Hello lovely tranquil people...I do hope you had a terrific weekend.
Due to a great deal of this...
There was a lot of pottering about...literally...
lettuce, cherry tomatoes and lemon basil (I know, I hadn't heard of that one either!
And Sarah, I promise to get the slayer a proper tag one day :)
I started to make a softie from a kit I bought at Spotlight...for the Softies for Mirabel Project 2010 (I do hope a kit is acceptable!). These are for kids orphaned or abandoned due to their parents' drug addiction...a really good cause. Softies need to get to Melbourne by 7 December if you'd like to make one...check out the link for all the details.
I've almost finished another pincushion...this one's hot pink...
and with the left over bits of the stuff you do the tapestry on (what is that called?), I made a couple of bookmarks...
and I tackled the huge pile of unread magazines that I have lying around...these are but a sample!
...which leads me to the subject of that ghastly wall colour that I've allowed you a glimpse of...which I am pleased to say will be no more by 17 December. Tiny came through with a reasonable quote and his team arrive on the 13th for a week. Yes, there will be before and afters!
And here are some scanned photos from one of the magazines that I managed to demolish...a fabulous Adelaide home in Belle magazine...love it to bits.
So I guess you could say I spent quite a bit of time sitting on my butt this weekend!! But (ha!) I was also a very lucky blogger and won a gorgeous book on Simone's blog yesterday...this one...
It will be very happy here I'm sure, especially when my walls are painted white :) Thank you so much Simone...go and say hi if you haven't already...Honey and Fizz is a blog full of gorgeousness.
A very warm hello and welcome to new readers. I really do hope you enjoy your visits. And lastly, but certainly not least...thank you so much for all your lovely comments about my post on Rose. She truly was special.
