Blogtoberfest Day #29 ~ Quilting

I am attempting to finish off my dolls quilts for this years EB Dolls Quilt Swap. Post day is today, but I am running behind, luckily opening day isn't until the 5th November, so I still have time to get it in the post before then. I wanted to test myself out by trying a quilting technique I hadn't done before, so here is my first attempt
And a sneak at how I am going so far with the dolls quilt. About half way through so far, I am hoping to get the quilting finished tonight and then its just the label and binding to go.

Blogtoberfest Day #25 ~ At My House

Lego building had been happening at our house this morning. It really does amaze me how creative my 4 year old little man can be.
Why not pop on over to Lou's blog and join in the fun : )

Blogtoberfest Day #22 ~ PINK!

Not the singer that is, but tonight is a PINK Fundraiser Shopping Night at our local hall. The car is packed, even though it is walkable distance for me, just not so with all the gear for the stall - trestle table, suitcases, rack and baby in the pram, lol. 18 stallholders of arts, craft, food, wine and more - plus LOTS of door prizes and giveaways happening throughout the night. More details here : ) I'm looking forward to a fantastic night and maybe even a spot of eary Christmas shopping!

Blogtoberfest Day #21 ~ Where have I been?

Giving this little bloke lots of cuddles.
It seems he has developed a serious case of seperation anxiety and can't go a minute without mummy out of his sight, hmmm. Not much sewing had been happening, a few late nights and early mornings are beginning to happen now and I am slightly stressing about not being ready for Mathilda's Markets at the end of this month in Adelaide.
I am sure I have plenty of stock, I would just prefer to have too much stock than not quite enough ; ) I still have 3 quilt tops to put together, quilt and bind that I would love to get finished for the market, not to mentioned the 30 or so dresses in various stages; cut out, need overlocking, just need hemming, just need labels & elastic threaded that are patiently waiting to be finished.
Oh well, lets see how today goes . . .

Blogtoberfest Day #15 ~ Patiently waiting . . .

for this to arrive : )
The new Nikon D3100. I ordered this new camera earlier in the week at a local camera store and am (not so paitently) waiting for it to come in. Complete with 18-55mm & 55-300mm lenses, a bag, tripod and extra 2 year warranty I couldn't pass on that deal. This model was released just last month and also features full HD video.

Blogtoberfest Day #14 ~ My Creative Space

Today I am busy with market preps for Mathilda's Markets in Adelaide at the end of the month. Headscarves, drawing wallets and crayon rolls on today's list of things to achieve . . . provided my 3 little helpers are happy to all nap at the same time and give mummy a spell : )
