In and Out at Lilly Pilly

What went out? A gift for Rosie

Thank-you for my kitty!

What came in? Mail of course!!

Lovely books from the Book Depository, don't you love that Teddy Bear!

....and a surpirse package from Brianna of Rolling In Fabric, that I had forgotten all about!

I won a giveaway on her blog! 4 FQ's and the cutest little kit to make a Matryoshka brooch.

Thank-you Brianna, now I need to find the perfect project for these lovely fabrics!

Put an end to Brutality!

http://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/animals/live-export/ban-live-export please sign the petition for Getup to join the fight against Live Animal Exports to Indonesia (and the Middle East). They will be going to Parliament today, this morning, with Animals Australia and the RSPCA.

Click the link and add your email address. We must stop this cruel, inhumane and barbaric practice IMMEDIATELY. The Australian tax payer is actually contributing to this practice too which may come as a surprise to you

Books and Flowers

I have the loveliest of friends, one who recently returned from adventures in the US bought these back for me, the Nancy Halvorsen one is even signed!

I spent all last night drooling over these books, the Anni Downs book is a must have if you're a fan of her whimsical characters, there's some gorgeous projects to keep you busy for hours!

Thank-you H and next time I'm going with you!

And I just have to show you these....

teeny-tiny crocheted flowers from Jack'n'Jill, great for all crafts!

Stitching Around the Block

Well my Stitching Around the Block has gone full circle and has arrived home.

The centre was completed by Moi, the second row by Kez, the third by Bec and the last by Dawnie. Thank-you ladies for joining me in this project and thank-you to Helen for providing us with the pattern. They've all done such a lovely job!

I might turn it into a cushion unless anyone has any other fabulous ideas.

Lucky Girl

Yes, that's me, I'm a lucky girl!

Look at the great prize the lovely Shell and Harrington from The Rasberry Rabbits sent me for their 700th Follower Giveaway...

all beautifully wrapped, those chockies disappeared very quickly and I'll try the tea a bit later...

two fabulous books full of altered art projects! I was engrossed in them for hours last night, oohing and aahing over some cute things to make. I need to buy myself supplies now to have a go at soldering, can't wait to give it a try!

Thank-you so much Shell and Harrington!
