I have joined in a great idea from JustB on Facebook. More details here. The theme is A month of A-Z and as we are at day 2, today’s letter is B.
Here are my Boys on the Beach..I’m going to do an Art Quilt based on this one day.
I’m also going to add Ben in a Bubble because it looks like so much fun and he loved it!
Machine stitching hexagons sure is fiddly, but they come out kinda pretty …
I made a modern cot quilt this week as well. I fell in love with the colours of this fabric range a while ago so just had to buy it. I have finally done something with it. I have another … Continue reading
This lovely little china doll was one of my special friends when I was a child. I saved her to pass down to my own daughter, but that isn’t going to happen (mum of 3 boys and NO more babies!). … Continue reading
What a fabulous day today. We had a bit of a family reunion..various members who haven’t been seen for many years combined with regulars to have a beautiful picnic at a beautiful place. If you are ever visiting the Sunshine … Continue reading
A few days ago, my two youngest sons were both out having fun with friends, leaving me and my big boy at home alone. We decided to have some fun with spraying and stamping!. I collected a bunch of white … Continue reading
Today was a day for inspiration. A TV show was being filmed at our local beach and they wanted a bunch of local kids down there flying kites..who were we to say no!. Especially when it’s a kids show, and one of the shows my kids watch!.
The sky was ablaze with colour, and the air was ablaze with sound!. Fifty or so screaming children, running around with kites on a picture perfect afternoon. I of course took a million photos.
Photos for me are all about capturing the memory of the moment, in order to someday transfer some of it into some form of artwork…it’s not actually about the photo. Having said that, I really wanted to share some that I took today. I can see quilt inspiration everywhere.
My boys. I like the simplicity of this..and the one boy running away..he does that!
Escaping out the side
It’s all about the colours!
Colours again
The joy of it!
This one I love, the way the sun shines through the kite, the lamp post, the moon and the dragon!..the moon wasn’t out though!
This one is all about the pattern caused by the sun, fabulous!
So that was our afternoon in the sun. Now we just have to wait till September to see if the boys made it onto the show!
My big news for the day is the opening of my brand new website!.. I have collaborated with a couple of friends to offer a range of hand crafted goodies. We are offering loads of great items and tonight only have some special items up for grabs for only their postage price. This is for regular post withing AUSTRALIA. If you are outside Australia and want to purchase, let me know and I can get a postage quote. Click the image above to have a peek…..
Something different from me today. My son has a very special little friend who is turning 5 in a couple of weeks. I wanted to make her something for her birthday, and this is what I came up with. It is a name Quilt, to hang on her wall.
I hope she likes it!
Last night while I was snuggled up under my quilt watching telly, I thought how nice it would be to have a quilt to wear. The weather has suddenly turned cold here, winter is definitely upon us, so my thoughts … Continue reading
