sorry to those that think Ive dropped off the face of the earth.

A lot has been going on in my life - most of which Im not going to blog about. If you really want to know - email me.

I have managed to fit in some sewing time and that has been my escape. Ive made some birthday presents and fulfilled my requirements for this year's Prim Treasures swaps so far (ok - its only been one this year!).

I will get around to posting some photos very shortly of all that I have been busy with.

At the moment I have just discovered on Lynnette Anderson's Blog that she is giving away a BOM pattern for her Noah's Ark Quilt! The bunnies are very cute so I cant wait to see the rest. I have just printed out the pattern and will add it to the list of things to do - which is growing very quickly I might add.

Off to do the boring stuff (housework) and then perhaps a little stitching time on the next Prim Treasures swap (Cinderberry Stitches design) all before work at 4.30pm
