Coming along...

For me to complete a project seems to something of the past. I have heaps of UFO's laying around but nothing seems to be getting finished, maybe I should have made a new years resolution!

This is my lastest UFO

Engagement invitations...

The dates are set, the engagement party is almost organised and the wedding reception is booked! I cant believe it, thanks to the Christmas slow period...

I will hopefully have some sewing to show in the next few days.

merry Christmas...

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and if you are driving a safe trip.

This is what we will be lucky enough to be eating all day tomorrow....

Mars bar slice, Chocolate spiders, Apricot and coconut truffles, Chocolate and Walnut fudge and Peppermint and Chocolate truffles YUM! Just hope they last the car trip...
I have not been doing much sewing, to much planning! I did sew this wristlet and passport holder for my cousin, fabric is perfectly her.
I should be back after Christmas with some sewing, the entire weekend after Christmas is reserved for some sort of sewing!

Diamonds are a girls best friend...

The reason for my absence is because of this...

and now too much of this!

Yes the boyfriend proposed, so now he is my fiance! It was very romantic proposal and he did so well to keep it all a secret. He took two of my girlfriends ring shopping on numerous occasions and I just LOVE it. I just cant wait till the ring is back from the jeweler's from being re-sized. In crafty news, I ordered some decorator weight Alexander Henry 2D Zoo fabric, I just love it and its the perfect baby boy fabric. I have a very important baby arriving early next year and again I am unsure of the gender, so the collection starts!
...and one of my favourite part of Christmas here in Melbourne, eating loads to many of these and having red lips.
Hopefully be back soon... If not you'll find me under a pile of silk in some bridal store!

Avoiding...

I have a few days off work to study, not that much of that has happened! I am spending the time distracting myself from actually sitting down to be absorbed in the books, Acts and Tariffs.

I actually have my fingers crossed that my Doll Quilt swap partner receives her quilt. I don't know what I will do if its lost in the mail, don't even want to think about that! (Edit: SHE HAS IT! YAY!)

Update...

This week I have my last exam for the year. So much preparing not much sewing, I have managed to finish my second block for little bluebirds.
Its was raining most of yesterday. I love wet feet on concrete, reminds me of my childhood.

Cross your fingers for me!

I Heart Blogville...

I really do love my blogville, checking out my favorite designers & crafters blogs to see what beautiful designs they are making and receiving lovely comments. Those comments really make me smile from ear to ear and are what I really love about my blog. So thank you.
This week I have decided I am going to have only two projects going at a time. So I am in completion mode, starting with a few smaller projects.
My Rudy softie by Melly and Me from Honeysuckle Cottage's Christmas Club, my 2nd pin cousin of the month and softie for a special person (fabrics reflect her style)
Hopefully now I will start sleeping better with less projects to think about. My teeth and much better, healing really well.

Have a good weekend

Ouch!

I had all four wisdom teeth taken out on Monday under general anesthetic. Monday, Tuesday and most of Wednesday have been a big blur to me, although I did manage to get some sewing done on my DQ. Three cheers for sick leave!

Thursday was all smiles, I walked outside to see a little parcel at my front door. It was my Doll Quilt made especially for me! I love it, the mix of colour and white, the puffs and buttons are just beautiful. Thank you for much Jody, hope you don't mind that I stole the photo from your blog.

My doll quilt is almost done, just needs a label. This little quilt has a long journey ahead of her and I hope my partner likes it.

Have a good weekend
