Mummy's heart

It's the end of the month, and Mum has quilted 3 more quilts for me.

Neverland, quilted in tinkerbelles.

Be your own kind of beautiful, a boho tribute.

Up, up and away .... a fun quilt for young boys. Quilted by Mum with allover clouds.

 Biggest morning tea time.

 Mmmm yummy, look at all of these.

What have you got? Mummy's heart, that's what. x

Monkey Too- Tada!

Ta-da!! Another quilt finished for the year.

There have been so many little items made this year, it's awesome to have some quilt finishes too. And a few more this year to come. I have two quilts to finish for the Townsville Show in July.

I love stripey fabric for bindings!

And this one even has a stripey backing.

These were the last pieces of a jelly roll that went together to make a total of 3 little quilts. I would say that has been pretty good value!

Quilted by Mum with jumping sock monkeys... it's a gorgeous quilt!

Lily of The Valley Quilt

I bought this charm pack, and the colours are so vivid, fresh, modern and exciting. 

I thought it would make a great lap quilt with wide appeal.

This one is quilted by Mum with a gorgeous large French kind of flowy design.

Perfect for the cold weather descending upon us already.

I have another couple that just need binding.

I've been waiting for good weather for having a quilt sitting on my lap.

The cold snap is here in Far North Queensland, it's slipper weather!

Getting closer

Are you ready for the plastic bag ban?

I'm not sure that it means I have to buy 40 green bags and fill the boot with them, then forget to take them into the supermarket....

But I will buy 2 clothes baskets to keep in the car. After the shopping goes through the checkout, it will go back into the trolley then unload from trolley to the baskets in the car. Then just carry baskets inside. Much longer lasting than the bags Coles will be selling.

And then there are the cute totes I have been maknig, mostly for clothes shopping and post office runs, that sort of thing.

Banning bags

The plastic bag ban is getting closer. Today I enjoyed making some netting bags for fresh produce. 

I used a pretty satin drawstring through the top.

And then I had a brainwave that these bags could also be used to organise things so that you can see their contents. It's quite annoying when I find bits of these jigsaws everywhere, except where they shold be! Ha! Especially a knobbly jigsaw piece underfoot.

And here is another shopping tote, because I am crazy about these.

My greatest creation

And  here is my best creation yet, and still evolving... 

he is a creative being too.

Runs in the family.

 I've taken him to the library for something called "Messy Play", so he is wearing dark colours and washable shoes.

Ooh, I will just cook these.

Mine!

And this one is mine! Frida, ooh she gives me shivers. <3 br="" nbsp="">
And I  love to wear red lipstick and flowers in my hair too.

This shopping tote is going straight into my handbag!
