The Lithops Are About To Burst Forth Into Bloom

Ross says they are like unicorn farts. Ha ha ha!




View From Our Garden


The view over past Gembrook (Victoria, Australia) at lunch time today.
It's not close to us, nor heading our way but it's shaping up to be a huge fire. Scary.

Overalls In Situ

Too cute and a sweetie as well. Here's the link to the other post and the source of the overalls kit.

Little Jackson's 'The Stitchery' Overalls

I bought the printed overall fabric from The Stitchery when Sadie was little, but left it too late. I did make the Duck pair for her.

I added the bit and the bird, so the straps go longer.

The printed fabric has a lining of the same (red) fabric, but I thought an old checked cotton would look nice. Just plugging through, using my vintage fabrics. The buttons are old too, cut from something or other.

It's Christmas Time Again

I love these little toys. Julie Williams is amazing! Her patterns are sooo cute and extremely well written. I love the new overalls.



I want these overalls for myself.

Footy Rug

Still working on the Footy Rug. Only get to it when I get with the other rug girls so it's slow. But fun. I don't have a complete idea for it yet... a bit of one...

No Name Proddy Rug


Made using TONS of fabrics I've had for years and years and years (plus a little new). My stash is noticeably depleted, in a good way.  
It took almost exactly one month to make. Not a bad effort I do say so mesself.

The back's always more cleanly defined. Plus, the photo's are more distinct than reality. It's just a big fluffy pile of colour, but it feels amazing! So thick!
