Grateful for...Balance!

hi!

joining in with 'maxabella' today

thanks for all your wonderful encouraging and complimentary comments

concerning the opening of my little 'made it' store...

i reread them just now 'cos i needed to soak them in!

i've made the most awful mistake..

my photos of a couple of covers was appalling

and now i'm going to have to redo them..

live & learn i suppose..lol!

so after being a bit ok..a lot..consumed by this new venture...

it is so refreshing to be able to poke my head out the window

and see my mr p enjoying his beloved car.

these are things in my life

i don't understand much about,

no matter how much the boys explain

it just cruises over my head!

so i drive and don't worry about it...

look at the grin on mr p's face,

he just can't get enough of that engine  : )

that puts a smile on my face

and brings balance back into my universe!

don't ya just love it when your kids are happy...

p.s..and no i'm not going to go all salesy on you...it's just an outlet for the stuff i make so that i can keep making the things i really want to and perhaps pay for a bit of fabric to keep making them!



Teddy Surprises!

good morning!

a couple of days ago

i received a surprise package

from one of my best friends..

remember debbie from canberra?

she sent me the fabric panels

which ended up being 'cat' cushions.

 debbie sent me some teddy fabric

and some red hearts and stripes fabric...

i think they are lovely & bright for the kids...

thanks deb!

don't they look georgeous on the black couch?

these cushions will be

nos 10, 9, 8 & 7

{only six more to go for the nanango primary kids...

and i know maree from 'on my verandah'

is sending six shortly!}

caroline is sending some too..

and i'm sure kids in theodore will make good use of them.

so

i think we are very near the end of our mission!

when the final cushion covers come in we'll be celebrating here

so watch this space...

i am so grateful to all of you!
