First Snow 2008

Had to share this with you, this is the view from my office window - Mt Wellington with the first snow for 2008. Snow gets down to about 600m on average here, rarely does it land in my backyard. It is very picturesque though and I love looking up at the mountain.

More Boobie Buttons

Bloghop over to Hugs 'n Kisses as Helen has posted some more pics of the Boobie Button samples I made for her to take to the US. Keep an eye out for these at your local patchwork store, they're easy to do and a great embellishment to add to your next project.
How would you use them?
Helen will also be releasing a book soon so keep a eye out for that one as it's sure to be a "must have."

I hope to post some pictures soon, just waiting for my camera to come back from the west coast!

Giveaway at Lynette's

Tilly, Milly and Molly

I'm having a busy long weekend. Two of the projects I can't show you, one is a mini quilt for Lucy Locket and the other a pincushion for a secret swap partner.

I can show you this as I've just completed a pattern by My Favourite Things called "Tilly, Milly and Molly". I fell in love with these three girls at a gathering I went to in April. I love that their arms are linked. I just have to find a home for them in my craft room.

Doll and Bear Show

Today Sarah and I visited a Doll and Bear Show. The exhibitors were all local craftspeople, there was antique dolls, teddy bears, clothing and materials for sale.

I bought some knitted overalls for my teddy "Hamish" that I made back in 1998.

The beanie and scarf in the next photo were purchased at our local school fair last year, this colour green is my favourite colour.
