I'm back at work - can't you tell. Paid, lovely, paid work, without lovely childrens. I've become one of those people who wistfully gaze at their offsprings' photos and artwork on the wall of the office - ok cubicle... and delight in engaging unsuspecting worky type people in the intricacies of being 4...

Found this baby on the road in kerbside clearout version 2011.2 - love it?

This tasty bite was created with PhotoToaster
so very too much happening here.
seems to be a flurry of teeth and drool, weaning and rejected food and jobs and odd jobs and birthday frenzy...

three months laterrrrr

finished:
one flew over geo quilt
back of geo quilt
bernie quilt

I have been adding progress reports to 'Our Creative Spaces' and although this was finished a week ago, felt I should show it to you - thanks for demanding it, you are way more interested than the real world....

Oh the details: Started with this barkcloth... Settled on this pattern from Kate, then added some stuff according to this little colour whip-up... An old tablecloth was sacrificed, and all ended up being bound in Heather Ross guitars, as that arrived at the right time?! All in all, a very imperfect but much cherished little first quilt from me!

creative scrappy bits

my first ever quilting non-masterpiece will have three square and one rounded corner, thanks to the wonders of my crafting prowess... (this was anything but a planned execution).

These are the offcuts
scraps

Here for more wondrous of craftiness

my creative space (is a bit of a shambles)

sewed up (sorry pause, just heard the black cockies overhead and raced out - god i love those birds), some cushion covers for my cousin helen and mark's holiday house in North Beach, and got so excited about my speediness, that I sewed one of the backy bits on the wrong way, inside out. Never one to unpick, i decided to embellish the back with a bit more wonk, on something from here. She will TOTALLY get it.

for helen

more ordered and civil things here
