help me to dream on!?!?!?! PLEASE!!!


ok, so maybe i have pregnancy brain, maybe i shouldn't sew when i am this tired, maybe i should learn to count better, but i got my beautiful dream on charm pack in the mail today, and couldn't wait to get started. i really want to do a disappearing nine patch with sashing, to make a baby quilt. i was sewing my nine patches together as i went, when i got to my last pile, and realised i was 3 squares short....NNNNOOOOO!

i don't have ANY fabric that i can add in that is a match, so here's my request! Does anyone have a square to spare??? can you spare a square??? PLEASE!!! i will cover postage (i am in OZ- as in Australia, not the magical land of OZ- although if this works, then maybe it is magical hehe!) if you can help!?!?!??!

Am i dreaming...can i dream...on...and finish my quilt, or should i just bite the bullet and get another charm pack.....

lets sleep on it and see what happens.....

Nighty night

Today I...

Today Kalan and I slept in until 7, and where greeted by a lovely cup of tea, smiles and kisses from Daddy...

Today I did some work for a client- booking a holiday from Brisbane to Hong Kong, then onto Cairo, then Athens, Santorini, back to Athens, back to Cairo, onto Bangkok, via Sydney then home again...phew...

Today I attempted the Babes in Arms at the local cinema. Got half way through Duplicity when Kalan decided enough was enough, so I drove home, missing the end of the movie, to put him to bed....

Today I planned my friends surprise homecoming visit with her- LAX to BNE early April, for a quick 5 day dash! Gotta keep that one a secret!!!

Today I accidentally learned the name of one of my best friends unborn baby...oops, better not tell her I know :o (

Today I cooked a mean pasta for us, and a wicked vege mash for babes...

Today I did more sewing on my Moda Nest stacked coin quit, its gonna be heavenly, and just in time for the cooler weather!

Today I did some re-organising of the book shelf...

Today I once again ate too many M&M's...but SO yum!

Today I finally put away my stack of nappies that have been waiting to be folded for too many days now...

Today I put some of Kalans teeny tiny socks and singlets into his box of teeny tiny clothes...needed to make room for the 'big boy' stuff!

Today I spent many happy hours helping Kalan learn to crawl! These are the best days xx

Today I...well I thinks that's enough for one day....night night ; )

Sleepy time..

Kalan has been asleep for SO long today, which is fantastic, as I have caught up on lots of jobs, but I am sad as I have no fabric here and no sewing to do... I am waiting on some fluffy mail to arrive. I have just gone crazy and ordered some charm square packs from Moda- my favourite designer of the minute is Tula Pink, and I have ordered 2 lots of the Nest charm squares, and also Soiree, to do a gorgeous little cot blanket...

So even though I havent done any sewing, I have had a chance to get some shots of Kalan's original quilt, which I thought I would show you. I love this one, its made with Moda charm squares, by Tula Pink (of course!) in the Full Moon Forest range...LUSH!














Finished quilt!

OK- it is finally done..Dont really know how I feel about this one yet, I have too many other projects on my minds and found myself rushing through to get this one finished so I can start on something much more lovely! I really cant wait to start jmy oriental quilt...

But, this one is still pretty special..hopefully my Grama will think so, as it is her birthday in a couple of weeks and it is to be her gift. I figuered anything hand made is a treasure- lets hope she agrees : )

It is quite a large quilt- about a double bed size, lovely for snuggling up with! It is made with 2 charm square packs from Moda (love, love!) and some great co-ordinating fabrics for the borders.

I have some dodgy pic's to follow- hope they look ok!
