Sew-Along Fabric Bucket

Just finished another item for the NC Sew-Along. This month (June) we have the option of 2 projects, a fabric bucket and/or an apron. I know it's not June yet, but i just couldn't wait...

I made my bucket to match my pincushion...

Here's the link for the Fabric Bucket Pattern

A Recipe for All Mothers...

I got this at an ABA meeting ages ago and have had it on the fridge door, just thought I'd share it...

Today I seft some dishes dirty,

The bed I made at 3:30,

The nappies soaked a little longer,

The odour grew a little stronger,

The crumbs I spilt the day before,

Are staring at me from the floor.

The fingerprints, there on the wall,

will likely still be there, next fall,

The dirty streads on the window panes,

Will still be there next time it rains.

"Shame on you old lazy-bones," I say,

"And just what have you done, today?"

I nursed a baby till he slept,

I held a toddler while he wept,

I played a game of hide & seek

I squeezed a toy, so it would squeak,

I pulled a wagon, sang a song,

Taught a child right from wrong.

What did I do this whole day through?

Not much that shows, I guess it's true...

Unless you think that what I've done

Might be important to someone

With bright blue eyes and soft blonde hair

If that is true, I've done my share.

That's my house all over...right down to the blue eyes & blonde hair!!

Sew-Along Pincushion

I just finished a pincushion for the Nappycino 'Sew-a-long' - Here's my attempt at it. It turned out huge (approx. 18cm across) It'd be nicer if it was a little smaller though but I'm not going to make another one...it was quite fiddly so if the pattern was smaller, it'd be even fiddlier and I don't want another one that desparately!!














Here's a link to the pattern if you're interested:

The Kids went fishing with Dad...

Here is Ella & Alister with a Murray Cod they caught with Dad this weekend. Only about 30cm...not big enough for the pan!!
Ella caught a nice Yellow Belly last weekend...haven't got the pic of it on this computer, I'll have to find it and will post it another time.

Welcome

Hi,
Welcome to my new blog page.
This will be interesting as I really have no idea what I'm doing here!!
I'm not even sure what I will write about or what I will post but I guess time will tell...
Now I'm off to see what else I can do here...
Cheers,
Sandi
