It has been so hot here lately! Yesterday it was around 42 degrees Celcius on our patio. I am glad we have air con!!!
Late yesterday the kids and I got sick of staying inside so we went out and got the paddling pool out. The kids really enjoyed filling it up with the hose and then jumping in it. I sat near them with my feet in the water reading (something I wish I had more time to do!!) and I felt cooled right down even though it was still up in the very high 30's!.



Luckily it was getting slightly overcast outside with the kids running around, but it is nice and shady undercover.



Good news! I actually finished the Santa Bag that I was making for my Mum to hand out lollipops in! On time too for once!



I am hoping that today I can get some more sewing done. I had been helping a friend of mine cover some cushions. She thought she couldn't do it, but she did and they look great!!!!

Until next time!

It is December already??

I can't believe that Christmas is literally right around the corner! It seems to have snuck up on me this year!

I have been busy helping my Mum decorate her house with lights. Her street is all lit up and it all looks beautiful. I managed to get sunburnt whilst helping with the lights. But luckily it seems to be going now.

Last night we went to my husbands' work Christmas Dinner. We had a good time and got back home at 2am which is something we never do and now we are both really really tired.

I am sad to say that I haven't had much time to make anything but I have had ideas of what I want to do going through my head each day and it is frustrating to me that I can't put it into practice. Things just seem to crop up all the time, oh and I have discovered Facebook and been playing a couple of games on there. I had no idea just how addictive it is!

But I do have a couple of pictures of a quilt I am making to share, I am excited to be able to document the progress of it.

This is the block in the two different colourways:



And it is quite amazing that when lots of them are put together it can look like this:



This is actually going to be a quilt for our bed once it is finished. Hopefully next year!

I have been trying to make things to sell and so far I have managed to sell some bags, cushions, table runners and some crayon rolls to a group of ladies that I know. I am excited!! I mean I like what I make, but to have people buy it makes me feel proud that I made something that other people like too! Yay! Plus I am going to an opening of a new craft store and I get to take that money to spend there if I see anything that I really really want then and there! How exciting!!

Unfortunately I am unable to joing Mayya in her Sew It group this fortnight, I have been travelling backwards and forwards and busy busy lately, otherwise I would have done it too.

Craft shop tomorrow - YAY!
