Hard to believe it already been over 2 MONTHS since Sew It Together! About time I blogged about it. Seeing as though I claimed it as the best/worst weekend of my life ;)
So my weekend start with catching up with my gorgeous high school friend for loads of coffee and shopping at DFO….including half price Birks and a $10 dry season dress! Woohoo!
Shelly was kind enough to drop in off in the city where I meet the lovely
Lisa from the princess and the monkey who I was sharing a room with the first night. We shopped, we ate, we talked, I froze! Twas lovely, I got ‘the call’, but we had cake so life was gooooooood!
Gift from Lisa with yard and hook :)
Next morning, I must confess, I was a little worried. Actually A LOT! I had arranged to share a room for two nights with someone I had never meet…..she might be creepy. She might fart. She might snore. She doesn’t have kids so I might just bore her to death. Plus I don’t know how to talk to ‘grown ups’! Turns out she does fart, she is a little creepy, I did bore her at times, and well, she really isn’t a grown up! And she is totally my new bbff (blogging best friend forever)! So obviously we hit it off and even had cupcakes for breakfast!!
Abbe, my dear, you rock my little world ;)
Anyway, back on track, Friday afternoon SHOPPING!!
I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves ;)
Ink & Spindle was the highlight! Those girls are totally awesome! Can’t wait to use my little pile of lovelies

We ended the evening at
Nicole's for a tour and more shopping….plus some much need wine and food and wine. Again I was really excited and really nervous. No secret my first blog crush was/is
Dearfii. Plus Fi too was sharing the room with me and Abbe......oh the fun we had…...what happens at SIT, stays at SIT ;) Anyway I am happy to say Fi is just as gorgeous and lovely as I thought she would be. Actually, probably more so ;)
The totally hilarious
Trash tried to teach me crochet……and, well, kinda failed. Not Trash’s fault, believe me!! Yarn is not my friend (
Kirsty has had more luck, more on that in another post)
Fi showed me how to make her tiny ¼” hexie’s. New obsession!! And Corrie had hexy kits for everyone! So lucky!
Cass had organised a sample swap. So excited with my pressies!! So much fun!! Sadly in the madness I have no pics of what I made. But they were awesome. Yes they were ;)
There were prizes. I was tempted to tackle a
pregnant Kiwi lady for her
score and I resisted ;) We were all so incredibility lucky that there were so many fabulous sponsors and supporters. Please support them where you can! See
here for details
4.30 was kick out time. Of course I was one of the last to leave. The extra lovely and extra gorgeous
Corrie and
Julie came up for more chatting and crafting before heading out for tea.
Tea was fab. I think. Don’t really remember what I ate. There was just soooo much talking and laughing.
Trash and I talked politics. I meet a fellow
home birth mum who makes her son dance for cheese. Some
awesome Daylesford bloggers that made the trip down for tea. I laughed so much I cried! It really was amazing

We all said our goodbyes on Sunday
L But Abbe and I weren’t done just yet. We travelled out to Daylesford to hang out some more with the gorgeous
Kate and family. A very
dear friend of mine made the trip up from Horsham to say hi. So great to see her. Bit sad not knowing when we’ll make the trip down south again.
And then, it was over. Abbe dropped me at the airport. And then I was home, well, back to reality.
Sheridan and her right hand lady
Donna did an amazing job! A thousand thank you girls, to you and your families. It can’t have been an easy job. Please sign me up for next year. Although I might have to bring the whole family to Sydney just in case ;)
I did learn one very important thing while at SIT……
Said by Fi, stiched by me xox
