Colour on a dreary day

Melbourne often feels so bleak on a wintry day....possibly made worse with the uniform of black that anyone who resides here tends to adopt. To buck the trend I think I'll pick a colour to brighten my day tomorrow!

Red

My oldest and dearest friend, Jess, is having a baby in June. VERY exciting. Anyway, I have collected gifts along the way for bub unknown but with Jess being such a close pal, I wanted to give her something more personal. The gender of bub is unknown, but the theme for the nursery is red. I experimented with a design on the comupter and a took a trip to Amitie on the weekend. These beautiful fabrics will, hopefully, come together to be part of my first ever attempt at a blanket. I am going along to a class at Amitie next week to get some guidance. Fingers crossed I can pull this off!

Getting crafty

My divine niece, Alana, celebrated her first birthday recently. I really wanted to give her something unique that she would have for years to come. Having made her a softie for christmas(a monkey who, opps, doesn't have a tail!) and with leftover fabric plus feeling decidely crafty, I thought I'd make her a special cushion. Thanks to Onegirldesignwrks, I didn't have to attempt my own pattern. The very talented Leslie has created a goregous Fleur pattern - this is my interpretation.

So, here goes

I'm not sure what this blog will be about....I'll probably ramble about life, share things that inspire me and waffle on about whatever my latest fad happens to be. So, here goes....
