Aussie Hero Stuff

Starting to look forward. Local newsagent had these puzzle books reduced. Perfect for the care packages for Aussie Heroes.

 Cut batting for 3 quilts. There has been some changes in the household. My lovely Meggie cat passed away and things came to a stop while grieving. House has been cleaned top to bottom, We now have 2 new cats in our house hold rescue pets from the Cat Protection Society in Greensborough. More on that later.

Cards And Quilt In Progress.

Just recently via Facebook I got in touch with a friend from way back, when I was making dolls and toys in a group called Diamond Dollies. Like myself she has moved on to different interests and hers is photography. Bevlea Ross is now a photographer, Beautiful works indeed. She very kindly sent me a couple of packets of her wonderful cards. Stunning works of art. My Aussie Hero recipients will be very happy indeed. Thank you so very very much. Do check out her work it is stunning. Here are her details.

Shopping.

 

Left my house today, the first time in 3 weeks I went out with my husband. Spotlight shopping. Armed with my $40 off voucher when you spend $100. Spent a total of $108 and all these were half price clearence fabrics, $2 a metre and the batik $3 a metre. Got home and added it up. Saved just over $700. I am thinking quilt backs and laundry bag linings. A Good day indeed
