What a Way to Start my Day

I have been getting up early lately. After deciding to take on an unwanted dog from a neighbour I have been attending to her in the early hours of the morning when she wakes. This morning was so cold I was wondering how on earth I was going to get out of bed! When I came down the stairs to see Missy (our new  12month old Labrador/family member) I looked out the window and saw this.

 A large flock of Pelicans. In the 4 years I have lived here I have never seen so many altogether.

Wow, how lucky I am to be able to see such a wonderful thing as this.

Happy Monday. Simone.

So excited !

I am so excited I just picked up my chair from the upholsterer. I purchased this gorgeous little chair on ebay and it needed some life, new springs and some new fabric. I just love it ! I covered it in cockatoo beige and duck egg blue fabric! 

Have a great Wednesday everyone Jody x x 

~ Proud ~

Here's my daughter singing in her annual school choir gala dinner.

Promised myself not to get upset but so proud of her. Yep, a little tear.

Can you tell which one she is?

She is the one with her mouth wide open, one front tooth missing and her collar not ironed down properly.

Good on you mum!

Thank goodness the little girl in front also had the same dilemma!

Now I don't feel so bad.

Happy Monday.

Project Day: Customer Creations

Here is another clever customer creation from Jacqueline using our oilcloth fabric. 

Talented Jacqueline had an old horn sewing cabinet from her late grandmother who taught her how to sew which is gorgeous! The cabinet was close to 20 years old and it was flaking and chipped and also housed a fabulous 1950's Singer Sewing Machine.

 Jacqueline cleverly painted and glued the silver paradise oilcloth fabric to the cabinet and voila! 

Congratulations Jacqueline have received a $10 voucher to use in our online store.

If you have made something using our fabrics please send it to us via email.

Have a great weekend everyone Jody and Simone x x x

Little Goes a Long Way

I attended a function at Parliament House last week and it was a little chilly out. 

I thought I would take a scarf, but typical me I had to make it stand out from the crowd!

I simply sewed on some giant white Pom Pom to the edge of my floral scarf.

Easy Peasy.

Yes, there were a few scarfs that day but I think mine was the best!

Happy Monday.
