blogtoberfest day 10

On the way to camp on Friday, we stopped in for a quick 'howdy' to a few friends.
Nikki had organised the most amazing idea....

Every corner of the studio/townhouse was utilized; lots of yummy food (ensuring leftovers for Nikki of course). Typical bloggers and sewers, Karen, Lara and I all had girls in the Jump Rope Dress! So cute!
I also got lots of cuddle of this little girl, and coveted her outfit; her adorability doesn't come through fully over the blog. She's a cutie patootie!

My girl had a ball, and the 1/2 an hr turned into many; can't wait to do it again, so I'm off to blunt my scissors haha

Quilt

About to run off to bed, but wanted to show this off before I do! I'm so happy with it.
I was planning on using a red for the binding, glad I went with this one! (it was down to amount of fabric left, that's all).

It looks and feels nice and cosy, and are my favourite colours! Thanks,
Spotlight Jelly Roll!


I did some simple hand quilting, in red Perle 8 cotton, and a new trick I learnt from the guru using invisible thread in the bobbin, cotton in the top (see the invisible thread? No? Good).

I must also post about my fantastic day yesterday, my friend here has some great shots, I, typically, forgot about the camera for a change! So today I snapped this one- a huge tin of my new favourite drink from this girl (think I only like this one, though, will have to make some myself!)

She was also responsible for pancakes, cupcakes, and honey jumbles, and is sure invited back ANYTIME! Another clever chickie made us pumpkin pie (thankfully it didn't need a muffin pan haha) and having all the food meant the unopened Tim Tams were mine for later (thanks Cam!)


Another delight were the Snickerdoodles (arriving in vintage Tupperware, such a joy to see). I thought they were safe until Little Miss pointed out they had 'doodle' in their name- can't wait till this age is grown out of! Hang on, do we ever grow out of it? Snickerdoodles, HAR HAR HAR!

Day 18 blogtoberfest

As I was working all day at the Expo, I've not even taken out my camera or looked for something to post about- so here are yesterday's snaps, as taken by little Miss.
Me show Liesel my quilt

Murray at the back door crying because I wouldn't let him in to jump over everyone as he needs a bath


the pumpkin pie my neighbour made the vegie-phobe Cam wouldn't eat (she did taste it, though)

Ah, Crafternoon, come back again soon.
