Blogtoberfest Day 12

So another working week has come to a close. 5 full days again, and the usual full time parenting thing. 2nd week in a row, and I'm pooped! Tomorrow is a full day with the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild, where I'll get to meet Rita, ((I'm a bit nervous though!) and see her skills in action  - plus test out this.

I've heard good things- I think it means I'll be able to see better as I'm quilting, and do zigzags etc

I'll be quilting this one- better leave the cat at home! Why are they such suckers for clean white folded fabric?

 So I promise a picture heavy post tomorrow!

It's been busy....

So I finished up work and have had my first holiday in a long time. OK, no holiday, that got cancelled as the broke feeling was coming along....

Murray had a birthday, turning 4! He got a bath for his b'day, and loved rolling in the

 forest in the backyard!

He got a chop toy which he's loving.

We got a Xmas pic (I have to re-scan the Santa photo)

And he grudgingly gave us a Xmas pic.

Xmas Eve saw the girl calling the reindeer's...

and Xmas morning saw the benefits of that! Santa arrived!

with a stash of Littlest Pet Shops and Zhu Zhu pets.

I thought longer term- and the fact I was sharing my baby! And teaching my Little Miss some skills seemed like a good idea at the time. Might not be very cool in the playground, but luckily we don't care what they think.....

So today we sat down and had a lesson in threading...

and of course had to sit together while we did it...

I was in charge of the rotary cutter, she was in charge of fabric and stylin'.

And she turned out some pretty impressive drawstring bags! There will be some hand stitching on the little darker squares.

Perfect for storage for all the Littlest Pet Shops she's acquiring.

Yep, styled all by her!

The first of many adventures!

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and best wishes for 2012.

Giving birth

Out with the old.....

In with the new

(No, def not as painful as giving birth, thought I'd take a leaf out of Jodie's book and confuse the blog searchers heehee. Though not as confusing as her post titled 'anal' must be )
