Another little project

This is a little project I completed recently as a practice for a new pattern which I bought a while back...Some time ago I was given some retro'ish fabrics and decided to use some of them on this project...I gave it to a work colleague who had been particularly supportive whilst I was going through a difficult time...the face panel was included with the pattern from here.

Finished Projects

Just thought I'd show a couple of completed projects...the first is a quilt for "Another Little Quilt Swap"...have a look at some of the lovely quilts which have been made...I will be receiving one of them in the next little while....

This framed picture is of some lace coasters which my friend Sue made for me at Christmas and I have finally managed to mount and frame them....I am really pleased with how they turned out...thanks Sue....

More photos

Here are some more photos which I took of some of David Bromley's Artwork....I tried to link to some information about the artist but the site didn't load properly....so just enjoy these photos....

Relaxing weekend

Hi all...long time no blog....this weekend I have spent a lovely relaxing time around the area of Daylesford in Victoria.  I drove up early Friday morning as I had booked a day at the Hepburn Bath House and Spa...starting with a couple of hours in the bath house and sanctuary, then lunch and after lunch, a 1 hour massage....I was so very relaxed after this "self care"...something I haven't done before....Then on Saturday I spent the day enaging in one of my favourite past-times...stitching...at the Daylesford Craft Experience at this gorgeous place...the 3 designers who had provided patterns for us all were Melly (of Melly and Me), Jodie (of Vintage RicRac) and Annette (Eriksson).. each had designed 3 patterns of very different styles, but I think you would be hard pressed not to find something to ones liking....

These photos are of Lake Daylesford and I was able to walk to the lake from back of the studio where I was staying

On Sunday I went and had a look at an antique place on the outskirts of town which was mentioned on this site earlier in the week and I thought I would take the opportunity to see it for myself....what an amazing collection of antiques, furniture and art work....I will post some more photos throughout the week....

Isn't this sculpture fun?

After I left Daylesford I headed to Castlemaine where I just had to visit this shop...called "Habadash"....it sells vintage and antique buttons, lace, ribbons and other wonderful sewing ephemera....these are my purchases from there...
