Hello lovely ladies, just popping in to say Grizz got home yesterday, got kept in an extra night (you didn't know shes a nawty one, did you???) She's having a pretty rough day today, poor ol thing (hehe I'm younger than her)... hopefully its short term pain for long term gain eh?

Psst Coalrange... hope you made that Hancocks order worth while! What tempted you? Sssh don't tell Grizz but my little order from there arrived today... very exciting!

Afternoon ladies ... Just home after spending hours at the craft show in Palm North. Bought heaps and had to make some hard decisions on what to leave behind. My head is simply bursting with ideas and inspiration and now I don't know where to start

Hi :)
gosh where did everyone go ?
Skippie and lviolets I got Anna Griffin Camilla jelly roll strips x2 and quarter cuts x2, i probably should of just bought web sale fabrics but maybe next time, what tempted me ummmm the valentine 15% off lol. What did you get lviolets, I wont tell Grizz haha has Grizz's zombieness worn off or do you think maybe it could be permanent ?
ended up spending from about 11 till 7 tonight out helping with more branches but other than sweeping the bricks tomorrow it is finally finished whew, it started out as only cutting a few branches then turned into trees and it just kept going. we are so glad we didn't realise how much there was to do before we started LOL. we now have at least 4 cord of firewood just from the trees. Garden is still private tho with trees surrounding it.
Bar hope your head doesn't burst eek could be messy haha oooh it sounds an amazing place to go, the other thread about it is all positive too. oooh hope you left something for Jumbo and Skippie to buy hehe :)

Am awake far too early for a Saturday morning. Thanks for the coffee Coalie.
I have a whole day to myself .... Actually I have a whole weekend ... My UCOL home stay left yesterday and my mum is staying in Palm North as she has a cataract op on Monday, so am rattling round with no one to talk to but the cats and dog.
Might get up soon and finish listing some fabrics and then head to the sewing room. Need to empty my head of ideas.
By the way, have the results back for my cat Maisy - she is just fat! Now have to think about how to manage that as the other cat Molly is the opposite and I need to leave food out for her.

Hi all - spoke to Jumbo earlier - her and Skippie are having a ball staying with Skippie's mate in Carterton. They went to the crafty showy thingy today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm guessing that they're heading home tomorrow, so keep your eyes out for tall tales from the wandering craftspeople!

Hope you're all having a good night. I've been sitting here for the last hour willing myself to stay up until I can reasonably go to bed - have been at work all day and I'm shattered! Now it's late enough to go to bed, but I can't be bothered. It's so haaaaard. I have to brush my teeth and...well that's pretty much it. But I'm very tired!

Home again! Laden with goodies...a new cutting board to replace the undulating one that was kissed by the sun, some face stencils for journaling, some Riley Blake fat quarters and six half yard pieces that were $10 a piece...oh...and one more bit that had 20% off. I am happy! On top of that we stayed with skippie's friend who is an avid scrap quilter and has a bigger stash than skippie!
Glad you are feeling better twi. Grizz...hope the pain is subsiding and you improve rapidly. As for the rest of you...nah nah na nah nah...I got the crumbs!

Afternoon all, hope the sickies are all feeling better and Twi you better not get lost in your cupboard. As you can see Jumbo bought loooooooots.
Mwa, not so much. But I did get some patterns, a quilt kit at half price, 6 fat quarters and two rolls of Civil War fabrics( 21 strips of fabrics in each roll). Well I thought I was finished until I saw the fabrics from Malka Dubrowski at theCloth Shop, well I had to have some of that as well, so all in all good contribution to my stash.
The twelve by Twelve exhibition was just Fabulous and a feast to my eyes. The local Quilt group The Rose City Quilters has a great display of quilt works , there was a weaving display from the Professional weavers of NZ all was just lovely and great to see the talent that NZ has. Really hope that we get to see more of that calibre, just great. A fun time was had at my friends who was teaching a group of beginners today, yeh for more quilters. Well I better see how things are in my room and see if I can get motivated to do some stitching today.

Hi Lucy, what do you make ? me I don't make anything flash so I just use a singer featherweight but I love it.
Welcome home to the happy wonderers, ooh sounds like you got some lovely fabrics :) oooh Skippies friend has a bigger stash than Skippie, hmmm Skippie you may have to buy more hehe
Shell so long as your dreaming up sewing ideas then alls good :)
today has gone so fast !

coalrange1 - 2013-02-17 17:25:00
40542

Oopsy...I got some Malka Dubrawsky too! They are unbelievably beautiful...and three magazines for $7.
And the exhibition was fantastico as skippie said. I have the Twelve by Twelve book and to see some of their work was amazing!
This afternoon I bought two classes from Craftsy. Have a look...they have some great classes at reduced prices and once you have got them they are there forever...you can watch them as many times as you like. Google is your friend.

Evening all. I have emerged from the sewing room and have some hand sewing to do tonight. Am making a baby block ...still in 6 pieces but hopefully will be assembled before I go to bed.

well so much for going in my stash cupboard spent the whole day at my mums and sisters place, well it was the lake views that did it, did some crochet a nana nap and fish and chips for tea with eating and lots of cuppas in between
so feel refreshed and eager to go tomorrow into the stash cupboard and i will be home alone as daughter starts her new school tomorrow and son is doing his nursing degree at tech, so will be the first time in months that i will be home alone
skippie and jumbo sounds like a good time was had this weekend :)
