Fog, bunnies and leaves

Bunny and I enjoying a peaceful little spot in the sunshine

I think these are the last of the autumn leaves. They are sheltered and still hanging on tightly to the branches. 

Fog in the valley this morning - it cleared by school run time to a beautiful day though.

Pj's and more

Matching PJ's have put a big smile on Miss Bee's face tonight :-)

Lovely rain this week on the autumn leaves. Not many that aren't on the ground now though.

Yummy cinnamon scrolls for Saturday brunch

A fabric delivery or two...

This little fellow is still getting plenty of love and attention

A bunting commission for Helm

A little while ago I received a commission to make bunting for a new Bistro in Surfers Paradise. The theme was nautical but in less traditional colours of yellow, aqua and watermelon. Along with stripes, spots and chevron there is also the nautical alphabet, of which I didn't even know existed until then!

I received an email today sharing some photo's of where it is hanging. 

So here is almost 100 metres of SparrowBee bunting hanging at Helm.

Flower sugar sewing

The pretty flower sugar fabrics are in high demand at the moment and hard to find anywhere. I am using my precious scraps on these pretty cushions.

This one was a present for a little friend.

I've been looking for a white bed for Missy here for a while and finally found one last week. $60 and only a couple of streets away! It's a day bed style and with the promise of some new cushions it was an immediate hit. So as promised here is the first cushion. 

The little heart at the bottom in the chevron fabric was a total fluke and a lucky one given that missy wanted the quilting in a heart pattern and I opted for easier curvy lines.

Still on the flower sugar theme, a single quilt in the 2010 range is underway.

Flower Sugar 2013 is starting to hit the stores for preorder - here is a slightly blurry pic to give you an idea. 

I love the big floral and spots but I'm not sold on the gingham yet. Maybe I will change my mind when I see it for real. Still it's all so sweet and pretty.

Swish Vintage

Little Miss enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at a friends party styled and catered by Swish Vintage Canberra. The girls and boys all thoroughly enjoyed dressing up in pearls, hats, gloves and special dresses for their high tea. I'm kicking myself I didn't take my camera so these iPhone ones will have to do.

May

I've been doing a lot of rag quilting, my new favourite thing to make :-)

Fiery autumn colours in our front yard

It's perfect weather in the capital, clear blue sunny days after a morning frost.

A coast stay, a farm stay..

..visitors to stay and just like that the holidays are over.
