Little Birds (make me happy)

 I am still sorting through my sewing room. I emptied the last box today. I am getting pretty excited about the room and about all the projects I have started and can start! I came across this book today. It was gifted to me by the lovely Loz when I visited her in July. (I had the best time hanging out with her! She is one of my favourite people. That's the only downer about our move to Melbourne. I see some of my favourite people less now.) I love that she knew just how much I would love this book. I still claim to all and sundry that I am actually not that crazy for birds, but I must be because this book is just divine. Full of inspiration! Check out some of my favourite pages...

Love this sweetie and her shopping

A journal cover (love journal covers!). Absolutely love this applique.

Love, love, love this guy. Love also the gone over a lot lines. That's my kind of quilting!

I'm not that into the current owl craze (yeah, denial again lol) but who wouldn't love these guys? Owls with attitude!

So, will there be some birds featuring soon on my blog? Probably not (yeah, denial!) but will I be reading this book over and over? Yep. It makes me feel so happy! Hope it made you feel happy too!

It's February!

Hard to believe that January 2009 is gone. Hello February! It has been so hot here that we haven't done much more than stay at home in the cool. Well, the coolish. When it is 41 outside even 30 degrees inside feels cool! More proof that everything is relative. Speaking of relatives, this is Mr 8 and Miss 16 on the last day of 2008. I really like my relatives. Being a Mum is hard work, but full of joy too. This photo just makes me feel so happy. I remember following along behind these two and thinking how incredibly great they are. My 300th post is in about four or five posts so hang around to see what great stuff I will be giving away! See you soon!
