So Sally, our dog that’s not meant to be here, was getting chubby. We thought she was just eating both her and Ace’s share of the food. Then all of a sudden, she got very round. This could go one of two ways. She was pregnant, but who’s pups were they? Ace was surely too […]

Block 19 is so very imaginatively titled “Untitled III”. However unimaginative the title may be, I actually think this is a pretty block. Maybe because I’ve used blue and it’s my favourite colour? Possibly. Again, I’ve slightly altered the block to make it easier to paper piece. It’s nice churning these little guys out again.

This week’s block is: Next Door Neighbour. It’s not near as embarrassing as last weeks. In fact, I quite like this one.

May’s Inspiration Board is up over at D-lish Scraps! I adore this photo of Amy, not that you can see much of her. A doctor made her this glove person when we were at the hospital for Stephen. She thought it was awesome. I did too. I guess that’s it for now. I might go

So much for my one a week should be manageable. This weeks block is titled: Untitled 2. As imaginative as I am. Yes, I am a little out of order. I got to week 17 and couldn’t figure out how to create the block, so I skipped past a couple while I worked out my

I thought I would join in over at the D-lish Scraps cybercrop (The Scrap Suite). The challenge was to ‘use journal spots/tags in place of patterned paper on your project, with the added element of paint to be included also.’ I have hoarded journal booklets for years so I finally had a good reason to

I’ve finally gotten back into my Project Life album and well, I’m just over a while year behind. I’m sure I’ll catch up (in retirement). And because I’ve nothing better to do than listen to myself talk, I even made a process video. I know, you’re rapt about spending 15 minutes of your life watching

And now for the last layout I have neglected to share. Back in February I hosted a retreat at Kiah Ridge. It was awesome fun and the best bunch of ladies attended. I can’t wait to go again next year! Anyway, Julie from Scrap of Your Life gave me a challenge to use project life

This is the second unshared layout. This layout is of Amy this time, doing some craft stuff with me. Fun times. It was created for the D-lish Scraps March inspiration board. Yep, those are old as the hills Making Memories alphas. I have hoarded them for what, 10 years or so? Ah my too good

Hmm, I have a couple of layouts that I haven’t shared for some reason. The first one is a layout that was for the December inspiration board over at D-lish Scraps. I finally scrapped one of Kate’s photos from her year 6 farewell. Just because she is in year 9 now doesn’t mean a thing!

Now that I’ve remembered my email address to get into this blog, I guess I can start posting again! I’d like to say that I have plenty of content up my sleeve, but no. Here’s the April inspiration board from D-lish Scraps though! I could not make the white background work, so I went for

So while most of my craft stuff is still packed up since it has no home, I decided to make a new set of printables for when I get around to starting my 2015 album. I was thinking that I probably should have included different colours, like pinks, oranges and purples, but I find I

The new inspiration board is up over at D-lish Scraps. So in the midst of unpacking, I needed to get a layout together! Lucky for me, my sister had sent me a gorgeous bunch of flowers. So here’s my way of saying thanks.

As 2014 draws to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to thank each and every person who has stopped by and read a little bit of this blog. I have been offline lately because we have been going through some huge changes. Namely we moved house by about 420kms. Here

This week is brought to you by the block Dutchman’s Puzzle. I kind of messed up with my fabric selection as the small centre windmill is meant to be an alternate colour. Too bad, so sad I say! I’m not unpicking any more of these bleeping things.

Only 480 blocks to go! Just kidding! I’m not doing the complete 501 blocks. There’s a whole bunch of applique and Christmas ones that just don’t make the cut for this quilt. This is the Windblown Square. I slightly altered it as I just couldn’t work out how to have a whole block in the

The seesaw. Such an awesome thing to ride on as a kid. Now it just gives me a headache with all that jolting. How times change. FYI: swings make me feel sick also now.
