We had the very bestest time ever.

Nan didn’t put the camera away & I didn’t get it out.

Thursday: trip to Kyo/The Mill/How Bazaar was amazing & of course my regular Melbourne haunts seemed somewhat crap in the shadow of the Day 1 shop. I stitched & laughed ’til I cried.

Friday: Nan hatched an exciting quilted garment plan. There was much swearing & carry on about the quality (or lack thereof) of the Janome & many pro Pfaff arguments were put forward. I stitched & laughed ’til I cried.

Saturday: Shopping for craft supplies & a bit of parental running around for me & a lot of time with the Janome for Nan. I stitched & laughed ’til I cried.

Sunday: Camby Market & back home to the trusty Janome for Nan. I stitched & laughed ’til I cried.

I didn’t feed her (like at all – - – I was too busy stitching & laughing ’til I cried), but I think there’s plenty of nourishment in a Capiroska & I made her plenty of those.

I’ve been very lucky to meet & make some really truly ace real life mates because of this space. Let me tell you…Rummage is one of the best.

Big giant ups to The Date & to The Frenchie too for making it happen.

Hoping that your weekend was fabulous too. x

From the sublime to the ridiculous.

Just the way things are.

Happy weekend to you all.

This made my heart skip a beat.

Five envelopes and then the card. I love the run-on of daught
er.

EDIT: It’s not my birthday – sorry. I thrifted this yesterday. See the date? 1 January 1954.

Happy weekend.

Hugely inspired by Trixie Delicious & my love of stating the obvious. This just gave me a huge giggle.

In the words of teenage girls everywhere “no offence”.

If you know someone who might appreciate this (or something a little less blatant) there’s a template over at Feeling Stitchy today.

A few months back The Date & I went shopping for a hall table. We bought a fabulous old hospital laundry trolley which is doing the job perfectly.

On the same day we purchased these signs which, in a former life were in situ at the Kew Police Station.

The little guy laughed out loud when he came home from school & saw the “mess” sign at the bottom of the stairs.

& this outside the door to the laundry craft room.

This kind of stuff gives me a real kick.
