Drum roll please......
And the winner is #4 which is Kate from Foxs Lane.
Awesome!  I won't post a picture of what the prize is cos it might ruin the surprise!! But for those who won't be in the know, it will be a 500gm parcel post satchel, stuffed with as much crafty goodies as I can get into it - fabric, beads, bag handles, yarn etc etc etc.

Congratulations Kate, I'll send you an email to find out your postal address.

Thanks to everyone for entering, I hope to do another giveaway soon (before the bub is born & I turn into a zombie mummy!!)

My Creative Space

Today I have decided to NOT keep these cute selvedges even though they are cute I have no use for them. I must throw them away, I must, I mean I will but I'll just look at them a little longer before they hit the bin.

Mr is taking me to the beach for a couple of days as my body is really beginning to feel tired from the pregnancy - he's even booked a room with a spa for me to soak my weary bones! Sweet, I can't wait!!!!!

Have you entered my giveaway yet and have you joined in with Kootoyoo's Creative Space?

Aussie $ equals US $ = shopping!

I love shopping online, beats standing in queues and walking around shopping centers with crappy tinny music being piped through the crowds. Plus, add the fact that the US & Aus dollar are almost equal now, it means happy shopping for me.
So far, I've visited Isabella Oliver & bought this dress in blue.
I've perused Etsy and gone back to my fav FableBay and bought this & this.


But what else can you recommend? What is a good US online store that I can waste some good Aussie dollars in?


Oh & have you entered my giveaway yet????

Giveaway

I think it's time for a giveaway!  

The reason?

Well let's see, I've missed my 1st year blog bday, 

I 've missed 100th post celebration, I even missed the 150th post celebration, 

so let's just celebrate life instead!

So, what is up for grabs? Well, how about a surprise! 

It will be a mixed bag of crafty goodies! 

I'll chuck as much as I can into a 500gm post parcel for you, it may contain fabric, jewellery findings, beads, bag handles, yarn, fancy paper, stamps etc etc etc.

If I get lots of entries then I'll create more grab bag prizes.

All you have to do is leave a comment for a chance to win.

(remember to leave a way for me to contact you if you win!)

Good luck!

Cuppa tea time

Yep, it's that time of day already, time for a cup of tea & a slice of cake.

But wait, shall I make it even more tempting for you, how about a slice of home made fruit cake.

Mmm, yummy!

Jelly squares

I've finally managed to find a reason to buy a jelly roll - to make a quilt for the cot.

I love the excitement of unrolling the jelly roll..... what will I uncover!

But whilst at the store, I couldn't resist these gorgeous squares that I'll use for the other side of the quilt.

So, now the question is, how big is a cot quilt? I have no idea!

I'm shaking & baking.

It's Mr's birthday on Sunday, so I thought I would get off my pregnant butt & bake him a cake.

First I did some sifting....

Then I added a bucket of fruit...

Mixed in some egg & sugar 

Then added another bucket of nuts....

And then baked.

This is what it looked like when I pulled it out of the oven, can't wait to cut it open on Sunday!!!!

Oh and the shaking bit?  Well, for the last 7 months whilst I've been pregnant, I have managed to cook dinner a huge 3 times and baking, well zip zero zilch. So I am shaking in my boots with my first attempt at baking whilst pregnant! I thought I would take the easier option of fruitcake as it won't 'flop' (well hopefully!!).
